Who is Social Coach Desiree?

I am Desiree Rose. I am a mother of two beautiful boys and wife to an amazing man. By nature, because my father and #1 role model instilled it into me, I have both a go-getter and a “sharing is caring” attitude in life. I graduated college with honors and a bachelor’s degree in three years. Throughout my work career, I have been a government contractor in charge of developing web-based training programs for the U.S. military and I have also owned two companies. All this came to an abrupt halt seven years ago when we learned that my youngest son had a rare disease in which he was allergic to a multitude of foods, and over the course of those seven years has required in excess of 20 surgeries. It was then, after being in the workforce for many years, I decided that my time spent with my family was far more important than the grind of a 40-60-hour-a-week job. My husband was comfortably supporting us at the time so we were lucky in that respect and it gave me the opportunity I needed to devote 100% of my time and attention to the things in life that mattered the most to me – my family

While devoting all of my time to my family and fulfilling the day-to-day activities of school, homework, cleaning, cooking, etc., my love bucket was constantly being filled however my sense of value bucket was being drained. I was still, and will always be, a go-getter at heart and I decided that I could kill all kinds of birds with one stone. I joined The Pampered Chef with the #1 purpose of cooking for and feeding my family safe foods that they could eat, and secondly, to gain some sense of accomplishment and value for myself by earning a few dollars here and there. Things went better than I ever could have imagined in my first year as a direct sales consultant as I was able to both prepare amazing meals for my family and ensure their health as well as earning enough money to pay for family vacations, holidays, and even the occasional mortgage payment. My sense of value and empowerment was returning, however, I also found myself spending more time away from home doing cooking shows, vendor events and other things of that nature. Soon there was an unbalance once again. I was happy in what I was doing for myself and my family, but it was getting to the point where my husband would get home from work and mommy would go to work. Not a proper balance.

I soon decided I wanted both the sense of value as well as my time back to devote to my family and cater to my son’s needs. But how can you have both?? Well, it was then I learned how to unleash the power of social media marketing in my business. In less than six months, I went from doing 90% of my business in other locations, to doing 90% of my business online. In no time, I was actually increasing my sales and recruiting to the point I was earning excellence in both in the company. I could now do far less work from literally anywhere and my business continued to thrive. I was soon asked to speak at many events to train others on how to effectively incorporate social media into their businesses. Remember, sharing is caring to me and if I ever have opportunities to help others excel in what they love while freeing up time to devote to their families, I do not hesitate.

I have since become Social Coach Desiree. My #1 goal in life is to help others succeed beyond their wildest dreams.
