What Inclusive Concepts Inc does

Inclusive Concepts Inc is a founder-led, privately held coaching, community, and consulting business headquartered in Harmony, Alberta, Canada, operated by Inez Ashworth. The company serves two distinct segments. For individual women entrepreneurs, it delivers With Total Focus (a 12-month 1:1 thought partnership capped at 5 clients per year), Women Talking Freely (a 6-month small group circle of 8-10 women priced at $500), and the forthcoming Women Thinking Forward Cohorts slated for 2027. Community engagement is anchored by the annual Women, Truth & Fire Summit (next: November 19, 2026 at Mickelson National Golf Course, Harmony, Alberta), the What the Future end-of-year reset day in the Calgary area, and the Women, Truth & Fire Podcast launching June 2026. For enterprise clients, the Built For Her sub-brand delivers custom blended learning, SCORM-packaged e-learning modules compatible with Articulate and Absorb LMS platforms, instructor-led workshops, Women's ERG programming, and train-the-trainer handoffs to organizations in financial services, energy, trades, engineering, and tech sectors.

The underlying technology stack is intentionally lean: Squarespace-hosted website, Calendly-driven booking, virtual delivery for individual offerings, in-person events at regional venues, and SCORM/LMS-interoperable content modules for organizational training. There are no AI/ML components, APIs, SDKs, mobile apps, or patents disclosed. Content is the primary intangible asset, built through the founder's 15+ years of DEI practice and proprietary curriculum.

The business is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. Revenue mechanics span recurring individual subscriptions (coaching and circle), professional services for custom organizational work at quote-based pricing, ticket-based annual events, and a forthcoming podcast subscription channel. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, leaning on the founder's lived experience as an immigrant woman with ADHD navigating menopause, grief, and entrepreneurship as the authentic differentiator. Pricing is publicly disclosed only for the circle ($500); 1:1 and enterprise pricing is consultation-gated. Customer references are exclusively SMB and micro-business testimonials (Vidushi Korczyk, Diana Dimmock, Meredith MacKay, Christina Gale); no enterprise logos are publicly named.
