Wall Street Journal Bestseller “Ignite Culture” Reveals Secret to Saving Your Company
The answer according to Margaret Graziano, one of Silicon Valley’s Top 100 Women Leaders, is to “ignite” your workplace to improve employee motivation and retention. Indeed, she has named her book “Ignite Culture” for this very reason.
Written for CEOs and other high-level executives, the book whose full title is “Ignite Culture: Empowering and Leading a Healthy, High-Performance Organization from the Inside Out” is being touted as the only way forward in these trying times.
This year has already seen massive layoffs in the tech sector, with over 30,000 jobs lost, and more are coming. However, Graziano and others see this as an opportunity to attract, hire, and retain top talent, the key to any business’s future.
“A healthy, human-centric culture is no longer a luxury; it’s an absolute requirement for any company seeking high-growth or breakthrough performance. It is the key to unlocking the potential of your people, who are the foundation of your company’s success,” Graziano writes.
“Ignite Culture” is divided into three sections. Section I focuses on the Leader, encouraging them to take a hard look at themselves and learn to pave the way for change; Section II focuses on the Leadership Team, talking about the importance of trust and dismantling roadblocks; Section III pulls back to the Organization and gives advice about how to make sure everyone is achieving at warp speed.
“What I’m proposing is a fundamentally different approach to creating a sustainable, high-performance organizational culture. It starts by igniting the human spirit at work, from the inside out, one human at a time,” she continues.
Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Marshall Goldsmith wrote the book’s Foreword, where he lavished praise on Ms. Graziano and her methods.
“Ignite Culture is the ultimate guide to becoming the leader and company that inspires others. Creating a culture that uplifts and empowers always starts with you,” he says.
“Ignite Culture: Empowering and Leading a Healthy, High-Performance Organization from the Inside Out” is available in eBook, paperback, and hardcover at all major online retailers, including Amazon.

Jayme Byrd has published a new book, "Secrets of Lissa," tracing a young girl’s path from childhood into adulthood through a mix of real memory and invented detail. The book is published through Page Publishing.
Byrd spent four decades working as a nurse, according to the announcement, alongside raising a family across multiple generations as a wife, mother and grandmother. That professional background, spent listening to patients and observing how people carry hardship, shapes the perspective behind the book, the announcement states.
The book’s own description, listed under fiction in Google Books’ catalog, frames it plainly: the story is based on true events, but names and characteristics of the people in it have been changed, and while the saddest scenes reflect reality, other scenes were, in the author’s words, "enhanced to make my life seem better than it was." The listing poses the same question Byrd raises in the press materials: if you wrote your own life story, wouldn’t you want it told with a little more color?
The narrative centers on a protagonist selectively choosing which historical moments to present faithfully and which to reshape or soften, and asking readers to sit with the difference. Byrd is quoted in the announcement saying she wanted to "honor my journey by telling it authentically while also giving myself permission to make it beautiful," adding that life is worth celebrating "even when—or especially when—we’re recounting the hardest parts."
"Secrets of Lissa" is listed for sale at bookstores and through the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry finds the premise more interesting than the average memoir-adjacent debut: a writer naming, in the text itself, exactly where she’s chosen to depart from what happened. That’s a more candid contract with the reader than most first-person narratives offer.
From the Editor — Harry Johal
"Stories are the way we make sense of our lives, and the way we make sense of other people’s lives." — Kazuo Ishiguro
I was sitting with my coffee this morning, half-listening to the radio, when something a guest had said months ago drifted back. About how we’re all editors of our own lives, whether we admit it or not.
Then Ishiguro’s words came to mind: "Stories are the way we make sense of our lives, and the way we make sense of other people’s lives."
And that’s exactly what Jayme Byrd is doing in "Secrets of Lissa."
Forty years as a nurse—that’s forty years of listening. Of watching people carry things they couldn’t put down. She knows how a life actually feels from the inside. The weight of it. And then she sits down to tell her own story and does something most people won’t: she names the line between what happened and what she chose to make beautiful.
That’s not dishonesty. That’s honesty about how memory works, how survival works. We don’t just remember our lives—we *live* them again through the telling. And Byrd’s saying: yes, the hardest parts are real. The saddest scenes happened. But over here, I softened this. Over here, I added color. And I’m telling you exactly where I did it.
Most memoirs pretend they’re pure record. Byrd is saying something braver: I’m making sense of my life, and I’m making sense of *myself* in the process. The real story isn’t whether every detail is factual. It’s what it costs to survive, and what we owe ourselves in the retelling.
That’s the quiet revolution in this book. Not the invention. The honesty about it.

Jana M. Castle has published a new children’s book, "Small Packages Big Impact," through Page Publishing, following a family led by a character named Jonathan on what the publisher describes as a mission marked by laughter, chaos and heartbreak.
According to publisher listings, the book is a 32-page paperback aimed at young readers, published in February 2026. It is also available as an eBook, with the eBook edition noted for enhanced typesetting intended to make longer reading sessions easier on the eyes.
The story follows Jonathan and his family through a series of emotional ups and downs, according to the announcement, with the narrative built around themes of surrender, faith and finding unexpected blessings in difficult circumstances. Castle has described her writing as motivated by a wish to share stories that "uplift, encourage, and draw readers closer to God," according to the release.
The author’s background is described in the announcement as rooted in Christian faith, which the publisher says shapes the book’s spiritual perspective throughout.
"Small Packages Big Impact" is available through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, the Apple iTunes Store and Google Play, as well as through Page Publishing directly.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, the detail worth noting here is the format: a faith-themed children’s book aimed at family reading, rather than the adult inspirational fiction that dominates most self-published faith titles crossing this desk.
