The Thriving Coaches Podcast

In this episode you're going to be hearing something I'm very excited to share with you - here's why. Last weekend, we had our ClarityLive event, and it was the best one yet. We had people joining us from all over the world, and there was an incredible sense of community, with lots of profound insights. Anyway, one of the things we did was I had 'fireside chat' conversations with four Clarity Coac...

I've got a question for you: What would you like to ask a client on a high 5-figure coaching package about their experience of being enrolled?  I made that invitation to members of the Clarity Life Community, then yesterday, I interviewed one of my clients about his experience of being enrolled on a high-ticket, 5-figure coaching package. Basically, I want to give you the opportunity to put yourse...

In this episode, you're going to hear a Facebook live I did where I was asked a question I just loved from one of my clients, Johannes Metzler, and what it boiled down to was this:   If you were starting over as a coach, so you don't have an email list and you haven't written any books, how would you go about getting coaching clients and building a thriving practice?   I loved answering this quest...

Hi, I'm Jamie Smart, and welcome to the podcast.   And in this episode, I've got a special surprise for you; the audio version of my 5th book. It's called Your Thriving Coaching Practice: The 10 Multipliers That Are Growing or Slowing Your Coaching Business.   As you may know, my first 2 books, CLARITY and RESULTS were massive bestsellers. In fact, the success of those books gave me the time and s...

This episode features a coaching demo around weight-loss and fitness during lockdown that I did during a recent masterclass, "The Language of Insight & Transformational Change". I start by talking about the six 'languages of transformation' before diving into one of them, the language of connection.   You'll hear me coaching my client, Angela on her topic, weight-loss and staying fit and healthy w...

The episode you're about to hear is a mentoring session on visibility & growing your audience that I did with Matt Fox. Matt's one of the coaches taking part in the Clarity Advanced Coach & Facilitator Programme, and he and I met just over a year ago when he joined the Thriving Coaches Blueprint. And one of the things he developed while he was on that programme was his podcast, "The Heart of Dad"....

The episode you're about to hear is an excerpt from one of the private laser-coaching & Q&A sessions I do each month with my ClarityPro Members. Just to give you a bit of background, I'd been telling my clients about something my team and I do called 'Project Gretsky', inspired by a quote from the phenomenal hockey player, Wayne Gretsky who famously said, "Skate to where the puck is going, not whe...

Welcome to the podcast. I'm Jamie Smart. And in this episode, you're going to hear a Q&A session I did this week as part of my Thriving Coaches Business Masterclass series.    And the reason I've decided to release this as a podcast episode is because the questions gave me an opportunity to really clarify what I see as some of the biggest 'schoolboy errors' coaches make, and the most important fun...

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, Vin...

I'm Jamie Smart - welcome to the podcast. A few months ago, I had a conversation with my good friend and colleague, Ami Chen Mills. As well as being a very experienced principles teacher (Ami was one of the first people I heard talking about this understanding), she's the co-founder of the Santa Cruz chapter of Extinction Rebellion. Earlier in the year, Ami wrote a Medium article, calling out her...

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...

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...

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 t...

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 ha...

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 whil...
