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 and turn their expertise into revenue streams. But now, my mission is clearer than ever. I empower women both professionally and personally as a strategic problem solver, consultant and coach.
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.

5 Real-Deal Leadership Lessons I've Learned from Being a Single Parent
“The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly grow up.”
- John C. Maxwell
Hey there! Today, I'm taking a bit of a personal turn on the blog. As a single parent, I've had my fair share of chaos, coffee, and late-night worries. But, you know what? It's also taught me some pretty incredible things about leadership.
Let's dive into these lessons, which are as real as it gets, and see how they translate into our world of entrepreneurship and personal growth.
1. Juggling Like a Pro
First up, multitasking. If you're a single parent, you're basically the CEO of your household. You're balancing budgets, fixing scraped knees, and sometimes, helping with math homework that looks like a foreign language (can anyone say COMMON CORE?!?) . In business, it's not much different. We're constantly switching hats, managing deadlines, and trying to keep our cool. It’s all about prioritizing and keeping the main thing, the main thing.
2. Emotional Intelligence is My Superpower
Reading the room? More like reading a middle-schooler who's on the brink of a meltdown because of some dramatic event that happened in their group of friends and flipping through attitudes faster than the speed of sound. Single parenting has turned me into an emotional ninja. I can sense a mood shift from a mile away, and it’s a game-changer in the boardroom. Understanding what your team needs, sometimes before they do, is key to creating that vibe where everyone feels seen and heard.
3. Bouncing Back Like a Boss
Resilience? Check. Single parents have this on lock. Why? Because it's a have to not a want to. We’ve seen tough times, heartaches, and have powered through when we thought we couldn’t. In our businesses, this means when things don’t go as planned (and let's be real, when do they ever?), we don’t crumble. We adapt, learn, and come back stronger. It’s about finding that silver lining and rolling with the punches.
4. Decision-Making on the Fly
As a single parent, sometimes you've got to make big calls solo – and fast. Whether it’s a health scare or a last-minute school project, you learn to trust your gut. In the entrepreneurial world, it’s much the same. Quick, confident decisions can be the difference between a missed opportunity and a major win. And hey, sometimes you just have to go with your gut and hope for the best.
5. Cheerleader-in-Chief
Last but definitely not least, single parents are the ultimate cheerleaders. From celebrating that first bike ride without training wheels to those small wins on a Tuesday, we’re there with the high-fives and happy dances. In business, being the one who lifts others up, recognizes hard work, and keeps spirits high is what leadership’s all about. It's amazing what a little encouragement and belief in someone can do.
Wrapping it up
So, there you have it – leadership lessons from the school of single parenting. It’s messy, challenging, but oh so rewarding. And you know what? It’s these real, everyday experiences that make us better leaders, better entrepreneurs, and honestly, better people.
Here at EBD Collective Coaching & Consulting, we're all about embracing the journey, learning from our experiences, and sharing those lessons with others. Whether you're a single parent, juggling a side hustle, or just trying to figure it all out – know that your experiences are shaping you into an incredible leader. Keep pushing, keep growing, and let’s keep sharing these stories!
See you in the next post!
