Life continues to prove to be anything but stable. 2010 was a very difficult year for me and produced a dramatic transition in my life. In October 2010, I was introduced to John Eldredge’s book, Wild at Heart, by my friend and pastor, Kevin Joyce. Eldredge, with support of modern movies such as Gladiator and [...]

Deck The Halls Lyrics – Canadian Version
by Nan Palmero on Saturday, November 30, 2010 in humor
I searched high and low for a Canadian Christmas Caro(u)l. I didn’t find any, so I created one. Merry Christmas to my friends in the snow. I actually don’t know when Canadian Christmas happens, but I imagine it’s one month before ours. Deck the Halls with beaver pelts, Fa la la la la, la la [...]
The Humanity of a Marathon – San Antonio Rock N Roll Marathon
by Nan Palmero on Thursday, November 30, 2010 in Leadership, Life Insights, Making It Happen
On Sunday I experienced humanity in a way that I never had before by attending the Rock ‘n’ Roll San Antonio Marathon and Half-Marathon. The race was a great equalizer. The distance of the course doesn’t care about your age, race, health or anything else. As I stood at the finish line watching the runners [...]

by Nan Palmero on Tuesday, November 30, 2010 in Leadership
Steve and I sat down, via Skype, to talk about his new book Personality Poker.

Seeing Through People – Don’t Ignore High Performers
by Nan Palmero on Wednesday, November 30, 2010 in Leadership, Life Insights
At TEDxSanAntonio, my friend Alicia Arenas shared her story about being a glass child. As she described, a glass child is one that has a special needs sibling. Glass children aren’t named such because they’re fragile, instead, the parents look through them like glass and focus their efforts primarily on the special needs child instead. [...]
A Republic, If You Can Keep It. Go Vote.
by Nan Palmero on Tuesday, November 30, 2010 in Life Insights, Technology Tips
Whether or not you believe that corporations are ruining our government and destroying our existence, you should go vote. No voting = no complaining. Do your part. “Well, Doctor, what have we got—a Republic or a Monarchy?” “A Republic, if you can keep it.” The response is Benjamin Franklin’s when asked at the close of [...]
Perfection Paralysis
by Nan Palmero on Tuesday, October 31, 2010 in Leadership, Life Insights, Making It Happen
High achievers can get caught up in the perfection of their work. ”I don’t want to put my name on it unless it’s perfect.” Sound familiar? I’ve said it too. It’s easy to get paralyzed by perfection. You need the words to be just a little better in this email or you need the shot [...]
Can You See The Future?
by Nan Palmero on Wednesday, October 31, 2010 in Leadership, Life Insights
When you speak to one of your employees or coworkers, you have a choice. You know these people are growing, as we all are. You decide daily whether you recognize the people that you are speaking to as they are right now or as you know who they can and will be. Choosing to recognize [...]

by Nan Palmero on Tuesday, October 31, 2010 in Leadership, Life Insights
A Los Angeles police officer wrapped up a morning meeting where they were reminded on the importance of wearing their bulletproof vests. Everyone in the room nodded their head in agreement, understanding the importance of a bulletproof vest and how it can save your life. Later that day, one of the officers was called to [...]
Rerouting Your Life | Interview with Dave Peckens
by Nan Palmero on Tuesday, September 30, 2010 in Leadership, Life Insights, Making It Happen
I’m a lucky guy. People contact me regularly because they need someone to talk to about changing jobs. These are people from all walks of life – older, younger, educated and not, those with “dream jobs” and those looking for a better life. We sit down either face-to-face, via phone or Skype and talk about [...]
