“Purpose, Passion, and Pajamas: How to Transform Your Life, Embrace the Human Connection, and Lead with Meaning” (2020)
Purpose, Passion, and Pajamas is the story of Genevieve Piturro’s triumphant leap off the corporate ladder to find her life’s true calling. What started with a simple question from a little girl led Genevieve to conceive of and build the nonprofit Pajama Program in 2001, resulting in a featured appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show and an awe-inspiring display of compassion throughout the US and beyond. Today, Pajama Program has distributed over seven million pairs of pajamas, opened 63 chapters across the US, and established reading centers for children. In her inspirational narrative, Genevieve Piturro shows you how to • notice and listen to the quiet, internal voice nudging you in a new direction; • lead with empathy, passion, and purpose; • realize the importance of the human connection we’ve lost in our modern world. Purpose, Passion, and Pajamas brings you to the heart of the matter with eye-opening lessons in leadership, personal growth, and the tools and motivation to “find your pajamas.”
“Purpose, Passion, and Moxie: How to Lead the Way and Leave a Legacy: A Workbook to Help You Start a Nonprofit from Scratch to Success” (2023)
Purpose, Passion, and Moxie is Genevieve Piturro’s personal account of how to overcome fear, doubt, and limited resources to make the leap and set up a nonprofit when your heart is nudging you to take action. If you want to start a nonprofit, her purpose is to help you feel less alone in a complex world where you're looking for answers, guidance -- and most importantly -- support. Genevieve weaves personal stories together with lessons learned to help you meet challenges with faith, determination, and moxie. She includes links to resources with specific information on topics including documentation filing, legal requirements and financial issues. In Purpose, Passion, and Moxie, Genevieve illustrates how with purpose -- and a chain of events -- you can create a legacy only attributable to the magic of the human connection. Genevieve Piturro is a speaker, author, and consultant who inspires individuals, groups, and companies to power their purpose and launch their legacies. Genevieve was a successful television marketing executive until a sudden inner voice challenged her direction in 2001. As a result, she dramatically altered her life path, and went on to start the successful nonprofit organization, Pajama Program. Her first book, Purpose, Passion and Pajamas, was an Amazon bestseller, and recipient of the National Indie Excellence Award Winner in Inspiration, the 2022 Anthem Awards Bronze Winner in Humanitarian Action & Services, the 2021 New York City Big Book Awards Winner in Inspiration, and The Memoir Prize for Books.
