#144 - The Hidden Structure Behind the Words People Say
The Thriving Coaches Podcast
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...

The Thriving Coaches Podcast
👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday. 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,...

#141 - Attracting Clients: The Missing Piece
The Thriving Coaches Podcast
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...

#140 - Trusting Your Inner Guidance
The Thriving Coaches Podcast
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 +...

#139 - Coaching Breakthrough Unpacked Masterclass
The Thriving Coaches Podcast
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...

#138 - DEMO: From Stuck to a Breakthrough in her Coaching Business
The Thriving Coaches Podcast
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...

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.
Big love,
Jamie
