TGIM: Thank God It’s Monday offers leaders and professionals a practical roadmap to build energized cultures and love their work again.
LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, March 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — HR professionals Missy Forlani and Melisa Soydinc offer a practical framework for transforming workplace culture in their new book, “TGIM: Thank God It’s Monday: A Practical Guide to Loving Your Work, Your Life, and Every Day—Especially Monday!”
Published by Performance Publishing, an imprint of Advantage | The Authority Company, the book is now available through major national retailers.
In “TGIM,” Forlani and Soydinc confront a universal workplace reality: too many professionals spend Sunday nights dreading Monday morning. Drawing from decades of executive leadership experience in education, hospitality, corporate HR, and coaching, the authors present a research-backed and experience-driven guide for helping individuals and organizations rediscover meaning, energy, and alignment in their work.
“Are you wishing away one-seventh of your life?” the authors ask. “Mondays equal one-seventh of your existence. If you’re dreading them, you’re not just sacrificing productivity — you’re sacrificing presence.”
Structured as “Fourteen Mondays to a TGIM Life,” the book blends personal storytelling, leadership principles, and actionable tools designed for both individuals and senior leaders. Through candid accounts of career pivots, burnout, mentorship, executive leadership, and cultural transformation, Forlani and Soydinc show readers how to:
– Identify and operate within their “sweet spot”
– Navigate burnout and realign with purpose
– Build trust through courageous conversations
– Develop mentorship cultures that multiply talent=
– Foster high-performance environments rooted in accountability and care
While deeply personal in tone, “TGIM” also serves as a strategic playbook for HR leaders, executives, and organizations seeking to improve engagement, retention, and performance. The authors argue that thriving cultures are not built by accident; they are intentionally designed by leaders who prioritize clarity, feedback, mentorship, and aligned values.
Building on the philosophy introduced in the book, Forlani and Soydinc have launched Live TGIM, a growing community and leadership platform offering keynote speaking, executive coaching, and workshops designed to help companies implement the TGIM framework at scale.
“TGIM is not just about loving your job,” the authors write. “It’s about building a life and career you don’t need to escape from.”
With workplace burnout at record levels and employee disengagement costing organizations billions annually, TGIM provides leaders with a timely, practical blueprint for transforming culture from the inside out — one Monday at a time.
