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 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

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, 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

Désirée has been an invaluable resource for my business. She has worked with me on improving my brand and marketing strategies.

Désirée genuinely cares about her clients and the quality of h… Sandra OlmedoBilingual Resources Group

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 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

I’ve been lucky to sit in on several of Desiree’s Marketing training classes but I never imagined how insightful it would be to have a one-on-one training with her. After completing an assessment before our session she was very prepared to discuss Phat Pheet’s personal needs and challenges. Desiree gave me an overwhelming amount of great informatio… Erica DoucetPhat Pheet
