Episode Description
“What happens when leaders stop chasing results…and start pursuing peace of mind?”
In this powerful episode of the Find Your Leadership Confidence Podcast, host Vicki Noethling welcomes Deborah Coviello, known as The Drop in CEO™, to discuss how leaders can regain clarity, confidence, and calm in the midst of chaos.
Deb shares her remarkable journey from corporate leadership to becoming a trusted advisor helping C-Suite executives “lower the temperature” and elevate conversations with empathy, patience, and courage. Drawing from her books, The CEO’s Compass: Your Guide to Get Back on Track and The NEW CEO Playbook: Stop Chasing Results and Start Pursuing Peace of Mind, Deb explains why so many organizations quietly suffer from corporate destabilization, leadership burnout, feedback failures, and the hidden inability to truly coach employees.
Throughout the conversation, Deb reveals why not everyone is designed to be a high performer, the importance of corporate courage, and how leaders can recognize when it’s time to ask for help. She also shares three simple yet transformational words that can dramatically improve feedback conversations and leadership outcomes.
If you are a business owner, executive, entrepreneur, or emerging leader navigating uncertainty, pressure, or organizational change, this episode will inspire you to lead with greater calm, clarity, and confidence.
Some questions explored in this episode include:
• What inspired Deb to write The CEO’s Compass?
• Why is corporate destabilization the silent killer of organizations?
• Why do many executives struggle to coach employees effectively?
• What does corporate courage truly look like?
• How can leaders create healthier feedback conversations?
• Why should leaders pursue peace of mind instead of constantly chasing results?
This conversation is filled with wisdom, practical leadership insights, and empowering strategies to help leaders get back on track and lead with purpose.
The first chapter of Deborah’s book shows how much she understands the listener when they’re at a crossroad and knows they need to do something differently.
