  • #152 - Awakening - the Value of a Principles Understanding in Times of Crisis

    In this extract from a recent live session, Jamie explores the value of a principles understanding in times of crisis.

    The world is shifting fast — with AI, volatility and uncertainty reshaping how we live and work. Yet there's something deeper, unchanging, that every human being has access to.

    In this episode, Jamie shares:

    • Why AI might soon outthink (and outwork) us — and why that's not the real issue

    • What humanity still has that no technology can replicate

    • And how awakening to the truth of who you really are might just be our best path forward

    A sobering yet hopeful reflection on what it means to navigate life from wisdom, wellbeing and purpose.

    👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com

    This short clip is from one of my Masterclasses, where I talk about what I see as the real source of transformation.

    It's not about models or techniques — it's about the art of being a mirror, and letting another person catch a glimpse of who they really are.

    If you're drawn to this kind of deep, grounded transformation, I think you'll really enjoy this one.

    Big love,

    Jamie

    Why Hire a Coach When ChatGPT Is Free? | AI, Coaching & the Human Spirit

    In this short 4-minute clip from my recent masterclass AI, Coaching & the 3Ps – One Year On, a participant shared that a potential client had asked him:

    "Why should I hire you when I can just use ChatGPT for free?"

    It's a great question — and one every coach, therapist, and changeworker will need to answer sooner or later.

    In this video, I share how I responded… and what it reveals about the rapidly changing world of coaching and therapy.

    You'll hear:

    •⁠ ⁠The surprising truth about what AI is already doing better than many coaches

    •⁠ ⁠Why the usual "human" answers won't be enough in the years ahead

    •⁠ ⁠And the one thing AI will never be able to replicate — the human spirit

    It's a short but vital reflection on how to stay relevant and impactful in a world being reshaped by AI.

  • #150 - The Unexpected Power of Knowing What You Want

    👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com

    This episode is a short extract from a recent session in one of my advanced programmes. On the surface, it's about something simple: knowing what you want. But as you'll hear, this turns out to be far more powerful (and transformative) than most people realise.

    I talk about the subtle difference between "nice-to-have" goals and the kind of wanting that changes everything, and share a personal shift in how I approach my coaching work.

  • #149 - AI, Coaching & the Data You Can't Ignore

    👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com

    A lot of coaches are starting to feel uneasy about the impact of AI on our profession. And with good reason.

    In this short clip from last month's private masterclass for CCT grads, Jamie shares important data that reveals just how — and how fast — things are shifting.

    You'll hear:

    • The surprising #1 way people are already using AI chatbots in their personal lives

    • Why convenience may be the biggest disruptor of all

    • And what this all means for the future of coaching, therapy and change-work

    This isn't theory. It's happening right now — and the implications are huge.

    The good news? There are things human coaches can do that AI never will.

    PS: Next Wednesday, 1st October, Jamie is repeating this masterclass — but this time it's open to everyone in the community. You're invited to join live for AI, Coaching & the 3Ps – One Year On: What's Changed, What's Next.

  • #148 - The #1 Enrollment Question (and Why Most Coaches Miss It)

    👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday: www.JamieSmart.com

    This week's episode is a short extract from a recent Clarity Coaches Tribe call.

    It's Jamie's response to a participant's question about the foundation of enrollment conversations — the single most important question you need to be able to answer.

    On the surface, it looks simple. But most coaches either miss it completely or don't explore it deeply enough. And the moment you really see it, everything changes.

    Maybe you already have a hunch about what the question is… Listen in and find out.

  • #147 - Humanity's "Final Exam" - with Jamie Smart

    👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday. Subscribe now: www.JamieSmart.com

    Earlier this month, I shared a private Masterclass with Clarity Coaches graduates, exploring the impact of AI, the shifts we're all living through, and what this means for coaches, awakeners and changeworkers.

    This video is a short extract from that session.

    In it, I share one of my favourite Buckminster Fuller quotes about humanity being in its "final exam"… and reflect on what that means in these extraordinary times.

    I also explore the strange juxtaposition between humanity's greatest powers and our deepest fragility — and why it looks to me like we may be standing on the edge of a very different relationship with each other and the world.

    Big love, Jamie

  • #145- High Ticket Coaching, Enrollment & Impact A Real Client Journey Unpacked

    🔥 The full "High-Ticket Enrollment Unpacked" programme is part of the Ultimate Coaching Mastery Bundle – available now for 85% off, but only until this Friday at midnight. Don't miss it: jamiesmart.com/mastery ⏳🚀 ---- What happens when you enroll a client in a high-ticket package live - in front of an audience—and follow through to the transformation?

    In this special episode, I'm joined by executive coach Russell Davis for a check-in conversation after he completed a five-figure coaching journey that started during my "High-Ticket Enrollment, Unpacked" programme.

    You'll hear: - What really made the difference in Russell's decision to say yes - How the coaching unfolded over time - What it takes to enroll someone in a bigger vision for their life (and how to do that for yourself first)

    This might be the only time a client has been enrolled live in front of an audience and then returned to reflect on the journey.

    It's part of what I want for you: to fall in love with enrollment conversations and grow your coaching practice with impact and integrity.

  • #144 - The Hidden Structure Behind the Words People Say

    This week, I'm sharing a short clip from one of my advanced programmes on something I see as hugely important: the hidden structure behind the words people say—and how that affects the way we listen, speak, and make an impact.

    Every word you hear is pointing to something much deeper. And once that really lands, it opens up a whole new level of clarity and connection.

    And guess what? It's not just the words you hear; it's behind the words you say, too!

    That's why this one's especially relevant if you're a coach, teacher, awakener—or anyone who wants to have a transformative impact through language and presence.

    Big love, Jamie
