Welcome to the podcast.  In this episode you’re going to be hearing the next of my ‘fireside chat’ conversations with a Clarity Coach who’s having a big impact in their clients lives. And my idea for these conversations is that we’d be talking shop; the kind of conversation that I have with my colleagues over coffee, and that most coaches never get to hear. So in this podcast, you’re going to be hearing a conversation I had with bestselling author, speaker and coach, Nick Bottini.   And by the way, I’m running a series of masterclasses for coaches in the Thriving Coaches Community on Facebook. They’re totally free, and our next mini-masterclass is on impostor syndrome, and the one after that is on transforming your money-mindset. So just head over to the Thriving Coaches Community on Facebook and I’ll see you there.   So now to the episode. 

I’m Jamie Smart - welcome to the podcast. And in this episode, you’re going to be hearing another of my ‘fireside chat’ conversations with a Clarity Coach who’s having a big impact in their client's lives. The idea for these chats is that you’ll hear us talking shop; the kind of conversation that I have with my colleagues over dinner, and that most people never get to hear. So in this podcast, you’re going to be hearing a conversation I had with Clarity Coach Ann Bridges.   Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are now open for the January 2022 intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme. And you can save up to £3000 when you book your place by this Wednesday, June 30th. Just go to www.JamieSmart.com/coach    So now to the episode. 

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 Coaches who have been having a big impact in their clients lives. 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 this podcast, you’re going to be hearing the first one of those, a conversation I had with coach and trainer, Chris Jackson. Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are now open for the January 2022 intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme. And you can save up to £3000 when you book your place by this Wednesday, June 30th. Just go to www.Jami

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 yourself in your *client's* shoes and get a new perspective on what it looks, sounds and feels like to go through the enrolment process. Here are some of the questions our community wanted answers to: Tim Coe’s question was, “What could I have done that would have totally blown your socks off?” Michaela Lambert asked, “Was this a no-brainer for your client? Did they feel any resistence? If not, why not? If so, what was it that ultimately helped you see the value in the offer?” Lianne Ebbinkhuijsen’s question was, "What made it possible for you /what felt important to you in order to be more receptive to take on Jamie

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 question because, rather than having a pre-planned answer, I got the chance to *discover* what I’d do as I reflected on the question and wove in some of the other questions people asked.   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 business and make the difference you’re here to make. Doors close on Friday, March 12th, and you can learn more and register now at www.JamieSmart.com/thriving.   So without further ado, here’s my answer to the question, “How would you get clients and grow a thriving practice if you were

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 space to work on one of my passion projects, a book JUST for coaches, therapists and transformation professionals, focused on helping you get clients and grow your practice.   By the way, this episode of the podcast is brought to you by the Thriving Coaches Business Masterclass series. In this free video-training series, you’re going to learn the specific steps you need to take to grow a successful coaching or therapy practice grounded in authenticity and service so you can make your living doing what you love: making a difference to others.   The series started on Friday March 5th, and we’ve got live sessions happeni

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 while working on her online business. And as I work with her, you'll hear me demonstrating the language of connection to 'get her world' and find my way into a deeper connection with her. Angela's one of the people on my current Thriving Coaches Blueprint programme, so she's already had some breakthroughs in her coaching practice. So she decided to be particularly brave and dive into a topic that she's never discussed publicly before.   So here's the episode...   PS So a few days after we recorded this coaching demo, Angela sent me a Facebook message. Here's what she said:   My Experience Of The Coaching was that

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”. Matt’s a father himself, and he’s passionate about supporting dads to really be there in their children’s lives. In fact, many of his coaching clients are entrepreneurs who are also dads and want to experience more clarity and heart in their work and in their lives as a whole. So about a month ago, Matt mentioned that he was planning to do the ‘Heart of Dad’ summit, an event where he was going to interview coaches and teachers who have had an impact in Matt’s life, and who are also fathers. Many of these people are dear friends and colleagues of mine, guys like Dicken Bettinger, Dr Bill Pettit, Amir Karkou

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 where it’s been.” In Project Gretsky, my team and I look to the future, and make guesses about where the world’s heading, how we can best guide our clients and how we can inspire and educate a generation to experience lives of clarity, resilience and wellbeing. It’s how we ended up developing our state of the art live-streaming facility, as well as a number of other innovations we’ve got in the pipeline. So during last night’s Laser-coaching / Q&A session, one of our ClarityPro members (Andrea Bruno) asked a question that stopped me in my tracks. Andrea said he was thinking about Project Gretsky, and thought

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 fundamentals coaches can benefit from when trying to grow a successful practice.   Questions like:  How to create a ‘business profile’ so people understand what it is you offer Should you stick to your guns charging high fees, or lower your prices to make it easier for clients to enrol Questions about cutting through all the ‘noise’ on social media How to break through an ‘earning ceiling’, from someone who had limiting beliefs about how much they could earn   The cool thing is this: each of these questions gave me an opportunity to point back to the fundamentals of growing a coaching practice, because once you un
