I hope the new year is off to a wonderful start for you.

This week, I’m sharing a coaching demo where Roberto opens up about a challenge many of us face: feeling disconnected in relationships and life.

In this session, we explored:

• Why the experience of connection comes and goes
• What you can rely on that’s deeper and *always* present
• How resisting the feeling of disconnection can actually give it power
• The surprising insight that shifted Roberto’s perspective—and might shift yours, too

If you’ve ever felt “out of connection” and judged yourself for it, this clip is a powerful reminder that both connection and disconnection are valuable signals.

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.

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!

Tons of love, Jamie

In today's episode, I’m sharing a simple but profound coaching demo from a recent workshop.

During this session, you’ll hear Morag, a coach, open up about a “marketing problem.”

She’d been struggling to connect with a key organization, feeling stuck on how to communicate the value of her work in a way that truly landed with them.

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. Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience, we’ve all faced moments where we’ve felt stuck or unsure of how to approach or connect with the people we’d love to work with.

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.

In today’s brief (7 min) podcast, we’ll dive into an intriguing question from one of my advanced programs—and into an answer that I believe reveals the #1 skill for creating deep, transformational impact.

Together, we’ll explore:

• The True Self: How do you explain to someone who they truly are?
• 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.

Enjoy the episode!

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.

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 'Get Clarity' 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. Just go to www.JamieSmart.com/coach    So now to the episode.

Hi. I’m Jamie Smart. Welcome to the podcast. In this episode, you’re going to hear a conversation I had with my good friend and colleague, Ankush Jain. Ankush is a life and business coach, he’s a consultant, a proud father, a published author, a podcast host and a public speaker. As you’ll hear, he’s on a mission to raise the consciousness of the planet through changing the coaching industry. And one of the vehicles he’s 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 you’re 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. And there’s a special earlybird price if you book your place by the end of May. Just go to www.JamieSmart.com/coach    So now to the episode.

Hi. I’m 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 it’s followed by a 4-minute follow-up I did with Jan a year later (just a few weeks ago). As you’ll 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, I’m 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). Here’s what we’re going to be exploring together:  

• You’re going to learn the fundamentals of working with limiting beliefs, so you’re standing on solid ground as you discern what’s really going on for your client.
• As a result, you’ll be able to increase your impact-confidence and make a bigger difference (it’s a lot easier to help someone when you understand the landscape.)
• As a lovely side-effect, you’ll start seeing through your *own* limiting beliefs so you can create the results that truly matter to you as well as your clients.
• You’re going to be getting a felt sense of the nature of true identity (this is crucial, because this is one of the main ‘leverage points’ you have to share with your clients).
• You’ll also be learning the linguistic and sensory structure of limiting beliefs (language is a doorway into your client’s world, so I’ll be showing you specific questions you can ask to uncover what’s been holding them back until now). 
• You’ll 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!) 
• You’ll 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, it’s 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, it’s on Friday May 10th via Zoom, and there’s 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. That’s www.JamieSmart.com/belief    So now to the coaching demo and one-year followup..
