Genevieve's Story: A Little Girl, a Purpose, and a Legacy
I was a successful and single television marketing executive in New York City when my life changed forever. One afternoon while sitting alone in my living room, I heard my inner voice quietly, yet clearly, ask me: “If this is the next thirty years of your life, is this enough?”
​
I was stunned. And in a millisecond, I knew what was missing - children.
​
I started to read to children in an emergency shelter in the evenings, and one night after story time, I followed them to the “bedroom.” The children slowly climbed onto couches and futons. Some were crying as the caregivers tried to comfort them. There were no hugs from moms or dads, no snacks, whispers, or prayers. There was no changing of their clothes from the tight or soiled clothing they arrived in. I knew this was not at all how bedtime was supposed to be for a child and the words that tumbled out of my mouth surprised me, “Can I bring the children pajamas?” The following week I did, and a little girl’s question rocked my world. The life and leadership lessons I learned over the next 24 years are what I now teach and share in my presentations.
I took a leap of faith, left my life as I knew it, and Pajama Program was born. Going from corporate executive to founder/entrepreneur was not easy, but after much fear and doubt, thousands of sleepless nights, and tears that could fill the Atlantic, I overcame challenges I thought would ruin everything. I met each turn with faith, determination, and moxie. When I found my purpose, a chain of events that followed met the unbridled power of The Human Connection. Our voice was heard and a legacy was launched.
Now I want to inspire you to lead with Purpose, embrace The Human Connection and Become a Voice that Moves the World.
So ... if this is the next 30 years of your life,
is this enough?
