The Ultimate Coach Podcast

The Power of Compassionate Self-Forgiveness - Chris Smith


Listen Later

What if you could create yourself at the beginning of each day so you focus on the possibilities in front of you instead of limitations? Our guest Chris Smith chooses who he is going to be on a daily basis. In this conversation with host Meredith Bell, Chris explores the series of steps he took in order to experience this kind of freedom.

Chris describes the process he worked through in his coaching with Steve Hardison, first identifying self-judgments he’d made, then releasing each of them through compassionate self-forgiveness, and finally crafting a document filled with declarations that state who he truly is.

This same process is available to everyone, and it’s described in detail in Chapter 28, “The Document,” in The Ultimate Coach. Listening to Chris describe his journey brings the steps to life, and you’ll discover why it’s “more like farming than rocket science.” This is an episode you’ll want to listen to more than once because you’re sure to gain new insights about yourself each time.

Chris also mentions the transformative power of attending live events, like the recent The Ultimate Experience in Phoenix. He extended an invitation to attend The Ultimate Experience Birmingham, England, on May 25-26, 2024, where the opportunity to re-create yourself awaits.

About the Guest: 

According to Chris Smith, he would rather skip the accolades, achievements, and personal back-patting found in typical bios. He’d just like to get to the truth: Chris Smith is who he chooses to be every single day. His purpose is to awaken people to what is actually possible in every area of their lives.

His story begins in Arizona, where his family was among the first to settle on that wild and beautiful land. He grew up a cowboy, surrounded by storytellers, soaking up wisdom that couldn’t be found in books. 

He pursued a few vocations and found a measure of success in each. None really spoke to him so instead he chose to speak into each of them – connecting with people to create possibility, finding meaning in leadership and language, and unlocking growth and change. And in doing so, he discovered his purpose. 

Today, Chris and his team at The PSBLTY Co., partner with entrepreneurs, brands, and teams of all sizes to discover their identity and purpose. Working together, they find clarity, build leadership and culture, align teams, and create sustainable growth that is aligned with who they are in the world.
