Is this enough? Finding Purpose, Confidence & the power of Pajamas

Is this enough? Finding Purpose, Confidence & the power of Pajamas Lucy Rowell 27:10

This week I share an insightful conversation I had with Genevieve Piturro. Genevieve is all about Purpose and The Human Connection. She was a successful television marketing executive 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 non-profit, Pajama Program.

This year, the Program celebrates its 22nd anniversary, having delivered more than 7 MILLION magical gifts of new pajamas and new books to children through its 42 chapters across the U.S.

Genevieve is now an inspirational speaker and purpose consultant inspiring individuals, groups, and companies to find their purpose & embrace the human connection for success.

Her first book, sharing life and leadership lessons she learned through her Pajama Program journey, is an Amazon best seller and the winner of five awards.

What you’ll hear about:

Finding your purpose
Taking a big leap in life around your purpose
Building a legacy
Gaining confidence to tell people about a change
