FAILING TO WIN: A Blog, A Book, A Life

by Jean Krisle, CEO/Founder, 10,000 Beds, Inc.

I hope these words will remind leaders, mentors, persons in recovery, and all who visit that failure often leads to success, and winning isn’t everything. My goal is to inspire hope, promote excellence, infuse confidence, and improve outcomes.
Failing to win is nothing to be ashamed of, no matter how you look at it.
