December 7, 2020 By Désirée Young Leave a Comment

It’s a brand new world…of pitching that is. On one hand, the idea of meeting someone in an elevator is less likely (I’m not sure if it ever was likely).

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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 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’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
