#130 - 3 Principles Vs Non-Duality: Difference? The Thriving Coaches podcast

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.

#139 - Coaching Breakthrough Unpacked Masterclass 58:37

9 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…

#138 - DEMO: From Stuck to a Breakthrough in her Coaching Business 16:54

16 days ago16:54

16:54

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 5:31

24 days ago5:31

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.

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.

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.

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…

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

8 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.

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.

8:34

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…

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.

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!

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.

#119 - Troubleshooting Enlightenment 42:04

25 weeks ago42:04

42:04

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.…

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. The insights felt especially relevant right now, so I decided to share them with you right away. --- 👉 Share the 3Ps with Impact & Confidence: Get Jamie Smart's Free Scorecard…

#116 - Jeff Booth – Freedom, Tech & Spirituality in Business 1:10:01

Hi. I’m Jamie Smart. Welcome to the podcast. As you may know, I've long been fascinated with exponential technology and its impact on us and our world. With that in mind, I've decided that in this season of the 'The Thriving Coaches' podcast, I'm going to be having conversations with people who can share insights to help us navigate this rapidly changing landscape from a psychological and spiritual perspective. My first guest is Jeff Booth, a friend whose work I've been exploring for several years. Jeff is a bestselling author, tech entrepreneur and a very deep thinker. He's one of the founding partners of "Ego Death Capital", a fund for investing in technology startups, and Jeff coaches and mentors the tech entrepreneurs and teams the fund invests in. And here's the thing that had me realise he'll be a great guest for the podcast. I was reading his superb book, "The Price of Tomorrow", and many of the things he said let me know that Jeff understands something worth knowing about who we really are. Then, as I listened to some of his interviews, I realised he has a very practical understanding of "how life works" that I'd love to explore more deeply with him, and to share with you. One thing: I had to listen to Jeff share his perspective a number of times before I really *got* what he’s pointing to, so this may be one you want to come back to again and again. Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are now open for the January 2025 intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme.
