Hi. I’m Jamie Smart. Welcome to the podcast. This episode is called, “Wisdom Doesn’t Have Rules”, and it’s a recording from the Clarity Coaching Experience event we held last month. The theme for the event was focused on increasing your confidence as a coach, what I call “Impact Certainty”, and it was a great weekend. And one of the things we did was I had ‘fireside chat’ conversations with Clarity Coaches who are making a big difference in the world, and I picked their brains about their impact with their clients, and how this understanding has helped them increase that. So in this podcast, you’re going to be hearing one of those, a conversation I had with my dear friend and colleague, Sam Goldfinch.

Hi. I’m Jamie Smart. Welcome to the podcast. I’ve called this episode, “Coaching in the Midst of Crisis”, and it’s a recording from the Clarity Coaching Experience event we held earlier this month. The theme for the event was “Increasing your Impact Certainty” and it was a beautiful weekend. We had coaches joining us from all around the world, and there was a lovely sense of community, with lots of profound insights. And one of the things we did was I had ‘fireside chat’ conversations with Clarity Coaches who are making a big difference in the world, and I picked their brains about their impact with their clients, and how this understanding has helped them increase that. 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.

FSOC – The world needs the real you, more than ever

Posted on February 18, 2023 by Jamie Smart

As you probably already know, the 10th-anniversary edition of my book CLARITY has been in people’s hands for the last couple of weeks. I’ve spent a big chunk of the last few years working on this, and I’m excited to see how it lands.

In the past, I put a lot of energy into climbing the bestseller charts. It was a lot of fun, and I feel very grateful for all the support from my amazing community (CLARITY was a big number one & RESULTS made the Sunday Times bestseller list). Thank you!

This time, my aim is different.

FSOC – Magic mushrooms, mistakes & mystical experiences

Posted on February 4, 2023 by Jamie Smart

The 10th-anniversary edition of CLARITY is being well-received; it’s wonderful to see my Facebook feed filled with wonderful photos of people holding their copy of the book, and saying what a difference these principles have made in their lives.

One of the changes with the new edition is a “What the Research Says” section at the end of each chapter. This is a description of (and where possible, a link to) peer-reviewed articles and other research that will help you “read around” the principles behind clarity.

Because these principles aren’t yet part of the scientific mainstream, most research won’t refer directly to them. Nevertheless, each of these research elements will help you join the dots as you establish your own personal evidence base for what you’re learning.

Chapter 2 is called, “The Power of Insight”, and I thought you might enjoy the ‘What the Research Says” section at the end of it, as it references something gaining a lot of media attention recently: the whole domain of magic mushrooms and ‘psychedelic-assisted’ therapy. (excerpt from CLARITY ©2023 Jamie Smart, published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd):

FSOC – Artificial Intelligence and Clarity

Posted on January 28, 2023 by Jamie Smart

The world is changing fast – AI is going to transform almost every industry. Here’s a quick example…

My publishers drafted a press release for the new edition of CLARITY.

I wasn’t happy with it because it was written by someone who’s never read the book (understandably – Wiley publishes thousands of books each year, so the PR team isn’t going to be able to read all of them).

I needed to do a better one, so I tweaked it with some copy and paste from the introduction of the book, and came up with my own draft press release. Here’s where it gets interesting:

FSOC – Schizophrenia, burnout & fear of public speaking

Posted on January 20, 2023 by Jamie Smart

Q: What do schizophrenia, burnout & fear of public speaking have in common?

** a prevention & cure for all mental & most physical illness **

A few days ago, I was asked who the most insightful clinical psychologist on the planet was. My answer was immediate:

Dr William Pettit Jr.

Here’s what I wrote about him in the new edition of CLARITY:

FSOC – First sight of the new edition of CLARITY

Posted on January 7, 2023 by Jamie Smart

You see (speaking to you as an author), while there’s something cool about seeing ‘box-fresh’ copies of your book in a bookshop or arriving on your doorstep…

…there’s nothing quite like the feeling you get when you know something you’ve created has been thoroughly devoured…

…Like a chef seeing their plates being licked clean…

…Or a coach seeing their clients implementing what they’ve been working on…

So this week, after I put out a post on Facebook asking who wanted to be one of the very first people to read the new edition of CLARITY, I was immensely gratified when coach Cath Daley commented,

FSOC – You’ve got a tiger by the tail

Posted on December 19, 2022 by Jamie Smart

“You’ve got a tiger by the tail, my friend.”

I started having insights into the principles behind clarity in 2009, and wondered, “How can you surround yourself with people who are looking in this direction?”

I started travelling the world, connecting with, learning from and interviewing people whose lives had been profoundly impacted by this understanding.

One day, I was having a conversation with Dicken Bettinger and told him I’d realised these principles were the future of psychology; that I was all-in. He said something I found intriguing.

“You’ve got a tiger by the tail, my friend.”

I was puzzled by this curious statement. The principles had already had a profound and positive impact on my life. I was living in a beautiful feeling much of the time, and I was fired with a passion to share this understanding with the world. I was experiencing more peace, connection and well-being than ever.

What tiger?!?

13 years later, I think I understand what he meant.
