Testimonials

Désirée, you are a gem and I gathered so very much from our conversation. I’ll develop scripts to use those very words that you make sound so VERY EASY TO DELIVER in my marketing and sales messages. I’ve got my work cut out — but now that I’ve got this “heads up” I can chart out an action plan to move forward. Erness Wright-Irvin, MHAEWIHC Consulting, LLC

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

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

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

Your input on the TechAssistLA Review Committees has been a valuable part of creating a next step ‘action plan’ for the small businesses and non-profits in our grant program. Because of your work, we’ve been able to provide direct assistance to 60 businesses by helping them utilize technology to expand their markets and become more efficient. Tha… William Norris III, PMPTechAssistLA, Louisiana Technology Council

Of the total evaluation forms collected, everyone rated your program and your speaking either excellent or good. We got comments including, “As a business owner myself, this workshop was very useful; using live examples was a plus.” I can’t thank you enough for agreeing to speak to our group. I’m sure we will return to New Orleans in a few … Ruth LudemanDirectorAEAP

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

The first thing I would like to say is when you are meeting with Désirée she gives you 100% of herself. You don’t feel like she has some place else that she needs to be but with you. To me that means a lot since the world we live in is so fast pace and all about multi-tasking. She is so right when she describes the business as a forward-thinking bu… Kathy RobinsonDragonfly Arrangements

Désirée has been an invaluable resource for my business. She has worked with me on improving my brand and marketing strategies. I would recommend Désirée to any small business that is looking for someone who is an expert in this field and would like to get out-of- the-box results. Désirée genuinely cares about her clients and the quality of h… Sandra OlmedoBilingual Resources Group
