Heart + Soul with Ellen Newhouse

Inspiring Others to Erase the Disruptive Chatter with Medicine On A Page


Listen Later

At age 46, and after working for 25 years in sales for the same company, Bruce Pulver was part of a mass layoff altogether with other 500 employees. As he was the sole provider for his family, it was a devastating blow; he saw his path, his career, and his retirement plan shattered in a second. That was his wake-up call, his BAM moment, as he calls it. 


His father's love for words and his mother's gratitude and passion for life helped him take the first step into his new journey, a journey that would start with a word, an acronym: STRONG. Stand Tall, Remain Optimistic, Now Go for it. 


Bruce Pulver is an Author, Professional Speaker, and Entrepreneur. He is a Strategic Project Driver for Key Corporate Initiatives at Firstsource, the author of "Above the Chatter, Our Words Matter," and the creator of WORDshop. This program teaches high-performing executives and organizations skills to maximize results by leveraging the power of their words.


In this episode, Bruce shared his inspiring story full of nuggets of immense wisdom. We talked about how he turned inspiration into a lifestyle and a particular yet intentional way of helping others. Bruce's passion for words and their meanings made this conversation a constant invitation to reflect on what and how we talk to others and, most importantly, to ourselves.
