Subcontracting to 6 Figures
Turn your public health expertise into consulting contracts — in six weeks, with Dr. Des in the room.
WHAT IT IS
Subcontracting to 6 Figures is a focused six-week cohort that takes you from "I think I could consult" to a signed contract.
Five modules, live weekly coaching with Dr. Des, and the exact templates, scripts, and bid frameworks she used to build her own firm.
It's built specifically for public health professionals — no generic business fluff, just the roadmap for winning contracts in our field.
These aren't projections. They're signed contracts.
Cohorts open every two months and doors stay open one week only. Join the waitlist to enroll first and lock the lowest price.

Dr. Desiree Strickland
I launched my public health consulting firm in 2022 — and nobody handed me a roadmap. I figured out the niche, the business structure, the bids, and the contracts the hard way, one late night at a time.
Within two years I'd signed six-figure evaluation contracts, built a team, and realized something: the hardest part was never the work — it was the isolation. There was no room for public health professionals who wanted to build businesses, no one to ask the money questions, no proof it could be done.
So I built it. The Public Health Club is the room I wish I'd had: a place to find your people, learn the business of public health, and grow from your first contract to a real company. The course, the CEO Circle, the podcast, the Summit — they're all just doors into the same community.
Whatever stage you're in, there's a path for you here — and you don't have to figure it out alone.
