Developing Social Purpose with Peggie Pelosi

Listen Later

Happy Monday, Let's Talk Sales listeners! This week's featured guest is Peggie Pelosi.

Peggie Pelosi wears many hats.

As the Founder and CEO of Orenda Connections, she helps companies discover their purpose and weaves that purpose into the fabric of their corporate culture. She is also the Executive Director of Innovators Alliance, and an Independent Director on the Board of Directors of Usana Health Sciences, where she serves on the Governance and Nominating, Audit and Compensation Committees, and leads the Boards oversight of ESG.

Needless to say, Peggie is a very impressive person and our conversation was quite thought-provoking. We're excited to finally release the episode, and hope you too feel inspired to consider the purpose of your business or the businesses you interact with.
