Why Can’t Everyone Be a High Performer? with Deborah Coviello

In today’s Live with Bottleneck, Deborah Coviello tells us why not all people can be high performers in their business.

Deborah Coviello is the author of a new book called The CEO’s Compass: Your guide to get back on track. She has a long career in assisting clients and business owners in identifying, assessing and solving the issues that are preventing their business’ growth.

So if you want to learn how you can become a high performer, stay tuned to this episode.

Who is Deborah Coviello?

Deborah Coviello is the founder of Illumination Partners, LLC and the host of The Drop In CEO podcast. For more than 20 years, she has been transforming businesses from within, elevating the talents of their organizations to new performance levels.

Prior to being the Drop In CEO, Deborah was in the manufacturing and operations, and a biomedical engineer in training. She then moved to quality control, and made sure that they only shipped good product to their customers.

The Drop In CEO

Deborah explains her role as an initiator in the business that may be having issues with rapid growth, scaling up to higher grounds. She does so with her years of experience consulting for business leaders and entrepreneurs in guiding their business to achieve greater heights.  

“As the Drop In CEO, we drop into businesses and partner with C-suite business leaders who are going through some kind of rapid transformation. We partner together and solve that business problem using my expertise. I have a database of people I bring in, but ultimately it’s all to elevate the capability of your people.” – Deborah Coviello

According to Deborah, that last part is really important. Because once the Drop In CEO program ends, the people in your company will have to maintain the quality they have achieved. In the end, no matter how good a development program is, it is useless if the people inside do not commit to the improvements that were implemented.

Deborah Coviello on Why Can’t Everyone be a High Performer

Deborah then talks about her new book, The CEO’s Compass. She shares that while most business owners and entrepreneurs have an objective and goals they aim to achieve, there are situations that suddenly knock us out of course. It is important then that the leader is right and clear in what they are trying to do.

While most business leaders have their “compass” to guide them to the right path, Deborah has 7 guidelines she follows that a combination of which will always point to true north.

Yet while she shares her thoughts regularly on platforms like LinkedIn for her fellow professionals, much remained skeptical. There were some that could not see a clear picture of what Deborah has to say, and there were some who were interested in her methods of achieving such a feat.  

So Deborah decided on writing her book, so as to share her thoughts and expertise into one cohesive “compass” that encompasses all her guidelines and expertise on how to take a business to the next level.

I started last March 24, 2021 as a Dedicated Distant Assistant and it was an awesome experience. In this new journey, as Security Administrator of Bottleneck Distant Assistants, I have been supported by the team, A LOT !!!! All help that I need, the whole team is there to support me. I know that there are a lot of room for improvements with my skills and what I know, but because of BNDA, I became equipped with all the weapons I need to conquer the daily challenges especially with my tasks. With BNDA, they will not just help you to aim high, but soar the skies!

What an awesome business! Finally, a way to hire the RIGHT person for my administrative tasks and they are remote! No office space to consider, W2's, 1099's or payroll. Jaime and his team of remote workers are top-notch! I hired my first assistant in May. I recently suffered a motorcycle accident and it left me unable to work for 2 weeks. But my assistant stepped right in to guide our CEO on all matters financial. It’s so nice to have that stress eliminated from my life!
