I’m excited to share some news with you! My book, Culture Secrets: Secrets Leaders Use to Build a V.A.L.U.E. Culture, has been featured in The Hollywood Magazine’s prestigious article, “2025’s Ultimate Book List: The Reads You Can’t Miss.” This honor is not only deeply humbling but also a testament to the importance of creating people-centered workplace cultures.

This recognition comes at a pivotal time when businesses are navigating dynamic shifts in how we work and lead. The inclusion of Culture Secrets in this distinguished list highlights that more and more leaders are prioritizing workplace culture as a cornerstone of organizational success.

Why Culture Secrets Matters

At its heart, Culture Secrets introduces the V.A.L.U.E. formula:

  • Vision
  • Accountability
  • Leadership
  • Uniqueness of Your People
  • Engagement

This framework helps leaders create thriving workplaces by focusing on building a culture where every employee feels valued and empowered. Each element of the formula is designed to address specific challenges leaders face today, from maintaining engagement in hybrid teams to fostering accountability in fast-paced environments.

The fact that Culture Secrets resonates with so many underscores its relevance for 2025 and beyond. As organizations plan their goals and strategies for the new year, now is the perfect time to reflect on how culture can be a catalyst for innovation, retention, and long-term success.

Why 2025 Is a Critical Year for Leaders

The future of work is evolving rapidly. By 2025, experts predict that organizations that fail to adapt to people-first practices will struggle to compete. Employees are seeking more than just a paycheck—they want purpose, connection, and a workplace that values their contributions.

Culture Secrets equips leaders with actionable tools to meet these expectations. It empowers them to cultivate environments where employees aren’t just surviving but thriving. When individuals feel valued, they perform at their best, and the entire organization benefits.

This recognition from The Hollywood Magazine couldn’t have come at a better time. It serves as a reminder that the work we do to build better workplaces isn’t just important—it’s essential.

Starting the Journey Today

As we prepare to enter 2025, now is the time to start thinking about your team’s culture and goals for the future. Ask yourself:

  • Are your employees engaged and motivated?
  • Does your leadership approach inspire trust and collaboration?
  • Is your culture aligned with the values of your organization?

If you’re unsure about any of these questions, Culture Secrets can help you find clarity. The strategies in the book aren’t just theoretical—they’re based on real-world experiences and interviews with leaders who have successfully transformed their organizations.

Gratitude and Looking Ahead

This honor wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my readers, colleagues, and the incredible leaders I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. I’m so grateful to be part of a community that values growth, innovation, and the power of culture.

As we approach 2025, my mission remains the same: to help leaders create workplaces where people and businesses thrive. Thank you for being part of this journey, and here’s to building a brighter future together!
