Tom LeNoble
My Life in Business Suits, Hospital Gowns, and High Heels: In Control, Being Controlled, Out of Control!
Risk. Resilience. Reinvention.
Tom LeNoble’s life has been anything but ordinary, rising from the “Shack” with no hot water to the heights of Silicon Valley, and helping build some of the world’s most influential companies. He’s been a crowd-favorite performer, a bold leader, and a survivor of two life-threatening illnesses after being told three times he had six months to live. He’s navigated the AIDS epidemic’s heartbreak, personal loss, and the high-stakes world of Facebook, Walmart.com, Palm (HP), and MCI (Verizon), guiding startups and leaders through change.
In My Life in Business Suits, Hospital Gowns, and High Heels, Tom shares unflinching lessons on living fully, leading boldly, and loving fiercely. With candor and wit, he proves that no matter the storms you face, resilience is possible—and reinvention is always within reach.
