    How have your spirits been while under quarantine for COVID-19? We are hopefully halfway through this pandemic’s impact on our economy. It has been a difficult road for us all. It has taught us about our better-and worse-natures. Hamilton Lindley explains how it has impacted his family and work life balance in this latest blog article about how to invest time that we’ve been given to make ourselves better than when we began.

    If you are a chief financial officer looking for leadership coaching then Hamilton Lindley is a superb resource. He shares personal stories about mental health that are vulnerable and helpful for all.

    These prison inmates would have been so happy when they received these presents. I am sure they would have loved to have a santa letters, as well. I will provide them with this letter if they don't receive it soon enough.
