The Thriving Coaches Podcast

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com --- Two months. Over 200,000 views. And one realisation that caught me off guard. In this masterclass - Visibility From Zilch: Two Months In - I share everything I've discovered since starting my visibility experiment with Andrea. The barrier that stops most coaches, therapists and changeworkers from getting their message out into the world isn't technical. It's not the algorithm, the platform, or the app. It's something far more subtle. I cover what these two months have revealed, the window of opportunity that's open right now (and won't be forever), and a live coaching demo I think will land for a lot of people. Big love, Jamie

Right now, there's a window open that I don't think will stay open very long. For people with a message to share or gifts they're called to give, this moment in time is unlike any that's come before. But it's not going to last. In this video, I share what two months of running my Visibility from Zero experiment with Andrea has revealed - including a result last week I genuinely didn't expect. Big love, Jamie P.S. If this lands with you, I'm running a free Masterclass next week called Visibility From Zilch: Two Months In. I'll go deeper into what we've discovered and what's actually keeping most coaches, therapists and changeworkers from getting visible right now. Wednesday 20 May, 7:30pm UK.

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com Two years ago, I ran my first masterclass on AI and the future of coaching. Some of what I said back then sounded a bit "out there". This week, Forbes published a piece of research that confirmed pretty much everything I'd predicted - including the part most coaches don't want to hear. In this conversation with Andrea, I unpack what the research actually says, what it means for anyone who coaches for a living, and why I think one of the biggest issues facing society right now - the loneliness epidemic - is going to play a much bigger role in this story than most people realise. Big love,  Jamie

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com --- When I started my first business 26 years ago, I didn't really know what I was doing. No deep marketing plan. No bulletproof strategy. No idea if any of it would work. But I had a few things that turned out to matter more than I realised at the time - and looking back now, I can see how much of what came next grew out of a handful of decisions I made in those early days. In this conversation with Andrea, I share the story of how it all started, how it connects with the visibility experiment I'm running right now, and the one thing I wish someone had told me at the beginning. Big love,  Jamie

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com If you've been following me for a while, you've probably seen a lot of things I've done that have worked. But there's a good chance you haven't noticed the ones that didn't. In this clip from my Visibility from Zero masterclass, I pull back the curtain on something most people never talk about - and it might change how you think about getting started with anything new. Big love,  Jamie

Recently I started an experiment that forced me to be an absolute beginner again. No plan. No step-by-step roadmap. No idea if it was going to work. And here's the thing - so many people who have something genuinely valuable to share, something aligned with who they really are... never start. They wait until they feel ready. Until they can see the whole path. In this short clip, I share what I know to be true about starting something new - especially when you can't see where it's going. Big love, Jamie P.S. That experiment I mentioned? It's about visibility - finding out what actually works right now to reach more people, starting from zero. I'm running a free masterclass next week sharing what I've discovered so far. It's called Visibility from Zero. Register here - https://www.jamiesmart.com/visibilityfromzero

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com A few weeks ago during the Visibility Masterclass Series, I did a live coaching demo with Kate - a coach who was navigating something I see all the time. She knew what she wanted to say. She had the experience and the expertise. But every time she went to show up on LinkedIn or social media, she'd see what everyone else was doing and think: "I should be doing that. That looks amazing. I'm not ready." Sound familiar? In this 12-minute coaching demo, we explore what's really going on when being yourself feels harder than copying everyone else - and what shifts when you stop trying to be good at "marketing" and start being good at being you. Thanks to Kate for volunteering and allowing me to share this with you. Big love, Jamie

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com I just recorded this about something I've been noticing more and more with coaches and change-workers. As AI makes it easier than ever to create content, something a little strange seems to be happening. The people working hardest to be visible are often the ones who end up feeling the most invisible. Not in a dramatic way.  More like getting lost in the noise. So how do you cut through the noise and reach the people you're here to make a difference to? In this clip, I share what I've come to think of as the visibility paradox - and why "the way to cut through" isn't where most people are looking. Big love, Jamie P.S. If this topic feels relevant for you right now, I'm running a free 4-part Visibility Masterclass Series starting this Sunday called "Getting Yourself Out There in the Age of AI." We'll explore how to remove what's obscuring your signal, and share your work in a way that feels true and actually connects with the people you're here to serve.

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and colleague Ankush Jain – coach, teacher, speaker, founder of Coaching Career School, and author of the new book Awakening the Coach Within. We talk about the real journey behind building a coaching practice: the early days, the missteps, the breakthroughs, and the insights that shaped everything that came after. This is a very open, very human conversation about what it actually takes to do this work in a grounded, sustainable way. In this conversation, we explore: What the early years of a coaching business really look like Why seeing coaching as a calling changes everything How generosity plays a surprising role in client creation Why trust and relationship will matter more than ever in the years ahead The courage and clarity behind Ankush's new book If you're a coach — new or experienced — this is a conversation worth hearing.

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com Every so often I get to share a conversation that reminds me why I love this work - seeing what becomes possible when someone's life and creativity start unfolding from clarity. That's exactly what happened in this new episode with my friend and colleague Greg Fisher, author of Unleash Your Potential. Greg's a long-time coach and consultant, and in this conversation we explore the journey behind his latest book - and the deeper understanding that's shaped it. At the heart of it is a simple idea Greg describes beautifully: thought is the quiet engine behind everything we experience. Here's a taste of what we explore together: • The "quiet engine" that's driving every moment of your experience • How frustration and overthinking dissolve when you see how the system really works • Why loving yourself isn't self-indulgence - it's sanity • How one small shift in perspective can change the way you see everything It's a grounded, inspiring conversation - the kind that helps you see new possibilities for yourself and your work. You can find Greg's book Unleash Your Potential (and the audiobook version) at his website teamuyp.com

In this extract from a recent live session, Jamie explores the value of a principles understanding in times of crisis. The world is shifting fast — with AI, volatility and uncertainty reshaping how we live and work. Yet there's something deeper, unchanging, that every human being has access to. In this episode, Jamie shares: • Why AI might soon outthink (and outwork) us — and why that's not the real issue • What humanity still has that no technology can replicate • And how awakening to the truth of who you really are might just be our best path forward A sobering yet hopeful reflection on what it means to navigate life from wisdom, wellbeing and purpose.

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com This episode is a short extract from a recent session in one of my advanced programmes. On the surface, it's about something simple: knowing what you want. But as you'll hear, this turns out to be far more powerful (and transformative) than most people realise. I talk about the subtle difference between "nice-to-have" goals and the kind of wanting that changes everything, and share a personal shift in how I approach my coaching work.

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com A lot of coaches are starting to feel uneasy about the impact of AI on our profession. And with good reason. In this short clip from last month's private masterclass for CCT grads, Jamie shares important data that reveals just how — and how fast — things are shifting. You'll hear: • The surprising #1 way people are already using AI chatbots in their personal lives • Why convenience may be the biggest disruptor of all • And what this all means for the future of coaching, therapy and change-work This isn't theory. It's happening right now — and the implications are huge. The good news? There are things human coaches can do that AI never will.

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com This week's episode is a short extract from a recent Clarity Coaches Tribe call. It's Jamie's response to a participant's question about the foundation of enrollment conversations — the single most important question you need to be able to answer. On the surface, it looks simple. But most coaches either miss it completely or don't explore it deeply enough. And the moment you really see it, everything changes. Maybe you already have a hunch about what the question is… Listen in and find out.

Subscribe now: www.JamieSmart.com Earlier this month, I shared a private Masterclass with Clarity Coaches graduates, exploring the impact of AI, the shifts we're all living through, and what this means for coaches, awakeners and changeworkers. This video is a short extract from that session. In it, I share one of my favourite Buckminster Fuller quotes about humanity being in its "final exam"… and reflect on what that means in these extraordinary times. I also explore the strange juxtaposition between humanity's greatest powers and our deepest fragility — and why it looks to me like we may be standing on the edge of a very different relationship with each other and the world.

Ever wondered what it's really like to deliver (or receive) a high-ticket coaching package? In this special episode, you'll hear a rare follow-up conversation with a client two years after we completed a 12-month coaching journey—one that unfolded live, in front of an audience of coaches and change-workers. We cover: What it was like to be coached at this level What changed over the year-long journey Reflections on transformation, insight, and impact Audience questions on the behind-the-scenes process It's a unique window into deep, transformative work—and what it actually takes to create lasting change with your clients. 🔥 The full "1:1 Coaching Package, Unpacked" is part of the Ultimate Coaching Mastery Bundle – available now for 85% off, but only until this Friday at midnight.

🔥 The full "High-Ticket Enrollment Unpacked" programme is part of the Ultimate Coaching Mastery Bundle – available now for 85% off, but only until this Friday at midnight. Don't miss it: jamiesmart.com/mastery ⏳🚀 ---- What happens when you enroll a client in a high-ticket package live - in front of an audience—and follow through to the transformation? In this special episode, I'm joined by executive coach Russell Davis for a check-in conversation after he completed a five-figure coaching journey that started during my "High-Ticket Enrollment, Unpacked" programme. You'll hear:  - What really made the difference in Russell's decision to say yes   - How the coaching unfolded over time  - What it takes to enroll someone in a bigger vision for their life (and how to do that for yourself first) This might be the only time a client has been enrolled live in front of an audience and then returned to reflect on the journey.  It's part of what I want for you: to fall in love with enrollment conversations and grow your coaching practice with impact and integrity.

This week, I'm sharing a short clip from one of my advanced programmes on something I see as hugely important:  the hidden structure behind the words people say—and how that affects the way we listen, speak, and make an impact. Every word you hear is pointing to something much deeper. And once that really lands, it opens up a whole new level of clarity and connection. And guess what? It's not just the words you hear; it's behind the words you say, too!  That's why this one's especially relevant if you're a coach, teacher, awakener—or anyone who wants to have a transformative impact through language and presence. Big love, Jamie 🔗www.jamiesmart.com

Subscribe now: www.JamieSmart.com This week, I'm sharing a short clip from one of my advanced programmes, where we explored something that quietly shapes so much of your experience… especially when it comes to money. For many people, money feels tricky or elusive - but often, it's got less to do with the money itself… and everything to do with your relationship to it. In this clip, I share a simple metaphor that points to how that works - and why things can start to shift when you see it differently. Big love, Jamie

Subscribe now: www.JamieSmart.com In this short clip from my recent talk at the VIVA Conference, I dive into an insight that's been transformative—not just for me, but for countless people I've worked with. Here's the thing: You're not who you think you are. In this video, you'll discover: – The everyday illusion that keeps us stuck believing we're limited by our identity. – How your ideas about yourself can dissolve in a single, powerful moment. – What this reveals about who you really are—something infinitely more peaceful, resilient, and true. It's easy to miss, but once you've seen this clearly, it changes everything. Enjoy! Big love, Jamie  

This week, I'm sharing a short clip from a recent weekend of my flagship programme Clarity Certification Training, where I answered an interesting question: "How can coaches better understand what truly motivates their potential clients?" It's such an important question – because they're focusing on what the coach finds valuable themselves… rather than what really matters to the people they're hoping to help. I start my answer by sharing one of my favourite metaphors (from my friend Dean Jackson) that brings this to life in a really simple way. You'll hear us explore what your clients are really looking for, what they're trying to avoid – and how to take both into account when you're designing your offer. If you've ever had a potential client back away – and you weren't quite sure why – you might find this especially helpful. Big love, Jamie --- 🚀 Ready to Boost Your Coaching Impact?

This week, I want to share with you a short clip from one of our recent sessions, and it's about something I really love exploring: trusting your inner guidance. One of the things I often find is that when people first come across this understanding, they love the idea of wisdom—that quiet voice of guidance. But a common question is, "How do I tell the difference between that and just regular thinking?" In this 5-minute clip, I share what I've seen about that, and why your system is already being guided by wisdom - more than you might realise. 👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday.

There's a moment in nearly every breakthrough – one that's easy to miss if you don't know what to look for. It's often quiet, almost invisible… but it's where everything starts to shift. In last night's masterclass, I slowed things down and unpacked a recent coaching demo where one of these pivotal moments happened, and we explored: – What I was noticing beneath the surface – Why I asked the questions I did (including a few that might seem counterintuitive) – How the entire session pivoted on a single shift in perspective If you're a coach, change-worker, or just fascinated by the inside-out nature of real transformation, I think you'll find this especially useful. Big love, Jamie P.S. Towards the end of the session, I shared two possible next steps for anyone wanting to take their coaching to the next level: 1 - If you've been considering joining Clarity Certification Training and want to explore if it's the right next step for you, you can start your CCT application & diagnostic here.  👉 www.jamiesmart.com/CCT Submitting the application isn't a commitment to join – it's an exploration. And many find that simply completing the diagnostic gives you deep, valuable insights into your coaching journey and business. Super Early Bird pricing expires on May 29th, but if you decide to join, we'll honour that rate based on your application date. 2 - Or if you'd prefer to get to know me better and experience my work in a small group, you're warmly invited to join our next Impact & Confidence Accelerator on June 12th (a few spots are still available). 👉 www.jamiesmart.com/calendar

Ever had one of those moments where you just know it's time to act—no overthinking, just a deep click of certainty? Last week, I had a coaching session with Kate, a senior HR director scaling back her corporate role to grow her coaching practice. In just 15 minutes, we witnessed that exact moment of wisdom becoming visible right before our eyes. (Big thanks to Kate for generously allowing us to share her session so others can benefit.) A few breadcrumbs to listen for: The split-second move that turned Kate's empty Thursdays into a full coaching roster How a single felt signal ("Oh—it's now") trumps months of spreadsheets and planning How genuine peace appears the instant intellectual "noise" steps aside And here's the thing: just by listening in, you might even find yourself on the receiving end of your own breakthroughs around growing your practice—just as Kate did.

Have you noticed how a coaching session can turn into a Netflix mini-series in about thirty seconds? Your client starts describing what happened, the cast of characters grows, sub-plots multiply… and before you know it, you're as tangled in the narrative as they are.  When we get lost in the story, it's hard to help them find the way out. In this week's short clip I share the mindset shift that keeps me from being "hypnotised by the content" and lets me hear what's really going on. A few hints of what's inside: - The unexpected move I make before a client even finishes their first sentence. - A "prehistoric" listening lens that slices straight through any story. - Three simple words that open the door to genuine insight. - This quick listen might change the way you hear every conversation.

This week for the podcast, I'm sharing something profoundly meaningful to me - an extract from a 2020 workshop on the topic of True Identity featuring two extraordinary mentors and dear friends, Chip and Jan Chipman. At the end of last year, I received the sad news that Chip had passed away. Chip and his wife Jan have been a profound influence in my life and understanding of the principles behind clarity. Their insights into "the beautiful feeling" and "who you really are" continue to shape the way I live, coach, and share this understanding with others. Towards the end of this clip, Chip shares one of my all-time favorite stories—the moment he and Jan realized they were destined to share the principles with the world. It's a story that has sparked deep insights for so many, and I wanted to make it accessible to everyone in our community. In this session, we explore: The profound connection between "the beautiful feeling" and understanding your true identity. How realizing the beauty and innocence within yourself opens the door to seeing it in others. The power of listening deeply and letting life guide you to what's next. And much, much more. The live participants asked some incredibly powerful questions that sparked remarkable insights throughout the session. This episode is an opportunity to reconnect with the wisdom and intelligence within you—and to reflect on what truly matters. I hope this conversation touches you as deeply as it has touched me—and that it inspires new insights into your own journey.

I used to be terrified of speaking to groups - so much so that I once packed my company chequebook to refund everyone if I bombed! In this short clip from a recent masterclass, I share the insight that flipped my whole relationship with impostor syndrome.

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday. Subscribe now: JamieSmart.com  This week I want to share a short clip from the advanced workshop I ran last month, "Speaking from the Heart," where I tell the story of a crucial lesson I learned from one of Milton Erickson's students. Milton Erickson is one of my heroes. He's widely regarded as the father of modern hypnotherapy and was often referred to as the "Wizard of the Desert" because of his extraordinary ability to create profound transformation. In this short recording, you'll discover: - The surprising "real secret" behind Erickson's legendary transformational impact (hint: it's not his famous language skills). - What Erickson communicated that allowed people to experience deep, lasting transformation without trying to "fix" them. - The subtle but powerful message you send to your audience, depending on how comfortable you are with yourself. This insight has dramatically shifted how I approach speaking and working with groups—it's a fundamental key to making a real impact. Big love, Jamie

  👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday. Subscribe now: JamieSmart.com  - This week, I'm excited to share a fascinating conversation with my good friend and colleague, Dr. Joseph Riggio. Joseph and I have been friends for over 25 years, often exploring deep questions about human potential, transformation, and what it takes to live a truly inspired life. Recently, Joseph sent me a thought-provoking message from sunny Florida, challenging me to reflect on the relationship between our inner perceptions and external reality. He asked: "How do we reconcile the 3Ps concept that 'it's all just thought' with the undeniable external feedback we constantly receive from the world around us?" (If you've been following my work over the past decade, you may have noticed that I tend to avoid the phrase "just thought"—and for good reason.) Joseph's question sparked an insightful conversation between us, giving me a chance to clarify my particular understanding of Sydney Banks' teachings, as well as to explore the profound practical implications of how we perceive and navigate reality. I'm delighted to share our recorded discussion as this week's podcast episode. Here are a few highlights from our conversation: Why transformation is always ontologically based and embodied (and what that means in practical terms). How our experience of reality is essentially a simulation—and how deeply understanding the "rules" of this simulation can profoundly impact your life. The critical difference between transformation and mastery—and why confusing the two can seriously limit your growth. Why direct engagement with reality is essential for genuine insight and meaningful change. We also explored the intersection between my approach (informed by the Three Principles) and Joseph's work, which integrates NLP, hypnosis, and his unique "MythoSelf Process." One thing worth noting: what you're going to hear is a conversation between two friends and colleagues, comparing and seeking to better understand each others' "maps of reality". As such, it's not a coaching or teaching session (though there's still plenty to discover). This conversation is particularly valuable if you're committed to making a meaningful impact—whether as a coach, speaker, leader, or in your own personal journey of transformation.

I've got a short, 4-minute clip that dives into a question I hear all the time: Are non-duality and the Three Principles really different? And what if you love them both? In it, I explore why they're actually pointing to the same truth in different ways, a key distinction that sets the 3 Principles apart, and how you can blend whatever resonates to spark new insights - for yourself, your loved ones, and your clients.

My friend Jonathan Armes at Capital Shift invited me to have a conversation exploring the topic of "Transforming Setbacks into Success" and he's given me permission to share the full recording with you.  We took a deep dive into something that affects us all: how we deal with setbacks in life and work, and what changes when we really understand how our mind works.   So whether you're facing a challenge right now or want to support someone who is (friend, client, colleague or loved one), this was created with you in mind.  Here's some of what we covered:   - Why obstacles are often just stepping stones—raw material for your transformation.   - Why insight beats positive thinking every time (real breakthroughs come from fresh perspectives, not just pushing harder).  - How to break free from victimhood, remember who you really are, and move through setbacks with more freedom and flow.    Tons of love,   Jamie  🚀 Ready to Boost Your Coaching Impact?

On Monday, I hosted a masterclass called Speaking Behind the Mask, and it was incredible to see how much this resonated with people. I've decided to share this clip from the recording for anyone who wants to explore how to speak in a way that connects the true self in you to the true self in your audience.

Earlier this month, I had the privilege of speaking at a Masterclass hosted by my dear friend Simon Paine, co-founder of the Rebel Business School. Simon is a Clarity Coach and a successful entrepreneur in his own right, and it's always a pleasure to speak with his community. One of the highlights of the session was a live coaching demo I did with Evie, who shared her struggles with imposter syndrome and her dream of stepping into her full potential. What unfolded was one of those transformative conversations that cuts through noise and gets to the heart of what really holds us back - and what's possible when we trust the wisdom within. In this week's podcast episode, you'll discover: Why imposter syndrome is nothing more than a case of mistaken identity - and how to see past it. The truth about fear and courage How to uncover the path life is calling you to take (the one your heart already knows), even when your head doubts it. After our session, Evie sent me a heartfelt email about her experience. With her permission, here's what she shared: Hi Jamie ​I just wanted to drop a personal thank you for yesterday's Master Transformational Impact session via Rebel Business School. ​Whilst I found the whole session to be inspirational, the one on one section did exactly as it said on the tin. I've awoken today with a released sense of clarity and purpose. So much of what you spoke about resonated deeply with me, and our conversation cracked open something inside that I've been working on for a number of years.  It felt as though in that held space I finally felt my heart take over from the negativity in my brain. It was powerful. ​So, thank you again. I am truly grateful for our conversation yesterday. ​Warmest wishes ​Evie Jones This episode is a chance to reconnect with your own inner wisdom and say yes to what life is calling you to create.

This week, I'm sharing a reflection on a topic that's fascinated me for a long time: vision, purpose, and the question of goals. Once we come into contact with the principles understanding, many of us discover that happiness isn't tied to achieving goals, and this realization can be incredibly freeing.  But sometimes, we risk throwing the baby out with the bathwater, thinking that if life doesn't need to look a certain way for us to be okay, then goals don't matter at all. It turns out that (as with most things) there are subtleties at play here. In this session, I explore: Why your dreams, heart's desires, and creative impulses are a vital expression of life itself. How honoring your purpose and collaborating with life can lead to clarity and direction in surprising ways. A recent breakthrough my team and I had when we reconnected with the wisdom and intelligence within us—and how it's shaping our work. It turns out that when it comes to the goals that are deeply aligned with who you most truly are and what you're most inspired to create, there's a perspective that can be profoundly helpful. That's what we explore here: I hope it sparks fresh insights into how you approach your own vision, purpose, and goals. Tons of love, Jamie  

A while ago, I was asked a bold question: "How do you know that people have innate health and wellbeing? How do you know this is true?" It's a question I've spent years exploring, and here's the thing: There are no sacred cows in this understanding. If you're familiar with my work, you'll know I often reference the principles behind clarity.  These principles don't require belief or blind faith—if they're "true" then they should be there to be seen, so they're fair game to be tested, questioned, and explored deeply. This week's podcast episode is all about that. It's an extract from a call in one of my advanced programs, where we explore: The two ways I've come to know these principles are true—through personal insight and universal application. A powerful story that illustrates how realization can instantly align us with reality. Why the principles of clarity, wellbeing, and resilience aren't just ideas—they're foundational truths that hold up to scrutiny. I hope this extract inspires you to test these principles for yourself - and see what emerges. Tons of love, Jamie

You've probably heard me say this before:  the two most important things a person can realize are: How your experience is created Who you really are During a recent event, "Get Unstuck and On-Track," I shared how these insights apply directly to breaking free from feeling stuck and moving forward with clarity. Why misunderstandings about where your experience comes from keep you stuck. How reconnecting to who you really are can bring the clarity, freedom, and ease to get back on track. A simple yet powerful formula for unsticking yourself (it's easier than you might think). If you've ever felt like something is holding you back - whether it's in your work, relationships, or life - this episode will give you a fresh perspective that can make all the difference. Tons of love, Jamie PS - Thanks to Roberto Talarico for organizing this online event!  

I hope the new year is off to a wonderful start for you. This week, I'm sharing a coaching demo where Roberto opens up about a challenge many of us face: feeling disconnected in relationships and life. In this session, we explored: Why the experience of connection comes and goes What you can rely on that's deeper and *always* present How resisting the feeling of disconnection can actually give it power The surprising insight that shifted Roberto's perspective—and might shift yours, too If you've ever felt "out of connection" and judged yourself for it, this clip is a powerful reminder that both connection and disconnection are valuable signals. ---  🚀 Ready to Boost Your Coaching Impact?

This week, I'm sharing a powerful coaching demo from one of my group sessions that explores a challenge so many of us face: bringing our work into the world. In this clip, Tracey—a coach and author—shares her struggle with launching her book. Despite having written it, she feels stuck, held back by doubts like "Does the world need another book?" and fears about what might happen once it's out there. What unfolded during our conversation reveals something essential for anyone wanting to share their gifts with the world: The connection between our fears and the very gifts we're called to share. What to align with so you can unlock the energy to move forward. I also share one of my favorite poems that captures the essence of why your work matters. If you've ever hesitated to put yourself out there, I think you'll find this episode relatable—and inspiring. I hope this demo reminds you that the world does need your gifts - and you have everything you need to share them. 🚀 Get a shot of Clarity in your inbox Every Friday + The free Inner Stressbuster audio Right away https://www.jamiesmart.com/

A few weeks ago, I asked a group of coaches what they most wanted to improve in their practice. The top answer? Getting better at enrolling clients. That's why this week, I'm sharing a short extract from my ClarityPro programme, where we dive into what I call Deep Enrollment. Deep Enrollment isn't just about 'signing people up'—it's about connecting with something else entirely… An 'X-factor' that's deeply authentic, profound and highly motivating.  Because let's face it; if someone's going to invest their time, their money and their energy in working with you at a deep level, it's got to be for something that really matters to them.  And here's the most surprising aspect of it: you need to eat your own cooking first. Before you can 'deeply enroll' your client, you need to deeply enroll yourself! In this episode, I share:  The 'X-factor' that's essential for enrolling clients at a deep level  A personal story of how I hit a wall when trying to teach this concept—and the realization that got me unstuck.  Simple yet profound questions to help you uncover what truly matters.  How aligning with your own heartfelt desires can transform the way you connect with clients.  Enjoy the episode!

In today's episode, I'm sharing a simple but profound coaching demo from a recent workshop. During this session, you'll hear Morag, a coach, open up about a "marketing problem." She'd been struggling to connect with a key organization, feeling stuck on how to communicate the value of her work in a way that truly landed with them. Together, we explored what I know to be the two essential things you have to have before a client will decide to enroll with you. By the end of the session, Morag had a powerful realization - one that could shift your perspective on how to engage potential clients, too. I won't spoil the surprise here, but I'm confident you'll find plenty of value in listening to the coaching session. What I love about this demo is how relatable it is. Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience, we've all faced moments where we've felt stuck or unsure of how to approach or connect with the people we'd love to work with. --- 🚀 Ready to Boost Your Coaching Impact?

  When the event hosts asked me to deliver the final keynote speech at this year's Viva Event, I asked them what gift they'd love the participants to walk away from the conference with. Their answer inspired the title of my talk: Troubleshooting Enlightenment - How to Keep the Feeling Alive When You're Back in the Real World. During the talk, I shared: What gets in the way of that feeling staying with you, How to 'reconnect' to the principles, even in the midst of life's challenges, Practical insights to help you keep showing up with clarity and ease, and Insights for those looking to share the 3Ps professionally. So I invite you to ask *yourself* this question if you've ever wondered where the feeling goes: Q: How do you keep 'the beautiful feeling' alive when you're back in the real world? This is exactly what today's episode is all about, featuring the full recording of my keynote. When I listened to the recording myself, I picked up on the Viva vibe of fun and playfulness throughout the episode. As well as being really enjoyable (if I say so myself) I heard from multiple people that they came away from the session with a quiet mind and new, fresh insights on the principles and what they make possible. There's something else you'll find relevant if you're a coach or therapist: During the talk, I asked who had asked themselves these questions: Why doesn't everyone know this? That's the question I hear most often from people when they first catch a glimpse of the principles, followed by... How can I get this out there? It was almost everyone in the audience (around 200 people). So, during my talk, I shared some of the distinctions and 'mindsets' that can make you unusually good at having a transformational impact with this understanding and experiencing more of the feeling in your own life. Because as Sydney Banks said: "The more you help others, the more you help yourself. Believe me, that's really true. The more you help others, the better the feeling you will get." Delivering this speech made me realize how much more we can do to bring these insights into practical, transformative action for ourselves and the world. My team and I are already moving in this direction—more to come soon.

In today's brief (7 min) podcast, we'll dive into an intriguing question from one of my advanced programs—and into an answer that I believe reveals the #1 skill for creating deep, transformational impact. Together, we'll explore: The True Self: How do you explain to someone who they truly are? Beyond Words: Why words often fall short (and what to do instead) The Art of Connection: The importance of becoming a connoisseur of connection Fractionation: A fancy word for how Syd Banks used to ease people into the experience of their deeper selves Q: Are you a coach, thought leader, or change-worker looking to boost confidence, enroll clients with more ease and have a bigger impact? After 26+ years of research and training thousands of changeworkers, I believe this is your biggest (and perhaps counterintuitive) leverage point.

Q: Want to really support others, the world, and yourself through the US election aftermath? With the US election results fresh on everyone's minds, there's been a palpable wave of emotions echoing across social media and personal conversations—some are celebrating, while others feel deeply unsettled. Even many folks outside the USA are feeling it, with some conversations turning to confusion, disbelief, and fear. In today's rapid-fire 7-minute podcast episode, we dive into how to navigate emotionally charged situations—whether you're struggling yourself or supporting someone who is. And even if you're feeling great, there's an opportunity here to embrace empathy and understanding. Here's a taste of what we'll cover: How media keeps us hooked by amplifying fear and uncertainty. Emotional reactions like shock, disbelief, grief, fear, and anger—and how they might be showing up. How seeing "separate realities" in this aftermath can help you deepen your understanding of how our human experience works. How the power of deep listening helps us truly understand someone's world, even if profoundly different from our own. And why there's a huge opportunity for connection here... ... because when we listen for each other's wisdom, we discover common ground—and that's where real personal and societal transformation begins. This episode is a recording from one of my advanced programs, where I answered a powerful question from a Clarity Coach.
