You’ve seen the gaps in the system.
You’re passionate about equity, impact, and doing work that actually makes a difference.

A visionary who’s tired of feeling stuck in someone else’s system—and finally ready to build your own

Who the Public Health CEO Circle Is For:
The Public Health CEO Circle is built for bold public health professionals who are ready to lead with intention and build something bigger than a job title.
Whether you’re just getting started or refining what you’ve built, this space is for you if you’re:
Building a consulting business and want structure, pricing clarity, and consistent clients
Creating a digital course, toolkit, or training that reflects your expertise and earns passively
Launching or growing a membership or community that serves a specific public health audience
Positioning yourself as a thought leader through speaking, writing, content, or advocacy
You don’t need a full business plan or a perfect offer — you need guidance, accountability, and a powerful community of purpose-driven peers who get it.
If you're ready to grow your public health business with strategy, confidence, and aligned support — the CEO Circle is for you.
What else is included?
Bonus 01
The CEO Clarity System
Valued at $197
The CEO Clarity System is a simple, repeatable planning rhythm designed to help you operate like a CEO, not just react like a founder. This system gives you three focused tools you’ll use every week, month, and quarter to protect your time, review what actually matters, and make strategic decisions with confidence.
Inside, you’ll get:
A Weekly CEO Agenda to prioritize CEO-level work and reduce reactive weeks
A Monthly CEO Review Dashboard to track revenue, capacity, and momentum
A Quarterly CEO Reset Worksheet to realign your priorities, systems, and focus
This isn’t a planner. It’s not busywork.
It’s a decision-making system for public health CEOs who want clarity, structure, and sustainable growth.
Expires February 2nd, 2026!
Bonus 02
CEO GPT Builder Pack
Valued at $97
Most AI tools are overwhelming because they try to do too much. These don’t.
The CEO GPT Prompts are a focused set of four single-purpose custom GPTs you can build inside ChatGPT to support how you actually think and work as a CEO — not as a content creator or tech expert.
Inside, you’ll get prompts to create:
a CEO Thought Partner GPT for decision-making and prioritization
an Operations & Delegation GPT to turn work into systems
a Thought Leadership & Content GPT trained to write in your voice
a CFO GPT to support financial clarity and CEO-level money thinking
These are not generic prompts or prebuilt bots. Each GPT is intentionally scoped to do one job well, so you get clearer outputs and more consistent support.
This is a practical, low-lift way to start using AI as a thinking and execution tool — without overcomplicating your workflow.
Expires February 4th, 2026!
What Our CEOs Have Said About The CEO Circle:
What I love most about the Public Health CEO Circle is the sense of community and shared learning. Being surrounded by other public health entrepreneurs has given me both the encouragement and practical tools I needed to step fully into my role as CEO. I don’t have to have all the answers — I can lean on this network for ideas, accountability, and support. The workshops and resources have been valuable, but the biggest shift has been in mindset: I feel more confident, less isolated, and better equipped to grow my business with clarity and purpose.
-Alexandra Piatkowski (Piat Public Health)
It has helped me be more intentional about thinking and moving like the CEO of my business. It has made me see the benefit of making time to continue to learn and build my business so that I have the creative space I need. I don't always get to make the workshops but I created a spreadsheet to track which ones I missed and when I was able to watch the replay. If I have a particularly busy week I will listen to the workshop as I commute to various destinations or during my walks, etc. Each webinar I join or rewatch I gain at least one takeaway that I can implement.
-Zenobia Bryant Antoine, PhD (Black Health Black Wealth, LLC)The workshops have been the most valuable part for me. Hearing experts break down systems and frameworks step by step makes complex operations feel manageable. Learning from people who've built these systems before has saved me time and keeps me from building from zero when tested frameworks exist.

A Note from Dr. Des, Founder of the Public Health Club
One thing I’ve learned on this journey — as a founder, entrepreneur, and public health professional — is that building something meaningful can feel incredibly lonely.
Even when you’re doing great work, even when the money starts to come in, even when you’re booked and busy… it can still feel like you’re carrying it all by yourself.
And sometimes, instead of community, what you get is comparison. Instead of support, you feel like you're being seen as competition.
But I created the Public Health CEO Circle because I know there’s another way.
In this space, we believe in collaboration over competition.
We share. We strategize. We speak life into each other’s ideas.
We level up — together — because that’s how we grow faster, stronger, and more sustainably.
If there’s one thing that will shape the next chapter of your business, it’s your circle.
Let’s make sure you have the right one.
You don’t have to do this alone — and you were never meant to.
Let’s build something powerful. Together.
– Dr. Des
Founder, The Public Health Club
What Our CEOs Have Said About The CEO Circle:
I'm loving the book club and the workshops on key topics beginner CEOs need. What it's helped me with the most is changing my mindset from employee to entrepreneur. As someone who has been an employee for over 15 years, this mindset shift is critical when stepping into full-time entrepreneurship or even part-time. The CEO circle is constantly giving me information and resources that help me understand what it means to be a CEO and develop the templates, and grounding statements that will help me grow.

Quick update from my first live launch last night..
Overall, it went really well! I showed up. I taught. People were engaged. And yes… I did the thing! 💪🏾
Because of everything we’ve been learning in the Circle…
✅ My email list grew significantly
✅ I had strong attendance
✅ And people already enrolled in my PMP Study Lab!!
I’m choosing to call this a bold success with a great learning curve. And most importantly… I started. 🚀
Thank you, Dr. Des, for teaching us your ways, pushing us to execute, and reminding us that we do not learn by planning forever. We learn by doing.
I also leaned on the digital course workshop, and even though I didn’t implement it fully, it worked! It was so helpful in guiding the structure and flow of the Lab, and I’m even more excited for my next live launch.
So thankful for this circle and for the reminder that our full backgrounds often hold the missing piece!
