After conferring about this for a while, the two nuns decide to lock the door of the room, strip off their habits, and paint in the nude.

The Coaching and Leadership Journal saw a renewal rate of 80 % for 2018. Here is what founder and editor Dan Spainhour said,  "I am so very proud of our Journal. It is especially gratifying to watch our journal grow. When we launched seven years ago there was so much speculation that subscription-based print journals were dead.
