Genevieve Piturro/The Human Connection Speaker

Genevieve was a successful television marketing executive in New York City until a sudden inner voice challenged her direction and she dramatically altered the path of her life. She found her true purpose when a simple question from a six-year-old girl in an emergency shelter changed everything. In 2001, she jumped off the corporate ladder and founded the hugely successful national nonprofit, Pajama Program, this year celebrating 25 years with a new name and expanded purpose, "Beyond Bedtime." To date the organization has delivered more than nine (9) million pajamas and books through its 40 chapters around the U.S. After 20 years as Executive Director, Genevieve passed the ED baton and created the Purpose ACER training program, and 12 Masterclasses, all focused on management excellence and team building. She has produced and hosted two national Purpose Summits in New York. Genevieve’s first book, Purpose, Passion and Pajamas, How to Transform Your Life, Embrace the Human Connection and Lead with Meaning, is an Amazon bestseller and winner of 7 awards. This book lives in the Forbes Executive Library. The book’s message and Heart of the Matter life and leadership lessons after every chapter dovetail perfectly with our Nation’s growing interest in finding purpose and rekindling our human connection. Her TEDx talk: “1 Idea + The Human Connection = 7 million Pajamas” debuted with this book. Her 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. Book #3 is in the works! Today Genevieve teaches, speaks, and writes on how to Stop Bossing. Start Loving. because the world needs leaders who put people first. Her newsletter, Leading with Love - Tips from a Friend, offers heart-centered guidance designed to support modern leadership journeys. In her presentation, Genevieve guides her audience in embracing four universal truths that ignite movements and build a lasting legacy through their impact on others.
