Get Clarity with Jamie Smart

This episode is a coaching session I did with a client who was struggling with so-called “impostor syndrome”, self-doubt and lack of self-belief. And these are such common issues for people that I thought it would be a really useful one to share with you. Emma Broome is an elite performance coach, with a background in elite performance herself as an aerial skier. But when she first reached out to me, she told me she was really struggling with impostor syndrome and self-doubt. And she was surprised when I said, “That's a bit of a specialty of mine, so we'll get that handled, probably during the first week of the programme.” I invited her to do a coaching demo with me during a training programme, and the recording you’re about to hear is the result. By the way, 2 weeks ago she posted on Facebook saying, “I had my first enrolment conversation 10 days ago, did my first proposal last week and had it accepted yesterday! I now have my first half day intensive in 10 days time.” So things have really shifted since she and I had this coaching session. This episode was brought to you by the certified clarity coach training programme, and the 2018 programme is now open for registration, and here’s something you need to know; we’re NOT running the programme next year, so the intake that’s starting this September 2018 is the last chance you’ll get to join us until 2020 at the earliest, so if you want to find out how to become a Certified Clarity Coach, and see what’s involved in bringing an understanding of these principles into every aspect of your life, go to www.jamiesmart.com/coach

In this episode of Get Clarity you will hear a coaching session which was recorded during a Clarity Community call (a monthly call I do for those in my community that have been on one of my programmes). Doreen is a coach from Belfast who works with people who want to improve their lives and improve their relationship with money. As you’ll hear Doreen has recently finished the Thriving Coaches Blueprint (which had a really big impact on her), but she found herself from time to time, telling herself ‘oh it’s just your thinking’… You may have heard people say this to you or other people or maybe you’ve even tried saying it to yourself and it just doesn’t help. This was one of the things Doreen had run up against and so because this is such a common theme I thought it would be great to share this episode. Where I go with this is the last place that most people would expect. To learn more about how to become a Clarity Coach you can visit - http://www.jamiesmart.com/coach

In this episode you’re going to hear an excerpt from a live coaching demo I did for Kimberley Hare’s Heart of Thriving group. The client is Gina, who’s recently been made redundant, and has been enjoying some time for rest and rejuvenation after many years of employment. Gina wants to write a book, and to help other people but as you’ll hear, she’s been struggling to ‘get herself’ to take action and move forward, so that’s what she asks for my help with.   By the way, this episode is sponsored by the certified Clarity Coach Training programme, a 10-month immersion into the principles behind clarity. The programme is formally open for registration and it’s not just for coaches, we’ve had all sorts of people go through the programme including computer programmers, doctors, call centre workers, layers, parents PR specialists, therapists, office workers, entrepreneurs, surgeons, people who are already coaches and consultants and trainers and even a professional footballer and if you’re interested it’s worth knowing that we’re not running the programme next year so the intake that’s starting this September (2018) is the last chance you’ll get to join us until 2020 at the very earliest.

This weeks episode of the Get Clarity Podcast is actually one which I have just released on my other show – The Thriving Coaches Podcast and it features a coaching session I did during the 2017 Clarity Coach training with a very successful coach called Pam Featherstone. Pam took her coaching business from zero to 1 million in under 3 years and became Action Coaches no.1 global coach of the year. In fact, she was the first ever UK coach to achieve the global award (previously it had been won by coaches from the USA and Australia). Now Pam currently gives 80% of all her earnings to charity and has delivered 12000 coaching hours over the course of 5 years but she came on the Clarity Coach training programme to increase her impact with clients even more and to experience her own personal transformations. In this session you’re going to hear me working with Pam on caring for her own health and wellbeing. This is something I see with a lot of coaches and therapists and transformation professionals – they’re brilliant at support other people but sometimes need a little help taking care of themselves. By the way the certified Clarity Coach Training programme is formally open for registration and it’s not just for coaches, we’ve had all sorts of people go through the programme including doctors, call centre workers, layers, parents PR specialist, therapists, office workers, entrepreneurs, surgeons, people who are already coaches and consultants and trainers (people like Pam) and even a professional footballer and if you’re interested it’s worth knowing that we’re not running the programme next year so the intake that’s starting this September (2018) is the last chance  you’re going to get to join us until 2020 at the very earliest.

In this episode you're going to hear an excerpt from the most recent Clarity Coach Training programme where several students were in situations where they wanted to share the principles behind Clarity with an audience, but they didn't understand how it was practical (or even possible) to do so. The subjects they were due to be talking about were “gut health”, “business strategy” and “exam results”. The principles behind clarity are present in every human experience so, as you'll hear, it turns out to be quite a bit simpler than you might expect. By the way, the certified Clarity Coach Training programme is going to be formally opening for registration in the next couple of weeks, so If you'd like to find out more about the programme and see what's involved in becoming a Clarity Coach go to JamieSMart.com/coach  We've had people from all walks of life go through the programme including computer programmers, doctors, call centre workers, lawyers, parents, PR specialists, therapists, office workers, entrepreneurs, surgeons, people who are already coaches, consultants, trainers and even a professional footballer.  If you want to find out how to become a Clarity Coach, and see what's involved in bringing an understanding of these principles into every aspect of your life, go to http://www.jamiesmart.com/coach If you want to watch the video this recording was taken from go to http://bit.ly/sharetheprinciples

In this episode I speak with Charles Faulkner (a man whose work has had a big influence on the way I think about language, metaphor and money). A trainer and a master modeller, Charles was featured in the book The New Market Wizards and other books for his pioneering work modelling the best market traders - so-called Market Wizards. Charles also led the way introducing Cognitive Linguistics as the basis of new metaphoric change processes. As a Visiting Senior Fellow to the University of Surrey School of Management he has been instrumental in getting research in the UK started in NLP. His 2017 TED Talk introduces his newer thinking on the nature of our imagination. You can find Charles' website here: http://www.charlesfaulkner.info/

This weeks episode is a recording of a talk I gave at the 2017 3PGC conference and the subject is 'The Future of Employment'. This is something I go into depth with in my book - The Little Book of Results. For more info about the LBOR and to download free chapters you can visit https://www.jamiesmart.com/getresults 

Realising Resilience is a brief (20 minutes) recording I created to help you tap into your innate capacity for resilience; a capacity that exists within every human being. This may be one of those recordings you decide to listen to over and over again, because it will help point you in the direction of your innate resources.  For full show notes, please visit https://www.jamiesmart.com/claritynow

This is a keynote that I did for Regents Business School and it requires a little bit of introduction because this was the very last thing the students attended before the end of their term and so (as you can imagine) the students were very excited and there was a lot of different stuff going on (Eg. side conversations, people texting each other and on phones), it was a lot of what we would call distraction (we're talking about students between 19 and 22 years old) and it's the last day of school so (as you'll hear when you listen to the recording) part of what I'm doing is the conveying of information but a big part of what I'm doing is engaging the students, getting their attention and bringing them together as a group so that I can help them have an experience of what I'm pointing to. So I'm busting out everything that occurs to me in the moment to get people's attention, get them to focus, bring them into the present etc. The vibe and style of the talk may be a little bit different to some of the things you've heard from me in the past but I thought you might find it interesting to see what it’s like because my basic idea when I'm talking to any group is how can I make it easy for them to look in the direction I'm pointing and step one with that is always to get their attention and meet them where they are then lead them in the direction I'm heading. You can make up your own mind about how well that worked and maybe make your own guesses about at what point in the talk we started to drop into that deeper space together. By the way, if you'd like to book me to do a keynote for your organisation or your event just send an email to dawn@jamiesmart.com with 'keynote' in the subject line.
