I was scheduled for a phone consult for Marketing Counseling at VentureWalk with Desiree. I am normally a person who prefers face-to-face appointments and was somewhat skeptical. I thought I wouldn’t get the full effect of a face to face encounter. However, it was totally the opposite. I was very pleased with my telephone appointment. I was quite… Suzanne VarnadoVarnado’s Design

Désirée of VentureWalk is a master at helping you master your message. At the end of the day, I know my business better than anyone else but that also means I didn’t always communicate things effectively because I assumed everyone got it. She was very helpful in getting me to refine my pitch and making sure I communicate the important points … Benardett Gno-FinnSénica

Desiree has worked with me to develop the goals and objectives for my company’s premier annual event and to regain a solid footing for the conference parent company after Hurricane Katrina. In both circumstances I found Desiree to be insightful, knowledgeable and very professional. I highly recommend her for any company seeking a business develop… Eric CagerCutting Edge Music Business Conference

Désirée is a woman of infinite patience and good advice. I had the pleasure to work with her in preparation for an event. She showed me the difference between the idea of helping a person develop a strategy for public speaking and actually making the difference in getting you to “get it”. Karen GadboisThe Lens

Our organization works with Désirée to deliver training because she makes it easy to implement and I know our members will be satisfied and get quality content. Every event in which she speaks results in a packed house, her reputation draws a crowd and our organization is the better for it! Adele LondonGood Work Network

Désirée is the go-to person for small business owners. Her expertise, when followed, brings results. Her sound advice helped me create a steady monthly income, increased my productivity through better task management, and allowed me to return to loving business rather than enduring it. I highly recommend Désirée as a business consultant and coach. Michelle CullisonDaystar New Media, Inc

Désirée and the team at VentureWalk are true professionals; it truly has been a pleasure having her work with me. After 20 years of operating my business, I’ve not worked with professionals that were good at what they do until I met Désirée. My business would not have made as great an impact without her. One single email message she developed… Tina EmenesTina’s Cajun Creations

Désirée is one of the most conscientious, communicative and fair professionals I’ve worked with. She knows what she says she knows, and knows how to swiftly find, thoughtfully build and deftly manage a team of experts who provide the skills she doesn’t know. Now, if only I could clone her 10 times over! Eileen ParzekOwner/Creative DirectorBusiness Design Studio

VentureWalk has made the difference for me and my company. I was finally able to communicate a very complex idea, make it easier to understand and help others to appreciate why it matters and why it’s a viable business. Most importantly, working with Désirée has helped me to run and market my business better. I would recommend this service to a… Elizabeth ShephardLifeCity
