in 6 people aged 35 – 54 are unhappy with their career - and with the leaders of the organizations they work for. “If this is the next 30 years of my life, is this enough?” Piturro asked herself in 2001 at the height of a very successful marketing career in New York City. A voice that she now calls the heart-voice connection told her, “No.”

Gen’s journey has taken her from a little girl’s question in a homeless shelter to OPRAH to boardrooms & stages across America. An int’l speaker & consultant, she inspires individuals/groups/companies on the topics: purpose, human connection, and legacy. She was a successful TV marketing exec until a sudden inner voice challenged her direction & she dramatically altered her path. She found her purpose when a question from a 6-year-old girl in a shelter changed everything. In 2001, she jumped off the corp ladder and founded the successful nat’l Pajama Program, now celebrating 23 yrs having delivered 8 million pajamas & books to date.

in 2000 she passed the baton of Executive Director and is now a keynote speaker, author and consultant. In her keynotes, presentations and work with leaders, Genevieve shares life/leadership lessons from her 6x award winning best seller, Purpose, Passion, and Pajamas: How to Transform Your Life, Embrace the Human Connection and Lead with Meaning. Understanding how vital Purpose and The Human Connection are in leadership, team building, and the bottom line. Genevieve’s second book, Purpose, Passion and Moxie: How to Lead the Way and Leave a Legacy, is a workbook to help you start a nonprofit from scratch to success (Sept 2023).

"We often hear, "look how the power of one changes things..." but I know it isn’t isn't one person or even one idea, it’s the power of one-ANOTHER that moves mountains and moves people,” says Genevieve Piturro, founder of the successful national nonprofit Pajama Program and author of the new popular memoir, Purpose, Passion & Pajamas: How to Transform Your Life, Embrace the Human Connection, and Lead with Meaning.

Piturro’s raw honesty of admitting to unmindful direction, internal struggles and self-realizations is resonating with so many who have to pivot business strategies, find new careers and battle internal struggles about what their purpose is.
