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.

What's Personal Growth Anyway?
“Personal development is a major time-saver. The better you become, the less time it takes you to achieve your goals .” - Brian Tracy
Personal growth is an exciting journey filled with many quotable moments of insight, inspiration, and truth. These moments of profound revelation can provide the momentum needed to propel us towards our personal development goals. So, let's dive into the world of personal growth, starting with defining what this truly means.
The definition of personal growth centers around the idea of self-improvement and self-development.
So, What's Personal Growth Anyway?
At its core, it's a lifelong process of enhancing your skills, knowledge, and self-awareness. It reflects our aspirations, our drive to excel, and the values we hold dear.
Now, how about the synonyms for personal growth? These words can be just as meaningful. Self-growth, personality growth, self-enhancement, self-advancement - all these terms boil down to the same principle of being better today than you were yesterday.
But what are some tangible examples of personal growth? Well, they can range from learning a new skill, breaking a harmful habit, to taking on a leadership role at work. It isn't limited to professional aspects alone; personal growth encompasses every sphere of our life, every endeavor that brings you closer to the best version of yourself.
Here are some thoughtful quotes about personal growth:
- "Every moment of one’s existence, one is growing into more or retreating into less." – Norman Mailer
- "Personal development is a major time-saver. The better you become, the less time it takes you to achieve your goals." – Brian Tracy
- "The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be." – Ralph Waldo Emerson
And these meaningful words can fuel our journey of self-improvement. But how do we go about it?
Here are some steps:
- Start with setting personal development goals. They could be work-related like seeking leadership roles or personal like reading more self-improvement books.
- Make a personal development plan. Break down your larger goals into smaller, achievable tasks to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
- Dedicate time regularly to work on these tasks. Consistency is key in any personal growth plan.
- Seek a personal growth counselor if you need guidance. They can provide the right tools, resources, and motivation to keep you on track.
- Assess your progress periodically and adjust your plan if necessary.
Speaking of self-improvement books, they are an invaluable tool in your personal growth journey. Some of the best books for self-improvement include classics like "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie, "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill, or contemporary bestsellers like my personal favorite "The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth" by John C. Maxwell and "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen R. Covey.
Personal growth essays by numerous authors also offer unique perspectives on self-development. Reading these essays can give you ideas on how to approach your own growth.
Though the journey is deeply personal, remember that you are not alone. There are numerous personal growth services available that can help guide you. At EBD Collective Coaching & Consulting, we offer Personal growth coaching that can help set a framework for the changes you desire. Book your discovery call
As you embark on this journey, keep in mind these self growth goals:
- To learn and to grow continuously
- To overcome fears and barriers
- To cultivate resilience and determination
- To strive for a greater meaning in life
In the realm of personal growth and development, profound growth comes from embracing change and welcoming challenges. So as you evolve and transform, here's a powerful quote to remember:
"Change is the end result of all true learning." - Leo Buscaglia.
So, what is personal growth to you? How will you write your own story of self-improvement? Always remember, personal growth is not about becoming a perfect person. It's about being better than you were yesterday, and who knows where that journey can lead!
