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.

#144 - The Hidden Structure Behind the Words People Say
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

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

#141 - Attracting Clients: The Missing Piece
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?

#140 - Trusting Your Inner Guidance
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.

#139 - Coaching Breakthrough Unpacked Masterclass
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. 👉 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). 👉

#138 - DEMO: From Stuck to a Breakthrough in her Coaching Business
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.

#137 - Boost Your Coaching Impact: Listening Beyond the Story
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.

#136 - True Identity: The Story That Changed Everything
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.

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday. Subscribe now: 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

#132 - Reality, Transformation, and Mastery – with Dr. Joseph Riggio
👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday. Subscribe now: - 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 P.S.

#127 - COACHING DEMO: Courage, Imposter Syndrome, and Following Your Heart
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.

#126 - Vision, Purpose, and Goals: What Does Life Want You to Bring Into Being?
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

#125 - How Do You Know It’s True? Putting the Principles to the Test
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

#124 - Get Unstuck and On-Track
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!

#122 - COACHING DEMO: Your Gifts Are Needed: overcoming the fear of sharing your work
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. 🚀 Ready to Boost Your Coaching Impact? to gain clarity, enroll clients, and maximize your impact. https://www.jamiesmart.com/scorecard

#121 - Deep Enrollment: Aligning with What Truly Matters
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!
