The Thriving Coaches Podcast

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 art, so I thought it would be nice to shed a little light on the process, and I'm sharing this recording on both my podcasts for several reasons as follows: Number 1, If you've been thinking about doing a 1:1 intensive with me, this will give you a sense of what to expect, and whether or not it's a good fit for you. That's why I'm sharing it on the Get Clarity Podcast. Number 2, If you've been considering doing 1:1 intensives with your clients, this will answer some of the questions you may have had, and help you take the next step. That's why I'm sharing it on the Thriving Coaches Podcast. And number 3, A few years ago, I did a 1:1 coaching intensive with a corporate lawyer called Andy, but I did it in front of an audience of coaches and therapists, answering their questions and unpacking what I'm doing. We recorded the whole thing, and whether you want to do an intensive with me, or you want to do one with your own clients, it's one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways of experiencing an intensive without paying 5000, 10,000 or 50,000 pounds (that's what I charge for my CEO Intensive). And we've got he 1:1 Coaching Intensive Unpacked in our summer sale at over 40% off until Monday August 31st, so if you'd like to find out more about that, head over to www.clarityacademy.co/intensive If you want to do an intensive with me, head over to www.JamieSmart.com/ceo. And finally, we've opened the doors to ClarityPro while our Summer Sale is on, so head over to www.ClarityAcademy.co to see if you want to join, and to see everything else that's in the summer sale.

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 to the question. So I reached out to my good friend and colleague, Clarity Coach Davida Arnold. Davida is a coach and educator based in Columbus Ohio. She's a mother with young children, and she's a black woman. You can find out more about Davida at this website: https://davidaiarnold.com/ As Davida and I talked, I realised it could be valuable for us to have a conversation to release more widely. Our discussion didn't have an agenda per se - the purpose was to have a connected conversation to see what we could discover about 'the truth of the matter'. We had a great conversation, and afterwards, we both felt it might make sense to have a follow-up chat in a month or so. For now, here's the episode...

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 to sharing this understanding, and has a fascinating story. Just before we get to that, I wanted to let you know that we've opened the doors to our ClarityPro Community and we're accepting new members until midnight pacific time today, Monday, July 13th. You may have heard me say that my mission is to awaken people to the truth of the inside-out understanding, and help them to awaken others to this. The ClarityPRO membership programme is designed to give you everything you need to share the inside-out understanding with anybody, on any topic, in any situation.

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 has led to him putting the principles 'front and centre' in his 1:1 Coaching work with clients. Just before we get to that, I wanted to let you know that we've opened the doors to our ClarityPro Community and we're accepting new members until midnight pacific time this Monday, July 13th. You may have heard me say that my mission is to awaken people to the truth of the inside-out understanding, and help them to awaken others to this.

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 while she looked somewhere else for work she loved doing. This conversation speaks to the wisdom that's guiding every single one of us, once we know how to tune into it. You can find out more about Anke Herrmann here: https://www.ankeherrmann.com/ Find out more about the guest's podcast here: https://www.ankeherrmann.com/passionbusinesspodcast/ Find out more about the book here: https://taming-the-tech-monster.mn.co/ By the way, I'm about to kick off a free masterclass series on sharing the principles in these turbulent times. If you want to join in, just go to www.ClarityAcademy.co/free3p to register. Now here's the episode.

In this episode, I'm speaking to a good friend and colleague, Simon Ong. Simon's focus is on inspiring people to see their world differently and igniting their imagination of what is truly possible so that they can lead an extraordinary life doing that which makes them feel most alive. And as you'll hear, he's got a gift for distilling his insights into powerful lessons that can be easily understood and applied immediately. As an award-winning coach and international keynote speaker, he has appeared on Sky News, BBC and Forbes, and has spoken at some of the planet's most successful organisations like Virgin, Barclays, Salesforce and Microsoft. And one of the interesting things about Simon is that he's just agreed a deal with Penguin Random House to publish his first book. Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are now open for the January 2021 intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme. And you can save up to £3000 when you book your place by June 26th 2020. Just go to www.JamieSmart.com/coach So here's the episode...

In this episode of the Thriving coaches podcast, you're going to be hearing a re-release of a conversation I had with a good friend and colleague, Clarity Coach Ankush Jain. Ankush is a successful coach and a leader in the coaching community. He's spoken at conferences in the USA and Europe, and works with clients from around the world, helping them achieve extraordinary results. And one of the interesting things about Ankush is he's the creator of the Relationship Series, a podcast where he interviews coaches and experts from around the world on a wide variety of topics around the theme of relationships. And this episode was first released as a companion piece to my book RESULTS, because it contained a story about realisations Ankush had while observing a 3-day, 1:1 Coaching Intensive I was doing with a client. Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are now open for the January 2021 intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme. And you can save up to £3000 when you book your place by June 26th 2020. Just go to www.JamieSmart.com/coach that's www.JamieSmart.com/coach So here's the episode...

Today, I'm going to introduce you to one of my favourite people. She's a master of having a flash of inspiration and then running with it. She's got a deep understanding of the principles behind clarity, and at the start of this year, she found herself wondering... "What would it be like to live in in a town where we had the time and energy to connect with friends, and family and the wider community?" Clarity Coach Liz Scott asked herself this question in January and started a 3-month experiment exploring wellbeing in her local town of Ivybridge. So how did it go? Put it this way. The experiment has been extended for another 6 months! In fact, Liz is now running online 'Wellbeing Listener' programmes supporting those in the community who want to be better listeners for friends, family and work colleagues. And here's the cool thing... Few of the participants have ever even heard of the Inside-Out understanding. But based on their experience so far, they're very curious to find out more. Lots of people have already joined in with the Wellbeing Listener webinar including people from charities, volunteers, listening services, the community connector, business-owners, parents, change-workers and educators. So I've asked Liz to join us here in to share - her inspiration for the project - how she got it off the ground - and her ideas about where it may go next And here's the thing: because these principles are playing out for *everyone*, this conversation will be a great opportunity to have insights and realisations for yourself into the principles, and how you can share them with others.

Welcome to the podcast. And in this episode you're going to hear a coaching demo I did with a client who was completely stuck following a series of catastrophes. First, she was hit with the deaths of both her parents within the space of a couple of years. Then her husband became seriously ill. She told me that during this period, her work as a coach kept her going. But then, the UK coronavirus lockdown kicked in, and her business collapsed overnight. She said it was like a domino effect of 'big things' happening that's left her feeling stuck and with no confidence. She said she felt like she had lead in her boots and was unable to move. When I asked her what she wanted to have happen as a result of our session, she said... "I want to become unstuck. I want to go back to being me." Just before I introduce that session, I wanted to let you know that the 2021 Intake of our flagship programme, the Clarity Certification Training is now open for enrolment and you can save up to £3,000 when you register by Friday 26th June. A few things worth knowing… 1. Clarity Certification Training is our flagship seven month programme for anyone interested in bringing an understanding of the principles behind clarity into their life or work. 2. I'm going to be delivering all 7 modules on the Clarity Certification Training myself, so you're going to be working closely with me. 3. We're limiting the number of places on the programme to 36 people, and.... 4. You can save up to £3,000 when you book your place by Friday, 26th June, 2020. >>> You can find out more and book your place at www.JamieSmart.com/coach So now to the coaching demo. I did this session in front of an audience of clients on my 12-week Coaching Immersion programme. The client's name is Cecilia, and as you'll hear, I move between coaching Cecilia and speaking to the audience. The main coaching session is in the first 26 minutes of the podcast. Then in the last minute or two of the podcast, you'll hear me circle back and check in with Cecilia - this was actually an hour later (I was coaching some other members of the group in the meantime). So here's the coaching demo.

In this episode, you're going to hear me being interviewed by Billy Mann. In fact, it's a conversation as much as it is an interview. Billy is a coach, and entrepreneur and an absolutely lovely human being. And one of the things that's interesting about Billy is that he's been deeply impacted by the single paradigm as articulated by Keith Blevens and Valda Monroe, so that's one of the areas we explore in this episode. About Billy Mann Billy Mann is a Father, Husband, Entrepreneur, Business Owner, Coach, Blogger, Soon to be Author and All-Round lover of life. Billy has spent all of his life in business in one form or another. He literally grew up in his family business (we lived over it) and has worked serving people in one form or another as far back as he can remember. People have always been his passion. As life has it, it took a life changing event to see something new and he has spent the last 10 years dedicated to understanding what it really means to enjoy our lives, creating what it is that reflects our joy. Now, along with running a very successful salon with very happy staff (it's a really joyful place to work for us all) to helping others to find that sweet spot inside, he's busily creating a coaching business to help business owners discover what it means to really live and love their business and their staff. Having spent 27 years employing people both as a freaked out, stressed out boss to having a more productive and profitable business taught him that people always come first and a great relationship with staff builds a great business... Being a great boss isn't as tough as it may seem. If you want to connect with him, you'll find him on Facebook and Instagram and you can DM him or email him at billymanncoaching@gmail.com
