At 44, Tom Eddington’s life changed completely. After bacterial meningitis left him bedridden for 18 months and forced him to rethink everything he knew about health, identity, and success, he began a journey into spirituality, consciousness, and what it truly means to be human.
In this episode of Spirituality in Leadership, Andrew Cohn speaks with Tom, a former global management consultant, filmmaker, and executive coach, about the experiences that reshaped his understanding of leadership, purpose, and human potential.
Tom shares lessons from his encounters with spiritual teachers, his work with leaders around the world, and his exploration of the five bodies: physical, energetic, psychological, social, and spiritual. Together, they explore how moments of crisis can become opportunities for transformation and deeper connection.
