In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the great pleasure of speaking with Deborah Coviello, author of The CEO’s Compass: Your Guide to Get Back on Track, to talk about what it really means to be a CEO. Deborah explains the power of shifting from a results-driven mindset to one that prioritizes peace of mind. We discuss how that change of thought can lead to better leadership and long-term success. We also talk about balancing logic with intuition, learning from past experiences, and why true leadership is more than just chasing results. This episode will help anyone who has struggled with feeling overwhelmed or uncertain about being a CEO to  find clarity and confidence in their role as a leader.

Known as The Drop In CEOTM, Deb’s superpower is lowering the temperature and elevating conversations with empathy and patience. As a speaker, author, podcaster, and consultant, she teaches C-Suite leaders how to establish a “Lift, Light, Lead” environment and create calm amidst chaos or crisis. She is the author of “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.” Her long-running podcast, The Drop-In CEO, is in the top 1.5% globally among Apple podcasts.

Intentionally Disturbing

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
