What InnateFive does

InnateFive is a privately held, boutique corporate coaching and workshop facilitation consultancy founded in 2017 and headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island. The firm delivers strengths-based leadership development, team-building, and inclusive-culture services built on Gallup CliftonStrengths instruments and methodology. Its service catalog comprises one-on-one coaching engagements (Leader/Manager Deep Dive at 90 minutes, Diving Into Your Talent Profile at 60-90 minutes, Leverage For Life Events at 3-5 sessions of 60 minutes), team workshops and retreats (Team Dynamics & DNA at 2.5-hour or half-day formats), Strengths Workshops, Retreat Facilitation, and Mindfulness Services including meditation instruction. The offering is anchored on the founder Claudia Cardozo's combined credentials as a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, Chopra Meditation Instructor, and Cornell-certified Inclusion specialist, supplemented by team members with PMP, Prosci, and yoga/Ayurveda credentials.

The business model is project-based professional services, with revenue generated through quote-based engagements priced per workshop or coaching engagement; pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts appear structured as multi-year engagements. Distribution is direct and consultative, targeting HR leaders and executives at enterprise and mid-market organizations. Named clients include RSM US LLP, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, Citizens Bank, IGT, Lantheus, Altrinsic Global Advisors, Freight Farms, MassChallenge, and Omena, spanning financial services, gaming, healthcare, investment management, agriculture technology, and nonprofit/accelerator segments. Top-of-funnel demand generation is supported by organic content marketing (articles, TEDx talk, LinkedIn/Facebook/Twitter presence) and a newsletter tied to the founder's book.

In February 2025, the firm expanded its intellectual property footprint with the publication of Claudia Cardozo's book 'Love Is the Path: An Immigrant's Journey to Belonging Through the Workplace' on Amazon, positioned as both a thought-leadership asset and a marketing channel. InnateFive operates with 1-10 employees, is founder-owned with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or institutional shareholders, and maintains a founding board role in the 'A Loving Organization Consortium' as a strategic ecosystem anchor.
