From Awakening to Awareness: Exploring the Seven States of Consciousness with Tom Cronin

Today, Michael welcomes Tom Cronin. Tom is a keynote speaker, coach, meditation teacher, author, and founder of The Stillness Project, a global movement to inspire one billion people to sit in stillness daily. Tom spent 26 years in finance markets as one of Australia's leading bond and swap brokers. When the anxiety and chaos he was experiencing hit a crisis point, Tom's long-time meditation practice completely transformed his world, both personally and professionally. Tom does transformational leadership coaching and corporate training at many top companies and has spoken at conferences and events like Adnews Summit, Afest, Wanderlust, and Mind Heart Connect. Tom has published six books, including Faster Deeper Calm, and produced the hit film, The Portal.  Highlights from Tom and Michael's conversation include: -How Tom pivoted from the world of finance to founding The Stillness Project -What is Conscious Leadership -The Seven States of Consciousness and how we can access and identify them to deepen our meditation practice -How Unity Consciousness can support humanity as a whole -Tom's book–Faster Deeper Calm–and what the title means; how The Secret inspired him to make his film, The Portal; and much more!
