Learning about life, one lesson at a time. You Tell Yourself Stories. Make Sure They’re The Right Ones. A couple of weeks ago, I published a post on LinkedIn. About the stories you tell yourself.

Growth for them almost exclusively means increasing their size. But for smaller companies, or individual people, the most important growth comes from getting better.

Learning about life, one lesson at a time. Is Supermax Prison Worse Than Death? I read an article on NBC News this morning: Boston Bomber Tsarnaev Faces Prison Hell if He Escapes Execution.

Learning about life, one lesson at a time. Author Archives: Jeff Krimmel. Empower Yourself. Don’t Flatter Yourself. I published a post on LinkedIn. Earlier this week. It’s about story-telling.
