Hi. Iām Jamie Smart. Welcome to the podcast. In this episode, youāre going to hear a conversation I had with my good friend and colleague, Ankush Jain. Ankush is a life and business coach, heās a consultant, a proud father, a published author, a podcast host and a public speaker. As youāll hear, heās on a mission to raise the consciousness of the planet through changing the coaching industry. And one of the vehicles heās using for this is his Coaching Career School which he launched in 2022, helping coaches grow impactful, ethical and sustainable practices. Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are now open for the September 2024 intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme. Clarity Certification is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (the ICF) as a provider of Continuous Coach Education, so if youāre already an ICF-certified coach, you can use the programme to earn CCE units.

Hi. Iām Jamie Smart. Welcome to the podcast. This episode is a coaching demo I did with Clarity Coach Jan Harte around weight loss and limiting beliefs. The demo itself took place during my Clarity Advanced Coach & Facilitator Programme, and only lasted 20 minutes, but itās followed by a 4-minute follow-up I did with Jan a year later (just a few weeks ago). As youāll hear, the impact of the coaching session was profoundly transformational.
Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that on Friday May 10th, Iām getting together with a group of coaches to look at the fundamentals of belief-change, so you can increase your impact-confidence, dissolve limiting beliefs & transform lives (including your own). Hereās what weāre going to be exploring together: Youāre going to learn the fundamentals of working with limiting beliefs, so youāre standing on solid ground as you discern whatās really going on for your client.
As a result, youāll be able to increase your impact-confidence and make a bigger difference (itās a lot easier to help someone when you understand the landscape.) As a lovely side-effect, youāll start seeing through your *own* limiting beliefs so you can create the results that truly matter to you as well as your clients. Youāre going to be getting a felt sense of the nature of true identity (this is crucial, because this is one of the main āleverage pointsā you have to share with your clients). Youāll also be learning the linguistic and sensory structure of limiting beliefs (language is a doorway into your clientās world, so Iāll be showing you specific questions you can ask to uncover whatās been holding them back until now). Youāll be learning about the paradoxical nature of double-binds, and why most coaches innocently end up reinforcing the bind, rather than dissolving it (true story!) Youāll learn how to point people to their true identity and their innate capacity for realisation, the keystone for truly transformational impact. People regularly cry tears of relief when you help them see through their perceived limitations, and wake up to the truth of who they really are. While this one-day workshop will be suitable for coaches and therapists of all skill and experience-levels, itās going to be of particular interest to experienced coaches who are looking to take their impact to a new level. There will be several belief-change demonstrations, and everyone will have the opportunity to shift their own most pernicious beliefs. As I mentioned, itās on Friday May 10th via Zoom, and thereās an earlybird price when you book your place by this Thursday May 2nd. Just go to www.JamieSmart.com/belief to learn more and register now. Thatās www.JamieSmart.com/belief So now to the coaching demo and one-year followup.. -

Hi. Iām Jamie Smart. Welcome to the podcast. Iāve called this episode, āCoaching in the Midst of Crisisā, and itās a recording from the Clarity Coaching Experience event we held earlier this month. The theme for the event was āIncreasing your Impact Certaintyā and it was a beautiful weekend. We had coaches joining us from all around the world, and there was a lovely sense of community, with lots of profound insights. And one of the things we did was I had āfireside chatā conversations with Clarity Coaches who are making a big difference in the world, and I picked their brains about their impact with their clients, and how this understanding has helped them increase that. And my idea for this was that we would be talking shop; the kind of conversation that I have with my colleagues over coffee, and that most people never get to hear. So in this podcast, youāre going to be hearing one of those, a conversation I had with my dear friend and colleague, Mahima Shrestha. Now, you may have seen an amazing conversation I had with Mahima a few years ago when I interviewed her about her experience of the 2015 Nepal earthquake. That was right at the start of her journey as a coach, and since then, sheās developed extensive experience in coaching individuals and organizations through crisis. Mahima works with entrepreneurs, innovators, activists, and changemakers- bringing bright people together to solve complex problems. And youāre going to hear how her certainty about what people have going for them is fundamental to the difference she makes with clients. Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are now open for the September 2023 intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme. Clarity Certification has recently been accredited by the International Coaching Federation (the ICF) as a provider of Continuous Coach Education, so if youāre already an ICF-certified coach, you can use the programme to earn CCE units. Either way, you can take part in CCT with full confidence that the programme is fully accredited by the ICF as a Continuous Coaching Education provider.

Iām Jamie Smart - welcome to the podcast. Iāve called this episode, āDevelop Your Intuitionā, and itās a recording from the ClarityLive! event we held in November. The theme for the event was āPassion, Purpose & Personal Expressionā and it was really great. We had people joining us from all around the world, and there was a lovely sense of community, with lots of profound insights. And one of the things we did was I had āfireside chatā conversations with people who are having a big impact in the world, and I picked their brains about what it means to bring your unique expression to life, and how this understanding has helped them do that. And my idea for this was that we would be talking shop; the kind of conversation that I have with my colleagues over coffee, and that most people never get to hear. So in this podcast, youāre going to be hearing one of those, a conversation I had with my dear friend and colleague, Carl Harvey. Carl is the founder of the Abundance Book Club and The Big Life show. And he was also MindValley's head copywriter for a couple of years - Carl's a powerhouse! Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that my beloved Emma McDevitt and I are offering a new programme starting in January called the Clarity Professional Programme: Bring Your Unique Expression to Life. The theme of uncovering and living your unique expression is one thatās very alive for us both, so weāre inspired to share it with a group of explorers. Weāve created a brief video about the programme and a simple 'unique expression diagnostic' process. Its purpose is to continue deepening your awareness of your unique expression and to help us (me and Emma) get a sense of where you're at in your journey. If you want to watch the video, do the diagnostic and find out more about the programme, just pop an email to [email protected] with the word āvideoā in the subject line and weāll get everything over to you.

Iām Jamie Smart - welcome to the podcast. And in this session youāre going to hear a conversation I had recently with my dear friend and colleague, Ian Watson. Ian and I have been in each otherās lives for the past 20 years, and those years have included many twists and turns as weāve encountered obstacles, followed our inner guidance and found our way forward (sometimes more easily than others). Some of the topics we explored included - Following your bliss - Trust in āthe invisibleā - Being willing to take āthe road less travelledā - Doing what you love - And much more By the way, our next ClarityLive! event is next weekend (November 19-20) and the theme is in a similar domain: Purpose, Principles & Personal Expression: How to bring dream projects to life for yourself and others (even if you donāt know what they are yet). Weāre being joined by guest speakers including my dear friend and colleague, Cathy Casey. Cathy pioneered taking the principles into the California prison system and is a master of stepping into the unknown and bringing unique expression to life. Weāre also being joined by another dear friend, Carl Harvey, founder of the Abundance Book Club and The Big Life show (he was also MindValley's head copywriter for a couple of years - Carl's a powerhouse). Itās all going to be happening via live-stream, and you can find out more at www.JamieSmart.com/ClarityLive

Teaching subtractive psychology to the brass at NATO Welcome to the podcast; Iām Jamie Smart, and Iāve really been looking forward to this one. Last summer, in August 2021, I flew to Rome to deliver a keynote speech to 80 military and civilian personnel at the NATO Defense College. My brief was to help them have greater clarity, less stress, more productivity and stronger professional relationships (the college has staff from 20 member states, so good communication is essential). There was one problem: my contact warned me that the military personnel wouldnāt enjoy my talk. He explained these were experienced senior officers (colonels, generals etc) who already felt they had all the EQ they needed. He said theyād likely be checked out and checking their watches during my session. So hereās the thing: I love a challenge. I made it my mission to get everyone fully engaged and have a big impact as I shared the principles with them. The topics we covered ranged from from Napoleon to Netflix, from strategic insight to the unsuspected superpowers everyone has. It was the first live in-person talk Iād done in over 18 months (because of lockdown). For the first 10-15 minutes, you may be able to hear the adrenaline in my voice, but this ended up being a great teaching point when we talked about the link between rabbits and your innate capacity for handling stress My aim is always to be practical without being prescriptive, leverage spiritual principles without being woo-woo, to have a big impact without being earnest and to share a good feeling in the process, so I hope this keynote meets these criteria for you. By the way, at the end of this month, Iām going to kick off the only Thriving Coaches Blueprint programme weāre going to be running this year, and the last one Iām ever going to run in the 12-week form weāve taken over 500 coaches, therapists and trainers through over the past 8 years. As you may know, I love unpacking what I do; it really lights me up, so for the first time ever, over the course of this month Iām going to be āunpackingā my āsimple, effective, funā launch process and showing you how it all applies to getting clients and growing a coaching business. Itās all free, so if you want to find out more head over to www.jamiesmart.com/business This is the āsimple, effective, funā edition of the masterclass, and Iām going to be doing my best to embody and model for you the qualities that are at the heart of growing a successful coaching business. These include: - Building relationships by giving people an experience of you - Living and working in the feeling you want to share with others - Doing the things youāre passionate about - Playing to your strengths and creating massive value - Being guided by realisation, wisdom and insight - Being of service to others - Doing all of this with honesty, simplicity and authenticity - Having fun!!!!!
Iām going to be doing this all month, and itās all going to be free of charge. Some of it will be planned, and some will be spontaneous and on-the-fly. You can register for free at www.jamiesmart.com/business
Now here's the episode... -
Welcome to the podcast. Iām delighted to present this episode, āLiving a Beautiful Lifeā with Jan and Chip Chipman. The theme for the ClarityLive conference it was recorded at was āHow to make 2022 your most beautiful year yetā and it was really lovely. We had people joining us from all around the world, and there was a great sense of community, with lots of profound realisations. And one of the highlights of the weekend was my session with my dear friends, mentors, colleagues and collaborators, Jan and Chip Chipman. Jan, Chip and I met nearly 13 years ago and have been friends ever since. Weāve run retreats together in the Canary Islands and mainland Spain. They spent years being mentored by Sydney Banks, and one of the things youāre going to love about this conversation is the feeling they bring. Chip also tells me favourite Syd Banks story in this session, so I hope you enjoy that too. Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are about to close for the final intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme. I say āfinalā because as you may have heard, Iāve decided to stop all business activities except for delivering programmes that I already have in the calendar for 2022. And Iām doing this so I have the time to write the second edition of my book CLARITY, and to create the space for whatās going to come next. You know, when I first came to the principles, it was relatively unknown, and very few people knew how to share this understanding with others. And it was clear to me that we needed a cadre of highly-skilled coaches, trainers and change-workers who could share this understanding and have a big impact with their clients. Ten years on, and weāve trained over 300 Clarity Coaches and I couldnāt be more delighted. We now have that cadre of highly-skilled people with a deep understanding in place. Now itās time to get these principles out into the world in a bigger way, and I need the space to do that, soā¦ This is the last time Iām going to be delivering Clarity Certification Training. 30 of the 36 places are now taken, so there are 6 places left as I speak. And Iām really looking for leaders who want to take this understanding out into the world at a time when thereās never been a greater need for it. And for the first time ever, Iāve added a massive bonus package worth over Ā£13,000, including the chance to sit in on a 3-day coaching intensive with a corporate client, later this year. And Jan and Chip Chipman are two of the teachers who do Masterclasses on the CCT programme, as well as mentoring our Advanced Clarity Coaches. So if you want to join me for the last ever Clarity Certification Training, go to www.JamieSmart.com/coach So now to the episode.

Iām Jamie Smart - welcome to the podcast. In this episode youāre going to be hearing something Iām very happy to share with you. Itās the recording of a conversation I had with Clarity Coach Louise OāDalaigh at the last ClarityLive event a few months ago. Louise is trained as a nurse and has spent the last 30 years working in the healthcare field. Her current role is as a Quality Improvement Lead for an NHS organisation with over 10,000 staff. So it was a real treat to be able to have one of my āfireside chatā conversations with her and find out the kind of difference the principles understanding is making in her life and in her organisation. Just before we get to that, a bit of housekeeping. Iām working on the second edition of my book, CLARITY, and I had a realisation. I realised that just as the release of CLARITY planted a seed that grew into everything Iāve been doing for the past 10 years, I now want to create the space for the seeds Iāll be planting with the second edition. So Iāve made a decision. Between now and July 2022, Iām stopping all business activities except the delivery of the programmes that are already in the calendar for 2022. I have the strong sense that thereās something new getting ready to emerge, and I want to create room for it. This means that the Clarity Certification Training I do starting at the end of this month - January 2022 may be the last one I ever do (or at least the last one I do in its current form). It seems to me that the world has never had a greater need for this understanding, and that conditions have never been better to share it as widely as possible. In fact, the technologies that are playing a part in creating this crisis may also have the capacity to play a part in its solution. I donāt know what part Iām going to play in all of this. What I do know is that Iām interested in exploring emerging technologies and new models to align communities as we take this understanding out into the world in a brand new form. To the people who have been through (or are preparing to go through) Clarity Certification Training, youāre not just early adopters; youāre trailblazers, and Iām grateful to be on the journey with you. In Syd Banksā final talk, āThe Ultimate Answerā, he says that when this gets out into the world, āliterally, it will help millions of people.ā The more Iāve learned from Sydās work, the more Iāve learned to take him literally. And I think it might just be time. So, there are 11 places left on the Clarity Certification Training programme, and Iāve decided to really push the boat out, and added some extra bonuses including the chance to sit in on a live 1:1 coaching intensive. If you want to find out more, just go to www.JamieSmart.com/coach thatās www.JamieSmart.com/coach So now to the episode.

Iām Jamie Smart. Welcome to the podcast.
The recording youāre about to hear is a conversation with my dear friend and colleague Garret Kramer on the state of the world today.
It often seems to me like weāre living in the pages of a Marvel comic, and a lot has changed since Garret & I last spoke together in public, so it seemed like a good time to catch up.
We had a great conversation, and we covered topics as wide-ranging as the 3 principles, authoritarianism, true identity, various mandates and much more.
Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are now open for the January 2022 intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme.
Clarity Certification has recently been accredited by the International Coaching Federation (the ICF) as a provider of Continuous Coach Education, so if youāre already an ICF-certified coach, you can use the programme to earn CCE units. Either way, you can take part in CCT with full confidence that the programme is fully accredited by the ICF as a Continuous Coaching Education provider.

Iām Jamie Smart - welcome to the podcast. And in this episode youāre going to be hearing something Iām really pleased to share with you. Itās a conversation I had with transformative coach David Bird, and hereās one of the things I think youāre going to find particularly interesting. The thing that motivated Birdey to explore the principles was this: he was already working as a hypnotherapist and coach, and he started attracting clients who he didnāt actually know whether or not he could help. He wanted to find a way to have more certainty about the impact he could have with his clients.
At or recent ClarityLive event, we had people joining us from all over the world, and there was an incredible sense of community, with lots of profound insights. And the theme was 'Making your living from the inside out', so I wanted to spotlight people who are taking this understanding into the world in a variety of ways. I had āfireside chatā conversations with four Clarity Coaches who have been having a big impact in the world. And my idea for this was that we would be talking shop; the kind of conversation that I have with my colleagues over coffee, and that most people never get to hear. So in this podcast, youāre going to be hearing my conversation with, David Bird.

Iām Jamie Smart - welcome to the podcast. And in this episode youāre going to be hearing something Iām very excited to share with you. Itās a conversation I had with the director of a community interest company, a CIC, whoās been putting the whole domain of wellbeing on the map in her local community. And hereās why Iām so excited about it... Last weekend, we had our ClarityLive event, and it really wonderful. We had people joining us from all over the world, and there was an incredible sense of community, with lots of profound insights. And the theme was 'Making your living from the inside out', so I wanted to spotlight people who are taking this understanding into the world in a variety of ways.
One of the things we did was I had āfireside chatā conversations with four Clarity Coaches who have been having a big impact in the world. And my idea for this was that we would be talking shop; the kind of conversation that I have with my colleagues over coffee, and that most people never get to hear. So in this podcast, youāre going to be hearing one of those, a conversation I had with coach and CIC director, Liz Scott. Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are now open for the January 2022 intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme. Clarity Certification has recently been accredited by the International Coaching Federation (the ICF) as a provider of Continuous Coach Education, so if youāre already an ICF-certified coach, you can use the programme to earn CCE units. Either way, you can take part in CCT with full confidence that the programme is fully accredited by the ICF as a Continuous Coaching Education provider. By the way, the first 21 places are taken, so there are only 15 places remaining as I speak. And you can save up to Ā£2000 when you book your place by the end of November.

Iām Jamie Smart. Welcome to the podcast. Last week, I spent an hour with my dear friend and colleague, Kimberley Hare, for a wide-ranging conversation on topics including capitalism, climate change, prepping, financial collapse, nuclear weapons, synthetic biology and spiritual bypassing (among other things). Hereās the backstory - Kim and I met up in London two years ago, and she filled me in on what she was seeing about the state of the world re: climate change and related topics. Last week, she invited me on her podcast to explore a number of topics including: - How I'm making sense of the way we seem to be headed as a world and society - How can our understanding of the Principles help in allowing us to face into these from a place of courage, wellbeing and clarity? - How I reconcile my work as a coach and educator with the fact that clients are often hiring me to get better results in terms of the 'industrial capitalism narrative', & live in a better feeling for life. - If we have realised significant insights about Life, Truth and the human experience, shouldnāt we be focusing on challenging what Kim calls our current āinsane extractive and ecocidal economyā, rather than helping people to get better at playing the crazy game? - My take on āspiritual bypassingā, and whether it's happening in the Principles community (as well as other spiritual communities)? And much more. I really enjoyed our conversation, and Kim has kindly agreed to let me share it with my audience, so hereās the episodeā¦

This episode features a coaching demo around weight-loss and fitness during lockdown that I did during a recent masterclass, "The Language of Insight & Transformational Change". I start by talking about the six 'languages of transformation' before diving into one of them, the language of connection.
You'll hear me coaching my client, Angela on her topic, weight-loss and staying fit and healthy while working on her online business. And as I work with her, you'll hear me demonstrating the language of connection to 'get her world' and find my way into a deeper connection with her. Angela's one of the people on my current Thriving Coaches Blueprint programme, so she's already had some breakthroughs in her coaching practice. So she decided to be particularly brave and dive into a topic that she's never discussed publicly before.
So here's the episode...
PS So a few days after we recorded this coaching demo, Angela sent me a Facebook message. Here's what she said:
My Experience Of The Coaching was that it felt easy and simple and the realisation re 'do what you love' was bloody obvious doh! But I heard and felt it deeply...as if I was listening underwater. TBC...
Other realisations I've had since are:
1) SELF CARE listen to my body, ie. listen to wisdom about my body... If I need rest, rest. If I want to go out with the dogs do that. Feeling tired isn't telling me about anything other than feeling tired.
2) it's OK to feel under par and still do stuff and be OK with that eg keep commitments then rest afterwards.
3) BREATHING: I've noticed I've started to breathe diaphragmatically, Which creates more room in your lungs and the long out-breath tightens the core!
4)overall I feel an underlying deep sense of love, peace and well being... I'm reminded of this by Louis de Bernieres...
"Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what
is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident."
I know this is usually quoted about romantic love, but to me, I'm just seeing more and more deeply that to Love Life means to love and care for mySelf as well as others.
**re Louis de Bernieres... The similarity is with being in love with the principles, or the idea of them, now the 'Whoop whoop' has settled down and what I'm left with IS love.
And a more tangible difference... After 2 days of rest at home with my lovely other-half, open fires, and food that I enjoy, I had the energy to go to my paddock where I trained/played/ran around with the pup. It was easy and fun.
The way it seems to me is it's like a balloon has been popped... And all the air inside has been released into the world. The air is now light and free to move wherever the breeze takes it. And the balloon no longer exists.
As you can imagine, that was a beautiful message to read. And if you want to increase your ability to have this sort of impact with people, it's one of the things we'll be exploring on The Language of Transformation, a six-week course I'm kicking off in December. We'll be diving into all six of the languages of transformation, all in the service of creating greater engagement, connection and impact. And it starts with the 2-day Conversational Transformation Bootcamp on 12 and 13 December, followed by six weeks of learning modules and group-coaching - we'll be focusing in on one of the six languages of transformation each week. And you can save Ā£300 and get a bonus package worth over Ā£1400 when you book your place before midnight on Monday, November 30th.

The episode youāre about to hear is a mentoring session on visibility & growing your audience that I did with Matt Fox. Mattās one of the coaches taking part in the Clarity Advanced Coach & Facilitator Programme, and he and I met just over a year ago when he joined the Thriving Coaches Blueprint. And one of the things he developed while he was on that programme was his podcast, āThe Heart of Dadā.
Mattās a father himself, and heās passionate about supporting dads to really be there in their childrenās lives. In fact, many of his coaching clients are entrepreneurs who are also dads and want to experience more clarity and heart in their work and in their lives as a whole.
So about a month ago, Matt mentioned that he was planning to do the āHeart of Dadā summit, an event where he was going to interview coaches and teachers who have had an impact in Mattās life, and who are also fathers. Many of these people are dear friends and colleagues of mine, guys like Dicken Bettinger, Dr Bill Pettit, Amir Karkouti and Dr Mark Howard.
If you want to register for the summit, go to https://www.heartofdad.com/summit
Matt invited me to be one of the people he interviewed, and he happened to mention that he wanted to get more visibility and grow his audience for the summit, and thatās when I had an idea.
During my most recent Clarity Certification Training, I was talking to the students about the whole domain of business and the principles. We had a really great time, and everyone learned a lot, and it inspired me to start working on something new: the Clarity Pro Business Accelerator. I havenāt formally launched it yet, but Iām starting to get a group of founder members together, and I had an ideaā¦
I invited Matt to have a one-hour conversation with me where weād explore how he can grow his audience for his summit, and weād stream it LIVE as an example of Clarity Pro Business Accelerator content.
We did the session, and lots of people found it really useful, so Iāve decided to launch it on the podcast. So hereās the episode!
PS itās worth knowing that weāve only got 2 places left on the 2021 Clarity Certification Training. Thereās an early booking price which expires at the end of this month, on November 30th, but itās likely that the programme will be sold out by then (weāre limiting it to 36 places and the first 34 have already been taken), so if you want to find out more, go to www.JamieSmart.com/coach thatās www.JamieSmart.com/coach - Se mer
