Below are two overviews of Debbie - her Personal and Professional backgrounds.
PERSONAL PORTRAIT:
Statistically, Debbie should not have been successful!
As a child, she moved constantly as her daddy worked in the oilfields and they followed the work.
Debbie quickly learned that she needed to be assertive in making friends as she knew she would soon move on to a new school.
Thus, Debbie never meets a stranger today.
Debbie married early with her high school sweetheart.
Both she and her husband Phil worked two and three jobs to put themselves through college. (Debbie even drove a school bus)
As the parents of two children Tawny & Alan they worked hard to provide a loving, stable home environment.
Their children spent many a day at school as their parents prepared lessons and school displays for the students.
When Debbie transitioned from education she found a new love in Social Media as it was the ideal environment to build new relationships.
Debbie credits her background in education and her love of meeting people as why she has been successful in the Digital world.
Today, Debbie & Phil live in North Texas on her daughter and son-in-laws property which they fondly call The Compound!
PROFESSIONAL PORTRAIT:
Debbie Saviano labels herself a Digital Nomad having embarked on this adventure 12 years ago.
Debbie transitioned from education where she was a school principal of five different campuses (from Kindergarten to High School) to the world of Social Media.
Debbie recognized the power of digital space and spent over two years fully immersed in learning everything she could about Social Media - not knowing the Why!
However, as it often happens, Debbie's new career was formed when others started reaching out to hire her to redesign their LinkedIn Profiles.
This path lead to several years of Debbie creating and redesigning professionals LinkedIn Profiles.
Due to her years of educational leadership along with her success in Social Media, Debbie became a successful Speaker on Why & How To Use Social Media and has spoken across the United States, Africa, England, Canada & France.
Debbie fondly jokes that her age was a huge benefit as CEOs and HR Professionals knew that it was easy to have a much younger person speak to their employees but Debbie had the background and the educational experience to connect with employees who might not be interested OR see the benefits of Social Media. (Remember this was at the beginning of the Social Media movement).
It was when Debbie was Speaking in Boston that she met her former partner Stacey Schieffelin who hired Debbie to redesign her LinkedIn Profile.
Stacey invited Debbie to be on HSN with her to showcase her ybf Beauty Brand where they became fast friends.
Debbie & Stacey wanted to do something for women at which time they went to Linda McMahon who Stacey had supported in her quest for Senate in CT to discuss their idea!
Linda, Stacey and Debbie founded Women's Leadership LIVE where for 7 years the focus was on helping women entrepreneurs in their businesses.
At the beginning of 2022, Debbie returned to her roots of Education and Social Media by creating a variety of Courses to help others in accepting and embracing Social Media.
Debbie is passionate about the power of Social Media and continues to guide others on How to Best Utilize - whereby, they can showcase WHY THEM!
