The Thriving Coaches Podcast

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 🔗www.jamiesmart.com

Emphasizing enlightenment, the conversation underscores the importance of looking beyond societal roles and habitual thoughts to uncover a more peaceful and authentic self. This transformative insight could change everything.

This week, I want to share with you a short clip from one of our recent sessions, and it’s about something I really love exploring: trusting your inner guidance. One of the things I often find is that when people first come across this understanding, they love the idea of wisdom—that quiet voice of guidance. But a common question is, “How do I tell the difference between that and just regular thinking?” In this 5-minute clip, I share what I’ve seen about that, and why your system is already being guided by wisdom - more than you might realise. 👉 Get your free Inner Stressbuster + a shot of Clarity every Friday.

There’s a moment in nearly every breakthrough – one that’s easy to miss if you don’t know what to look for. It’s often quiet, almost invisible… but it’s where everything starts to shift. In last night’s masterclass, I slowed things down and unpacked a recent coaching demo where one of these pivotal moments happened, and we explored: – What I was noticing beneath the surface – Why I asked the questions I did (including a few that might seem counterintuitive) – How the entire session pivoted on a single shift in perspective If you’re a coach, change-worker, or just fascinated by the inside-out nature of real transformation, I think you’ll find this especially useful. Big love, Jamie P.S. Towards the end of the session, I shared two possible next steps for anyone wanting to take their coaching to the next level: 1 - If you’ve been considering joining Clarity Certification Training and want to explore if it’s the right next step for you, you can start your CCT application & diagnostic here.  👉 www.jamiesmart.com/CCT Submitting the application isn’t a commitment to join – it’s an exploration. And many find that simply completing the diagnostic gives you deep, valuable insights into your coaching journey and business. Super Early Bird pricing expires on May 29th, but if you decide to join, we’ll honour that rate based on your application date. 2 - Or if you’d prefer to get to know me better and experience my work in a small group, you’re warmly invited to join our next Impact & Confidence Accelerator on June 12th (a few spots are still available). 👉 www.jamiesmart.com/calendar

Have you noticed how a coaching session can turn into a Netflix mini-series in about thirty seconds? Your client starts describing what happened, the cast of characters grows, sub-plots multiply… and before you know it, you’re as tangled in the narrative as they are.  When we get lost in the story, it’s hard to help them find the way out. In this week’s short clip I share the mindset shift that keeps me from being “hypnotised by the content” and lets me hear what’s really going on. A few hints of what’s inside: - The unexpected move I make before a client even finishes their first sentence. - A “prehistoric” listening lens that slices straight through any story. - Three simple words that open the door to genuine insight. - This quick listen might change the way you hear every conversation.

I used to be terrified of speaking to groups - so much so that I once packed my company chequebook to refund everyone if I bombed!
