What if the greatest measure of success isn’t wealth or status, but the courage to keep showing up, no matter what life throws your way?
In this episode of the Dare to Declare Podcast, Debbi sits down with Tom LeNoble, executive leader, international speaker, resilience coach, and philanthropist, to explore how resilience, reinvention, and purpose can redefine what it means to truly live.
Tom’s remarkable career has spanned Fortune 500 powerhouses like MCI, Walmart.com, Palm (HP), and Facebook (Meta), as well as high-Growth startups.
But behind the titles and boardrooms is a man who’s faced down three terminal diagnoses and lived to tell the world, “I’m still here.”
Together, Debbi and Tom dive deep into:
• The mindset that helped him transform survival into purpose.
• How his near-death experiences shaped his mission to give back.
• The lessons learned from working alongside some of the world’s biggest brands, and why he walked away to serve others.
• The power of Philanthropy, not as charity, but as a way of living.
• What it really means to lead with empathy and vision in today’s world.
From global boardrooms to acts of quiet generosity, Tom’s journey is proof that true leadership begins with presence, service, and heart.
His book, My Life in Business Suits, Hospital Gowns, and High Heels, captures the humor, humility, and hard-won Wisdom behind his extraordinary story.
If you’ve ever faced a setback that made you question your purpose, or wondered what it means to live a life of impact, this conversation will leave you inspired to declare, just like Tom, “I’m still here.”
