Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

#101 - Identity, Insight & the Art of Letting Go with Jamie Smart and James Trigg 54:48

6 days ago54:48

54:48

👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday. Subscribe now: www.JamieSmart.com ---- This week, I’m sharing a thought-provoking conversation I had with my longtime friend and colleague, James Tripp. We talked about the shift from relying on plans and techniques to creating from something deeper and more intuitive. It’s something many of us bump into—especially when what used to work starts feeling out of sync. Here are a few breadcrumbs to listen for: The deeper intelligence behind career pivots and bold moves What it really means to follow your heart (especially when it challenges everything you’ve been taught) How identity shifts over time—and what happens when we stop trying to “get it right” We also explored Erickson, Jung, the three principles, and the art of creating from what wants to come through. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to loosen your grip and let life lead a little more, I think you’ll find this conversation a meaningful one. Big love, Jamie…

#100 - Trusting Your Inner Guidance 5:49

12 days ago5:49

5:49

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.

#99 - Coaching Breakthrough Unpacked Masterclass 58:37

19 days ago58:37

58:37

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…

#98 - DEMO: From Stuck to a Breakthrough in her Coaching Business 16:50

26 days ago16:50

16:50

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.

#97 - Boost Your Coaching Impact: Listening Beyond the Story 5:31

5 weeks ago5:31

5:31

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.

#96 - True Identity: The Story That Changed Everything 1:11:56

6 weeks ago1:11:56

1:11:56

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.

#95 - Why Impostor Syndrome Is a Compass, Not a Curse 15:30

7 weeks ago15:30

15:30

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. You’ll hear: Why that “I’m a fraud” feeling can be a compass, not a curse How your ego’s panic is often your soul’s signal to move forward The intuition shift that turned my self-doubt into momentum If you’ve ever heard the whisper, “Who are you to do this?” just before something big, this might turn impostor syndrome on its head. Big love, Jamie 🚀 Just a quick heads-up that Clarity Certification Training 2026 is now open for enrollment!

What really makes the biggest impact – polished performance or authentic connection? This week, I’ve got a fresh clip from a recent workshop where I answer exactly that question.

#93 - Connect With Any Audience (The Hidden Key) 5:22

👉 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…

#92 - Reality, Transformation, and Mastery – with Dr. Joseph Riggio 1:13:04

10 weeks ago1:13:04

1:13:04

👉 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. Big love, Jamie P.S. If you'd like to learn more about Joseph and his remarkable work, I highly recommend checking out his website: josephriggio.com…

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. If this catches your interest, I think you’ll really enjoy this conversation. Tons of love, Jamie ✨ Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday. Subscribe now: JamieSmart.com…

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.
