Who is Tom Cronin?
Tom Cronin is an Australian meditation teacher, transformational leadership coach, keynote speaker, bestselling author, and founder of The Stillness Project, a global movement dedicated to inspiring one billion people to meditate daily. Before finding his purpose in meditation, Tom spent 26 years in financial markets as one of Australia's leading bond and swap brokers. His fast-paced career eventually led to severe stress, anxiety, panic attacks, and burnout. After discovering Vedic meditation, he experienced a profound personal shift that inspired him to leave finance in 2012 and dedicate his life to helping others find inner peace, improve their well-being, and live with greater purpose.
Today, Tom works with individuals, business leaders, and major organizations, including Amazon, Coca-Cola, Qantas, and UBS, through meditation training, corporate workshops, coaching, and retreats. He is the author of six books and the producer and co-writer of The Portal, a documentary exploring how meditation can help people overcome personal challenges and create positive change. Through his Zen Academy mentorship program, Tom also supports wellness professionals and conscious entrepreneurs in growing purpose-driven businesses that make a meaningful difference in the world.
