Meet Tom.

From the fast-paced world of finance to the stillness of global retreat stages, Tom Cronin bridges two seemingly opposing realms with quiet authority and lived insight.

With 26 years as a bond and swap broker, Tom understands the pressures of high-performance environments better than most. His turning point came not on a mountaintop, but in the midst of market chaos—when stress and anxiety led him to seek out meditation. What he discovered didn’t just restore his well-being—it transformed his trajectory.

That transformation became the foundation for The Stillness Project, a global movement encouraging people to reclaim calm, clarity, and conscious leadership through the simple act of daily stillness. Today, Tom guides individuals and organisations toward more grounded, intentional ways of working and living.

His work has earned the trust of global names—Amazon, Oracle, Harvard Business School, BCG, Coca-Cola, UBS and Qantas among them—and his voice has reached audiences at AFest, Wanderlust, the Adnews Summit, and beyond. Whether facilitating a corporate workshop or leading a retreat, Tom brings a rare mix of gravitas and grace, always meeting people where they are.

He is also the author of six books and the producer of The Portal, a cinematic exploration of human potential at the intersection of mindfulness and social change.

Tom’s philosophy is simple: when we slow down, we reconnect with ourselves, with each other, and with what truly matters.
