How do you navigate stress and anxiety?

Tom Cronin began his career as one of Australia’s leading bond and swap brokers, but his hedonistic response to stress was unsustainable.

And when the anxiety and chaos he was experiencing led to a nervous breakdown, Tom discovered meditation as a tool for stress management.

Today, Tom is the Meditation Teacher and Leadership Coach behind The Stillness Project, a global movement to inspire one billion people to sit in stillness daily.

He is also the creator of a meditation app, coauthor of The Portal: How Meditation Can Save the World and producer of award-winning documentary The Portal.

On this episode of Leading Visionaries, Tom joins Anjel to describe how finding spirituality inspired his leadership journey and explain why his addictions melted away once he started a meditation practice.

Tom shares his vision for getting transcendental meditation techniques into the world and discusses how to create a business model that sustains your ability to pursue a spiritual vision.

Listen in to understand the danger in continuing our extraction model of consciousness and learn how meditation can help you curb the stress and chaos in your life!
