Thomas Hübl: founder of the Academy of Inner Science

Leadership 2050

In episode 6, Andrew talks to modern mystic Thomas Hübl about the business benefits of personal spiritual work and trauma-informed leadership.

Thomas Hübl is a renowned teacher and author whose work integrates ancient wisdom with the discoveries of science. He is the founder of the Academy of Inner Science, which studies the principles of human inner development. Since 2004, he has taught and facilitated programmes with more than 100,000 people worldwide.

He is at the forefront of bringing spiritual practices and teaching to the business world to revolutionise leadership. Trauma-informed leadership, believes Thomas, makes organisations more resilient, supportive, effective and less damaging to people and the planet. It’s a new way of doing business that puts moral values at the heart of a company’s work.

“Leaders can have a healing effect on their organisation,” says Thomas.

Originally a paramedic for nine years and a student of medicine for four, Thomas left his studies at the University of Vienna to spend four years on retreat, leading to a new path teaching meditation and mindfulness-based practices. Opening dialogue around some of the most painful atrocities and collective traumas our world has experienced is at the heart of Thomas’s work. His non-profit, the Pocket Project, works to support the healing of collective trauma throughout the world.
