Deb Coviello is an introvert who likes to talk. As a child, she often wanted to express herself and enjoyed participating in activities such as the school play. Deb was a good student and even skipped fifth grade, heading straight into middle school. Yet, throughout her early years and even into her professional career life, Deb found that teachers, bosses, and others did not always want her to speak, so there were periods of time when she would clam up. This created misperceptions of her abilities. Teachers assessed she was not too bright and bosses perceived she was not aligned with the team. In college, Deb found a zone where she could offer her voice and became a natural leader. She studied biomedical engineering (at a school her guidance counselor told her she would not be able to get admitted to!) and upon graduation entered a manufacturing management development program with her first employer. From there she built a 30 plus year career in strategy, quality and operational excellence roles, primarily in the flavors and fragrance industry. Today, Deb has struck out on her own as an advisor, author, podcast host, and founder of Illumination Partners, a consulting firm for CEOs navigating change. A trusted partner to C-suite leaders, Deb supports her clients as they work together to identify, assess and solve the issues that may be preventing their business growth. Deb has developed powerful programs devoted to helping CEOs identify emerging leaders. She hosts a weekly show, The Drop-In CEO Podcast . And she is the author of the book, The CEO's Compass, Your Guide to Get Back on Track. In this week's Work From The Inside Out podcast, learn more about Deb's journey: Deb is certified as a Lean and Six Sigma Black Belt in process improvement. She is a board member of Women in Flavor and Fragrance Commerce. Deb is an avid curler with the Cincinnati curling club and won a silver medal in a national tournament.

Core values are the foundation and serve to guide our intentional work legacy journey. Deb's core values are personal: family first, the healthy living habits of sleep and eating well, and attention to relationships; and externally, having the back of people in your community. The pandemic has emphasized how important these values are.Deb has taken her own lessons and corporate experiences – good and bad - without mentors, and added research to help aspiring and emerging leaders accelerate their career tracks and go beyond their “potential.”In her Quality and Operational Excellence roles in the Flavors and Fragrance industry, she had many challenges as she worked very hard but lacked the opportunities she wanted to prove the potential she was told she had. She didn't want to see others struggle without support on their career paths. So she views her legacy as serving the leaders of tomorrow with a support system tailored to them and to point out blind spots. She has recently developed the Drop-In CEO Academy as a mechanism toward that end.The roles at any level according to Deb are to provide opportunities for mentoring, strong customer service, and close the gaps, including the disconnects caused by pandemic work conditions in new and old ways. This all starts with good conversations. Her legacy journey to impact more people and keep the needed conversations going forward includes putting herself out on social media with her messages more frequently and consistently and to provide expanded mentoring.TakeawaysFind someone to support you and have a few conversations. Then have some more.Invest in your professional development and growth and start by doing one thing differently.Confidence and mindset lead to greater visibility.Take back some time for yourself to avoid burnout. (Deb did that with the sport of curling to develop more strength and teamwork.)Quotes“You have the power to take control.Message to CEOs: “People are the greatest tool in your toolbox.”BioDr. Deborah Coviello is an advisor, author, podcast host, “Drop-In CEO and Founder of Illumination Partners, a consulting firm for CEO's navigating change.

Welcome to Episode 176 of Building My Legacy.In this podcast we talk with management consultant and leadership coach Deb Coviello, who, for more than 25 years, has helped transform businesses from within, elevating the talents of their organizations to new performance levels. Having worked as an engineer in quality and operational excellence in manufacturing environments, Deb took the leap to form her own company, Illumination Partners, which works particularly with the CEOs of medium-sized manufacturers that are going through significant changes. Deb's discussion with us is especially timely as we look at what many experts predict will be a tremendous talent shift. As things stabilize, it's estimated that between 40 and 70 percent of employees will look for a new job. Deb believes that, to prevent a tremendous turnover in your business, you need to recognize that people are the “greatest tool in your toolbox” and, by getting back on track to your “true North,” you can create a shared vision with your employees.
