During a recent podcast episode, I mentioned that while climate change is one of the threats facing humanity, there are many others, including artificial intelligence, exponential technology, authoritarianism, pandemics, nuclear winter and many more. This week’s episode is another in this series of ‘public service announcement’ conversations, this time with one of my favourite twitter-follows, Vinay Gupta. Here’s the back story. Last year, I heard a podcast episode with a chap called Vinay Gupta...

The 1:1 intensives deep dive you’re about to hear is an excerpt from a Q&A Session I did with my ClarityPro Members. I was answering questions I’d been asked by ClarityPro Members and our wider community about 1:1 Coaching Intensives, where you spend up to 3 or 4 days working closely with a client to help them have the breakthroughs that matter to them. 1:1 Coaching Intensives are a bit of a dark art, so I thought it would be nice to shed a little light on the process, and I’m sharing this r...

Welcome to the podcast - I’m Jamie Smart. It’s now nearly two months since the tragic killing of George Floyd sparked a wave of protests that's echoing around the globe. And it got me wondering... "As a member of the principles community, what does it make sense for you to say or do in relation to this?" And as I wondered about this, I realised something... I realised that I didn't know the answer to the question. So I reached out to my good friend and colleague, Clarity Coach Davida Arnold. Dav...

In this episode, I’m speaking with Louise O'Dalaigh. Louise works in the NHS, but she's gone from anxiety, depression and burnout to sharing the principles with people at every level in the NHS and beyond. She was a keynote speaker at this year's 3PUK conference, and was instrumental in helping bring over 400 healthcare professionals to the event. She's got a refreshing, straightforward approach to sharing this understanding, and has a fascinating story. Just before we get to that, I wanted to l...

In this episode, I’m speaking with Matt Fox. Matt is a coach and creator of the "Heart of Dad" podcast aimed at entrepreneurs who are also fathers. He built and sold a successful eLearning business back in 2012, and retrained as a psychotherapist. Then, a couple of years ago, he was attending a coaching course and was introduced to the 3 Principles. This started a process of transformation that has led to him putting the principles 'front and centre' in his 1:1 Coaching work with clients. Just b...

In this episode, I speak with author, podcaster and coach, Anke Hermann. Anke is author of the book, “Taming the Technology Monster”, but her work with clients is as much to do with their thinking and their ideas about themselves as it is with their technology projects. In this brief conversation, she reveals how her passion for the work she does today was steadily tapping her on the shoulder while she looked somewhere else for work she loved doing. This conversation speaks to the wisdom that’s ...

In this episode, I’m speaking to a good friend and colleague, Simon Ong. Simon’s focus is on inspiring people to see their world differently and igniting their imagination of what is truly possible so that they can lead an extraordinary life doing that which makes them feel most alive. And as you’ll hear, he’s got a gift for distilling his insights into powerful lessons that can be easily understood and applied immediately. As an award-winning coach and international keynote speaker, he has appe...

In this episode of the Thriving coaches podcast, you’re going to be hearing a re-release of a conversation I had with a good friend and colleague, Clarity Coach Ankush Jain. Ankush is a successful coach and a leader in the coaching community. He’s spoken at conferences in the USA and Europe, and works with clients from around the world, helping them achieve extraordinary results. And one of the interesting things about Ankush is he’s the creator of the Relationship Series, a podcast where he int...

Today, I’m going to introduce you to one of my favourite people. She's a master of having a flash of inspiration and then running with it. She's got a deep understanding of the principles behind clarity, and at the start of this year, she found herself wondering... "What would it be like to live in in a town where we had the time and energy to connect with friends, and family and the wider community?" Clarity Coach Liz Scott asked herself this question in January and started a 3-month experiment...

Welcome to the podcast. And in this episode you’re going to hear a coaching demo I did with a client who was completely stuck following a series of catastrophes. First, she was hit with the deaths of both her parents within the space of a couple of years. Then her husband became seriously ill. She told me that during this period, her work as a coach kept her going. But then, the UK coronavirus lockdown kicked in, and her business collapsed overnight. She said it was like a domino effect of ‘big ...

In this episode, you’re going to hear me being interviewed by Billy Mann. In fact, it’s a conversation as much as it is an interview. Billy is a coach, and entrepreneur and an absolutely lovely human being. And one of the things that’s interesting about Billy is that he’s been deeply impacted by the single paradigm as articulated by Keith Blevens and Valda Monroe, so that’s one of the areas we explore in this episode. About Billy Mann Billy Mann is a Father, Husband, Entrepreneur, Business Owner...

The 9 minute clip you’re about to listen to is an excerpt from an interview where I was asked the question, “What are the 3 principles.” As you’ll hear, my response started in somewhere that’s probably pretty familiar to most people and ended up somewhere much deeper. In fact, by the time we’d reached the end of my answer, the feeling was so deep and profound that my interviewers (Lea Wernli and Shailia Stephens-Würsig) fell completely silent, and we sat in that insight-friendly space for the ne...

I’m Jamie Smart, and welcome to the podcast. We’re many weeks into lockdown as i record this, so I hope this finds you and yours safe and well. One of the things I’ve been doing is having a look at ways to introduce people to my work, and so I was looking through our most popular podcast episodes. I’ve got some great new episodes lined up for you, but this week I’m going to share one of our most popular episodes of all time. The recording you’re about to hear is a keynote speech I did at the ope...

This episode is a 10-minute clip taken from the first module of this year’s Clarity Certification Training. I’d been exploring the notion of ‘true identity’ with the members of the group, when I was asked this question: “True identity is consciousness itself; I’m very happy with that. The question is, when we move beyond that, into defining that consciousness as having characteristics (such as stillness, love, resilience, truth, calm), where’s the evidence of that?" Basically, where’s the eviden...

I'm Jamie Smart - welcome to the podcast. You don't need me to tell you that, as I record this, we're living through a time of extreme volatility and uncertainty. One aspect of that is the coronavirus and its health impacts. Another aspect is the societal and economic impacts of our response to the pandemic. But the third, and for many people the most troubling aspect is the psychological and emotional distress that people are dealing with in relation to all this. This week's podcast is a record...

This episode is a re-release of an interview from last summer, but as you’ll hear, it’s a conversation with a difference, because rather than me interviewing someone, it’s me *being* interviewed for The Coaching Show, by ICF Master Coach Christopher McAuliffe and his colleague Alex Terranova. And this was an interesting one. As you’ll hear, it was pretty fast-paced, and I really enjoyed the challenge of making the value and approach involved in principles based coaching explicit to a couple of e...

The conversation you’re about to hear is one I had with my dear friend and colleague, Dr Mark Howard just before we recorded an ‘Impact Kit’ for my ClarityPro members. Mark is a licensed psychologist who's spent *decades* sharing the principles with people to help them recover from addictions. As such, he's probably the most experienced person on the planet when it comes to sharing the principles to help people break free from life-damaging habits and compulsions. Mark and I first met ten years ...

In this episode you’re going to hear a coaching demo I did in front of an audience with a client suffering from what she described as narcissistic abuse. She sometimes felt overwhelming fear of rejection, and wanted to start living with more peace and freedom. The client had trained extensively as a therapist, and was convinced her present-day problems were rooted in her past. And she'd tried lots of things... Telling herself she knew it was just a story (she didn't). Trying to tell herself a be...

What you’re about to hear is a recording of a brief but powerful coaching demo I did with a Certified Clarity Coach, Trainer and Speaker, Clesia Mendes. Clesia starts out by saying she wants to take things to 'the next level' as a public speaker. She's doing lots of public speaking, and learning a lot in the process, so she's looking for opportunities to make things even better. So she was a little surprised when I asked... "How do you know you're not already at the next level?" As we explored h...

Do the principles represent the the future of psychology? I’m Jamie Smart, and what you’re about to hear is me being interviewed by the author Amir Karkouti, the creator of the What The F*#$ Are The Principles? group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/299806010361726/ In this conversation I make the case for why the principles behind clarity (as realised & articulated by Syd Banks) represent the future of psychology. We cover quite a lot of ground in this session including: - What distinguish...

This episode is something I’m really excited to share with you. It’s an excerpt from a one-off event I ran two years ago, called “The 1:1 Coaching Intensive Unpacked”. Here’s the backstory: As you may be aware, one of the way I love to work with my clients is by doing a 3-day, 1:1 coaching intensive. I find that the intensive format means you can achieve in a few days what would previously have taken a whole year to accomplish, so it’s a really powerful format. So in my book RESULTS, one of the ...

What you’re about to hear is an excerpt from a Masterclass I did a few years back during the Clarity Certification Training. You’re about to discover something mind-blowingly weird: it’s quite literally the strangest fact about your perception, and it blows me away every time i think of it. And it’s going to be particularly useful to you if you’ve ever said, “I know it’s just my thinking but…” - I hear that a lot from people when it’s clear to me that they don’t know it’s got much if anything to...
