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

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

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 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
