Genevieve was a TV executive in NYC for 20 years when a little girl’s question changed the course of her life - and she jumped off the corporate ladder. She began delivering pajamas and books to children in shelters and in 2001 founded Pajama Program, a national non-profit which is recognized for both its success – to date having delivered 7 million new pajamas and new books to children - and Genevieve’s story. Genevieve is a professional speaker and consultant, inspiring people to listen to their heart-voice connection to achieve success. Her first book: Purpose, Passion and Pajamas: How to Transform Your Life, Embrace the Human Connection and Lead with Meaning, was just released on August 4th. Genevieve has been interviewed on various media including OPRAH, TODAY, GMA, CNN, Fox & Friends, O Magazine and Forbes and is the recipient of many awards.

Most biographies for speakers are full of credentials, awards, accomplishments, and other unexciting information. Let's say this for now: Everything in life is Powered By Connection. And Connection is Ginger's Jam. It's the art, science, and energy that makes the world go 'round. She works with great executives, associations, organizations, leaders and teams to help them do their best work by tapping into the incredible possibilities meaningful connection creates, most especially At The Table.
