What do Genevieve Piturro, Mary Tyler Moore, and Oprah Winfrey have in common?
Aside from impeccable fashion style and passion for great shoes, each of these current day icons pushed through personal and professional challenges and past stereotypes, to change status quo and leave enduring, positive impact on many lives.
As a successful TV marketing exec, until an inner voice challenged her focus, Ms. Piturro found the answer to her true purpose in a simple question from a six-year-old girl, in an emergency shelter.
A true SHEro, she leapt from a corporate ladder to establish a national non-profit that delivers millions of new pajamas and children’s books to youth in distress.
Genevieve is the author of Amazon best seller; Purpose, Passion and Pajamas: How to Transform Your Life, Embrace the Human Connection and Lead with Meaning.
She has been featured on Hallmark’s Home & Family, Huckabee Show, OPRAH, TODAY, Good Morning America, The Early Show, CNN, Fox & Friends, O Magazine, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Parenting Magazine, and many others.
After 20 years leading the Pajama Program, Piturro expanded her impact with Purpose ACER programs, as she coaches leaders how to align culture and goals with human connection.
Genevieve Piturro, an in-demand speaker, is recognized as an authority on Purpose and The Human Connection. Her motivational talks inspire individuals to listen to their heart-voice and pursue their passions.
