[FR] From Monastery to Television: The Journey of Hermès Garanger

Podcast summary
Meditation, Neuroscience, and Spiritual Leadership
In this episode of the Positive Leadership Podcast, I have the pleasure of welcoming Hermès Garanger: a Lama, speaker, author, and television producer.
At only 19 years old, she became the youngest Western female Lama after a spiritual retreat of over 1,000 days. Since then, she has dedicated more than 30,000 hours to meditation and over 25 years to a career in media, successfully combining two worlds: spirituality and television production.
We talk together about her unique path, the lessons learned from her research in neuroscience, and how she integrates meditation into companies to transform wellbeing, stress management, and collective performance. Hermès also shares her vision of the role of women in society, the balance between spiritual and professional life, and the future of meditation in our modern societies.
