Calling All Black Professional Women…
It’s time to take your corporate career destiny into your own hands.
A 6-month career development program for ambitious Black professional women who want to transform their mindset, uncover their career purpose, land a fulfilling job, and negotiate their highest salary yet.
In just 6 months, see your career completely transformed as you cultivate a growth mindset, discover your passion and purpose, and land a fulfilling job.
I know you thought you’d be further along in your career by now…
Tell me if any of this sounds familiar...
- You feel stuck in your current role… sure, it’s a paycheck, but being unfulfilled comes at a cost… and your well-being has the receipts.
- You know deep down that it might be time to change careers… yet you’re not confident in how to market your skills… and question whether you’re overqualified or underqualified for every role you come across.
- You struggle to seek out mentors, raise your hand in meetings, receive recognition for your work, or step up to lead high-impact projects… and you feel the pressure of being the only Black woman in the room every time you speak up.
- You’re tired of languishing in a career that’s not aligned… wondering, “doesn’t life have so much more in store for me?”
- You know you have so much untapped potential to offer… and you want to be in a role that lets your full shine out!
I HEAR YOU, SIS.
(And I’ve been where you are.)
You wonder how long you can really go on like this without burning out from mental and emotional exhaustion. You don’t want to see your talents go to waste!
You know there’s probably a better role for you, but just the thought of going down another LinkedIn or Indeed rabbithole job search already has you worn out.
You invested in your education and you’ve always been willing to put in the work to succeed… but there was no class you could take on Career Development.
You wish someone could take you by the hand and guide you through stepping up and stepping into a more aligned role, a higher salary, and greater career fulfillment.
The good news?
There has never been a better time to discover your purpose and advance your career.
Imagine what you’re going to feel like when you’ve aligned with your career purpose, landed your dream role, and increased your salary by 30-40% or more.
What would it feel like to know with confidence that you have the skills and resources to sit in the driver’s seat of your own career?
To be able to walk into any job interview and market yourself with confidence?
Or better yet, walk into your next conversation with a recruiter knowing you’ve paved the way for a generous compensation package?
And it doesn’t end there…
What if you could be the driving force behind projects and initiatives that you feel passionate about?
Can you imagine the impact that kind of confidence, fulfillment, and prosperity would have for you, for your family, for your community?
How much would that transform your life?
Right about now, one part of you might be yelling “PREACH!” and another part might be going “Hmm…”
Let me guess, it’s bringing up all the “buts?”
But I don’t know where to start...
But I’ve already submitted so many online job applications…
But what if I’m not qualified for the career that I want?
But employers keep giving me the runaround...
But I don't have the confidence to negotiate a 5-figure pay increase...
But what if I make the wrong career choice and end up back in the same place I am now or worse?
But I can’t take any more rejection or disappointment…
I know you’ve faced more than your fair share of challenges in your career, but so have the hundreds of Black professionals that we’ve supported in their job search strategy, which is why I can tell you…
You DO have what it takes to build a fulfilling career of purpose and impact.
And I’m about to show you how.
Stick with me, and your career will never be the same...

In just 6 months, see your career completely transformed as you cultivate a growth mindset, discover your passion and purpose, and land a fulfilling job.
Here’s what your career journey could be…
“Above And Beyond My Ask!”
“After countering an offer, I received a $10K signing bonus, payment of my state license fees, and a $10K increase in my base salary, above and beyond my ask! The department head called me saying ‘we really want you here.’”
- Ke’Andra, Director of Entertainment Business Affairs
“A 51% Salary Increase?!”
“When I joined the program, I was working a part-time retail job far from where I thought I’d be three years after earning my Masters degree. Desiree helped me gain the motivation and confidence to redefine and pursue my passion for marketing and data analytics. Now, I’m at RentPath earning 51% more!”
- Shala, Digital Marketing Analyst
“Landed a Business Analyst Interview WITHOUT Previous Experience”
“In addition to the interview I landed at Apple, I also landed an interview with Lbrands for an Associate Business Analyst role!!!!!!! I intend to post this on the Facebook group after I received a confirmation on the interview date. This role aligns very well with my 2.0 self, as in, it is offering what I wrote on my dust-filled post-it from earlier in the program.
- Haja, Homework Help Specialist
“Bye-Bye To A Hate-Hate Relationship With Linkedin...”
“I got a new job (that I actually love), my confidence feels fully restored, I’m no longer in a hate/hate relationship with LinkedIn, and I got to meet some amazing Black professionals who inspire me as much as Desiree does.”
- Elora, Executive Assistant

MODULE 2:
Cultivate Your Mind & Circle
Next, it’s time to take a deep dive into your mindset and what success means to you. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

“#WIN! I want to share that I recently accepted a job offer! After an unfortunate layoff and job search of 5 months, I landed a role at an influencer marketing agency. A huge thank you to Desiree who helped me with salary negotiation! With her guidance, I was able to persuade the company to revise their initial offer resulting in a $9,000 salary increase. And… I will be making $16,000 more than I did in my last role! Never give up and know your worth!”
- Shaniese, Influencer Marketing
“Your program has been invaluable to me, and I attribute it to helping me realize what I actually want to do in my career. It had been in the back of my mind, but the more I delved into the course the answer became clear. I’m excited to now know that I want to get my master’s degree to become a marriage and family therapist. ...This is truly the best decision I’ve made in a long time, and I have you to thank for it. Seriously, THANK YOU!!”
- Karen, Entertainment Coordinator
“I owe you my life. I am sitting in my new office as an HR Assistant making $60,000 (was making $38,000) and it’s ALL because of your leadership and wisdom. I will send a follow-up email telling all about this new position but I couldn’t read one more resume without thanking you!!!!”
- Amber, Student Advisor
“With my newfound confidence and career clarity, I am no longer interested in taking ‘just anything.’ I find comfort knowing that I am the sh*t and don’t have to put my wants aside just to get a new job.”
- Natalie, Sales Manager
“Working with Desiree has completely changed how I understand the job search process. I’m proud to say that I received not one but TWO offers within 2 months of starting the program.”
- Onycha, Health Education Analyst

“I was unemployed for 4 months and was working with an executive coach, but wasn’t getting all the tools I needed to feel like I was moving in the right direction. After ups and downs for months, within 3 weeks of joining the program I got interviews for 3/10 of the top companies I wanted to work for, got an offer, and negotiated a $15K salary increase. Now I’m making 6-FIGURES!”
- Susan, Public Policy Advisor
“I spent nearly 8 months unemployed, feeling frustrated and hopeless. I struggled with overcoming Imposter Syndrome and selling myself in interviews. During my time working with Desiree I've earned two offers while interviewing with top companies such as Spotify, Facebook, and LinkedIn.”
- Wadnes, Client Solutions Partner
“I just completed a virtual interview for a position at Goldman Sachs!! It was for a role that was recommended to me by a connection and the cool thing is, I didn’t even apply! That’s really cool to see how powerful a connection can be in your job search.
It’s interesting how earlier this year I was focused on gaining interviews to build the confidence that I had lost during the months when I wasn’t hearing back. Now that I have been getting interviews, I have begun to think differently. My confidence is back and I feel really prepared to have career conversations.”
- Jessika, Account Manager
“I got two interviews and was offered a position. For the position I was offered, I negotiated my salary and used advice from Desiree to get a better offer. Although I did not take the job, it was the first time I felt comfortable negotiating my salary as a Black woman.”
- Marcia, Teacher
“Today was my first day as a Program Coordinator with Kennesaw State University! It's only day 1 but everything I was exposed to are things I’ve been YEARNING for years now throughout my career transition. I just want to thank Desiree & her entire team for their guidance and genuine support!! I’ve been bragging about you guys for months now & I'm so grateful that I not only invested in Desiree’s vision but invested in MYSELF!
- Anecia, Program Coordinator
“I’m coming up on a year at HBO, and I keep reflecting on my time in your program. You and your course were such a valuable resource to me during a time when I felt so stuck on my journey. Thank you again for everything!”
- Dana, Digital Content Coordinator
How It Works
Conquer Corporate LITE is a digital program that you can participate in from home, from anywhere in the world, on your schedule.
As long as you have an internet connection, a device, and a dream, you can take full advantage of everything that the course has to offer.
You’ll attend bi-weekly coaching calls via Zoom, access our membership portal to view the pre-recorded video modules and pep talks, and participate in our private Facebook community in between sessions.
You’ll be able to go at your own pace and also benefit from being in a community of ambitious Black women like you reaching for the stars and cheering each other on.
Your Time Commitment
We know that you’re busy, and we respect your valuable time.
Conquer Corporate LITE is designed to save you time by giving you exactly what you need to accelerate your growth through high-impact actions.
This isn’t about wasting countless hours on LinkedIn or Indeed… this is about a targeted strategy that yields fast and sustainable results.
We recommend that you set aside about 2-5 hours per week to go through the modules and weekly assignments, attend the bi-weekly coaching calls, review any of your personalized feedback, and execute your targeted strategy.
In the end, the time invested now will likely save you YEARS of effort trying to advance your career alone.
Why Apply Now?
There’s never been a better time to make your move and cultivate your dream career.
- Each day that you hesitate or delay your career growth, what is it really costing you? Your time, your quality of life, your peace of mind, tens of thousands of dollars in lost wages, and life-changing career opportunities, that’s what. From this perspective, can you really afford to wait any longer?
- Imagine if you got started today. Within 30 days you could begin securing job interviews with your brand new resume and LinkedIn profile. Within 6 months you could have an entirely new career making 30%-50% more! What difference would it make to earn an extra $750 - $2,500 more per paycheck in the next 6 months?
- Your DIY approach isn't going to cut it. You're here because you've already tried to manage your career alone and it hasn't worked out. It's time to get the support you need so that you can start seeing REAL RESULTS.
- Time is passing you by. Sis, life does not wait for anyone! I know how much it hurts to see your peers surpassing you in their careers while you're stuck in a job that you don't enjoy. You deserve better and you can have better, but only if you get started now.
- You need at least 2-3 months to lay the foundation for your career pivot. It takes time to plan for a successful career pivot, so the earlier you get started, the better!
THE QUESTION IS...
Will you delay your career transition and risk being in the same place 6 months from now?
- or -
Will you commit to your own growth and take advantage of the opportunities waiting for you today?
This Program Is FOR YOU If:
- You’re an ambitious professional Black woman or woman of color who is dedicated to growing your career by landing your dream job, pivoting into a new role, field, or industry, or negotiating a raise or promotion
- You’re passionate about reaching your full potential, making power moves, and continuously learning
- You're committed to showing up for yourself and cultivating a growth mindset
- You’re ready to embrace setbacks, rejections, and challenges as a natural part of the leveling up process
- You know that investing in yourself pays dividends over time, and you’re ready to commit to growing your salary by an average of $10K-$30K/year
This Program Is NOT FOR YOU If:
- You don’t have an unwavering dedication to your growth and you’re willing to stay stuck and stagnant
- You’re looking for a silver bullet and aren’t willing to take personal responsibility for your results
- You’re not willing to put in the time, energy, or effort to advance your career
- You’re ready to give up when any little rejection or challenge comes your way
- You aren’t ready to invest in career development and would rather keep DIYing your growth or not growing at all
Our PROMISE to you.
Conquer Corporate LITE will teach you everything you need to know to make your next career move the best one yet, from overcoming fear to exploring your passions and purpose.
The Choice is Yours...
You can stay stuck and frustrated in an unfulfilling career or waste countless hours trying to “figure it all out” on your own… but you don’t know what you don’t know.
- OR -
You can apply to join Conquer Corporate LITE and work with a career coach who’s supported hundreds of Black professionals in their job searches and has truly SEEN IT ALL.
Think about where you could be in your career a year from now with this support.
What will you choose?
And I know you may be asking yourself things like:
“But can I really afford this investment?”
I know that investing in yourself can be a new concept to many, but I’m here to tell you that the investments you make now will pay for themselves many times over in your career.
Think about it -- you’ve likely invested significant dollars into your education -- but did any of that education truly prepare you for the job market?
Not only does this program fill in the gaps in your soft skills, but it prepares you with strategies you’ll use at every stage of your career.
Our intention is to position you for landing your dream role, negotiating your highest salary ever, and laying the groundwork for salary increases year over year.
If you dedicate yourself to career advancement and follow our step-by-step strategies, you’ll find the program more than pays for itself at every turn in your career.
“Can I join the Conquer Corporate LITE Program if I do not identify as a Black woman?”
While we create programs that address the unique challenges that Black women face in the workplace, we do welcome people from all genders, races, and cultural backgrounds to join us as long as they are committed to respecting, supporting and uplifting others within a Black-led space.
“I’m not sure I have time for this…”
I hear that, but the better question here is how much time you’re losing by staying stuck, overwhelmed, or worse, burnt out, in a career that’s not sustaining and fulfilling you.
We all know what it’s like to go down demoralizing job search rabbit holes, firing off resumes into the void, and losing your confidence along the way as you get nothing but crickets.
Who’s got time for that?
“What if I don’t have what it takes?”
As long as you’re dedicated to advancing your career and willing to put in the work with our step-by-step strategies, the sky’s the limit for you.
This is why within Conquer Corporate LITE, we start with cultivating a growth mindset so that you no longer get thrown off by any bumps in the road, and know it’s all part of the process of upleveling your career.
Once you’ve completed this phase of the training, you will never again have to wonder whether you “have what it takes” to do anything you set your mind to.
From Burnout To A 6-figure Pivot During a Pandemic! (Plus Bonuses!)
“You were the first career coach to teach me the importance of ‘optimizing your LinkedIn.’ I was burnt out submitting applications and I wanted the jobs to come to me, so I took your advice and spent 6 hours optimizing and updating my LinkedIn in one day.
Not only am I able to maintain a 6-figure salary even as I pivot industries, I negotiated for an additional $10K signing bonus and an additional $60K to purchase stock within the company.
I cannot believe I was able to land my dream career in the middle of a pandemic making more money than I was at my previous company. WOW WOW WOW!”
- Raven, Manager of International Education
