#084 - Your first year as a professional coach with Johannes Metzler
18/10/2021 Duration: 32minI’m Jamie Smart - welcome to the podcast. And in this episode, you’re going to be hearing something very interesting. You see, just over a year ago, I met a coach named Johannes Metzler. We were talking about his aspirations, and I invited him to go through my 'Thriving Coaches Roadmap' and let me know which milestone he was currently working on. He was working on milestone 1... "You have a coaching session with someone who isn't a coach and wasn't on your coaching course." Johannes hadn't done that yet. So last week, Johannes sent me a message that read: "I finished the Intensive, 2.5 days and it was fantastic. Massive shifts for the client." A year later, Johannes has just finished his first 1:1 coaching intensive and is making his living as a professional coach. Johannes joined me as one of my guests on our recent ClarityLive! event and we had one of my 'fireside chats' about his journey from 'just starting out' to making his living from the inside-out as a coach. And that’s what you’re g

#083 - Certainty about the impact you can have
12/10/2021 Duration: 51minI’m Jamie Smart - welcome to the podcast. And in this episode you’re going to be hearing something I’m really pleased to share with you. It’s a conversation I had with transformative coach David Bird, and here’s one of the things I think you’re going to find particularly interesting. The thing that motivated Birdey to explore the principles was this: he was already working as a hypnotherapist and coach, and he started attracting clients who he didn’t actually know whether or not he could help. He wanted to find a way to have more certainty about the impact he could have with his clients. At or recent ClarityLive event, we had people joining us from all over the world, and there was an incredible sense of community, with lots of profound insights. And the theme was 'Making your living from the inside out', so I wanted to spotlight people who are taking this understanding into the world in a variety of ways. I had ‘fireside chat’ conversations with four Clarity Coaches who have been having a big impact in th

#082 - Liz Scott - The wisdom is already there
08/10/2021 Duration: 51minI’m Jamie Smart - welcome to the podcast. And in this episode you’re going to be hearing something I’m very excited to share with you. It’s a conversation I had with the director of a community interest company, a CIC, who’s been putting the whole domain of wellbeing on the map in her local community. And here’s why I’m so excited about it... Last weekend, we had our ClarityLive event, and it really wonderful. We had people joining us from all over the world, and there was an incredible sense of community, with lots of profound insights. And the theme was 'Making your living from the inside out', so I wanted to spotlight people who are taking this understanding into the world in a variety of ways. One of the things we did was I had ‘fireside chat’ conversations with four Clarity Coaches who have been having a big impact in the world. And my idea for this was that we would be talking shop; the kind of conversation that I have with my colleagues over coffee, and that most people never get to hear. So in thi

#081 - The Art of Melting Objections and Concerns
04/08/2021 Duration: 55minWelcome to the podcast; I’m Jamie Smart. And I’m wondering... how would you like to be able to melt your clients' objections and concerns away in a way that's ethical, respectful & relationship-enhancing? Whether it's "I can't afford it", "It's not the right time" or "I'll go away and think about it"... I know so many coaches whose hearts sink when they hear these words. But they have the opposite effect on me. When I hear a client's concerns, my ears prick up and I start getting excited. Why? Because I LOVE objections and concerns, and I recorded this episode in the thriving coaches community to show you exactly why. By the way, this episode is brought to you by the Thriving Coaches Blueprint programme, my 90-day coaching intensive to help you get clients, grow your coaching business and make the difference you’re here to make. Doors close this Friday, August 6th, and you can learn more and register now at JamieSmart.com/thriving So here’s the episode...

#080 - Behind The scenes: Enrolling a 5-figure Package Client
04/08/2021 Duration: 45minWelcome to the podcast; I’m Jamie Smart, and I’ve got a question for you. What would you like to ask a 1:1 coaching client about their experience of being enrolled on a high-value, 5-figure coaching package? In this episode, you’re going to hear a conversation I had today with one of my 1:1 coaching clients, Nic Jarvis. Nic has kindly agreed to answer questions from members of our community about his experience of being enrolled on a high-value coaching package. This is super-valuable because most coaches never get to hear a client's perspective on the enrollment experience, so now's your chance to find out. Here are some of the questions Nic answered: Susanne Hake asked, “Was it uncomfortable for you at any point before, during or after? And if: what was the content about the uncomfortableness?” Angela Durrant asked “1)Did you already have the money to invest or did you find it? And 2) did you pay up front or ask for a payment plan? Was it comfortable or uncomfortable to meet the terms?” Alan Marti
