For The 50+ Woman Who's Already Done Alot
You're not new to responsibility.
You’ve led teams, managed careers, raised families, built reputations.
You’ve navigated complex spaces, made things happen, and kept everything moving — even when it cost you.
But now, you’re done building from burnout.
You’re done squeezing your vision into frameworks that don’t fit.
You don’t need hype.
You need clarity.
You’re ready for a business or platform that reflects who you are now — not who you had to be to survive the last season.
You want structure that makes sense.
A strategy that protects your peace.
A space to think clearly — without having to perform, explain, or shrink.
You want to move differently now.
And you’re looking for the right support to help you do it — with intention and real tools that work.
That’s where I come in.
No fluff. No performance.
Just grounded guidance, systems that work, and clarity that lasts.

Hey, I'm Coach Dezi!
I am a coach, strategist, and leader. I created EBD Collective because I know what it feels like to lead without enough support.
My work is about helping women leaders and entrepreneurs simplify their systems, move from uncertainty to confidence, and create the impact they were made for.

Desireé Foster-Collins
Principal Consultant & Founder
I spent over two decades in corporate building and leading multimillion-dollar systems and projects. Now, I help leaders like you build something far more powerful — a business that reflects your deepest purpose.
I’m Desiree Foster-Collins — Strategist and Executive Leadership Coach, and the heart behind EBD Collective. My journey has taken me from corporate leadership at one of California’s largest utility companies to coaching entrepreneurs around the country.
I’ve spent the last three decades building teams, managing complex capital projects, raising children, mentoring leaders, and helping visionaries bring structure to their brilliance. But now, my mission is clearer than ever.
I believe entrepreneurs and small business owners are the heartbeat of communities and deserve access to the same resources, systems & tools that big businesses have at their disposal.
Through EBD Collective, I serve organizations, entrepreneurs and communities who want clarity in their vision, structure in their systems, ready to build with intention and peace in their process.
Today, I use all those years of strategic precision, cross-functional leadership, and technical know-how - to serve people like you.
Leaders who are ready to stop duct-taping their systems together.
Leaders who want to build with clarity.
Leaders who want courage, confidence and real growth.
Bring the vision. I'll help you bring it to life.

From Corporate to Clarity: A Simple Guide to Finding Business Focus
I remember staring at my pristine corporate cubicle wall, surrounded by achievement awards and perfectly organized spreadsheets. Yet something felt off. Like many of you, I had this persistent fog clouding my vision of what could be. Sound familiar?
Let's be real - transitioning from corporate life to entrepreneurship feels like switching from autopilot to manual steering. One minute you're following a clear roadmap, the next you're creating the map yourself.
But here's the good news: that fog? It's temporary.
And I'm here to help you navigate through it.
Finding Your North Star
Remember Alice in Wonderland? When she meets the Cheshire Cat, she asks which way she should go. The Cat replies, "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to." This perfectly captures the first step in gaining clarity: knowing your destination.
I learned this lesson the hard way. In my early days of business ownership, I said "yes" to every opportunity that came my way. Website design? Sure! Social media management? Why not! Business strategy? Absolutely! I was spreading myself thin and getting nowhere fast.
The corporate world trains us to think differently. In my decade of corporate experience, everything had a process, a framework, and a clear chain of command. But when you step into entrepreneurship, that structure vanishes. According to recent studies, 67% of corporate professionals struggle with decision-making in their first year of business ownership.
The breakthrough came when I finally sat down and asked myself: "What do I actually want to be known for?" This simple question changed everything.
Action Step: Take 15 minutes today to write down your "perfect day" in business. What are you doing? Who are you serving? What problems are you solving?
Be specific. This becomes your North Star.
Simplify to Amplify
Here's a truth bomb: complexity is the enemy of execution. In corporate, we often wear complexity like a badge of honor. But in entrepreneurship, simplicity is your superpower.
Corporate life might have taught us that complexity equals sophistication. However, in entrepreneurship, simplicity drives success. Research shows businesses with focused offerings generate 47% more revenue than those with diverse, complex structures.
Action Step: List all your current business activities. Now, ruthlessly eliminate anything that doesn't directly contribute to your core mission.
Keep only what moves you toward your North Star.
Create Your Decision Filter
The fog often returns when we face tough choices. Should I take this client? Is this partnership right for me? Do I need this new tool?
Think of a decision filter as your business GPS. It's a set of questions that guide your choices and keep you focused. Here's mine:
Does this align with my expertise?
Will it serve my ideal client?
Does it excite me?
Can I deliver exceptional value?
Will it be profitable?
Action Step: Create your own decision filter with 3-5 questions. Write them down and keep them visible. Use them before saying "yes" to any new opportunity.
The Path Forward
Clarity isn't a destination - it's a practice. Some days will be crystal clear, others might feel a bit hazy. That's normal. What matters is having tools to find your way back to focus.
Remember: You didn't leave corporate life to create another version of the same constraints. You left to build something meaningful, something uniquely yours.
FAQs About Finding Business Clarity
Q: How long does it take to gain real business clarity?
A: While initial clarity can come within weeks, deep business clarity typically develops over 3-6 months of intentional focus.
Q: What if my business vision keeps changing?
A: Evolution is natural, but your core purpose should remain stable. Regular quarterly reviews help maintain alignment.
Final Thoughts: Your Journey to Business Clarity
Your journey from foggy to focused doesn't have to be perfect. It just needs to be intentional. Start with your North Star, simplify your approach, and create your decision filter. These three steps will help you navigate through any uncertainty that comes your way.
And hey, if you're still feeling a bit lost in the fog, remember this: every successful entrepreneur started exactly where you are now. The only difference? They kept moving forward, one clear decision at a time.
Take that first step today. Your future self will thank you.
