Welcome to Jamie Smart’s Blog: Free articles & videos on Clarity & CLARITY

This blog is for helping you to see through a misunderstanding that stops people from creating the results they want, and from living a life they love. It’s responsible for many of the problems we experience as individuals, in organisations and as an entire species. Please don’t take my word for it; instead, I invite you to explore the materials here, make up your own mind, and start experiencing the benefits in your life. Here you will find free articles & videos on Clarity.

TTE 115 – Hope, Heroes and Holacracy

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
When I read this passage in an interview with the Dalai Lama, my heart leapt. It looks to me like the principles behind clarity deliver on what he intuitively senses here:

“My main hope is eventually, in modern education field, introduce education about warm-heartedness, not based on religion, but based on common experience and a common sort of sense, and then scientific finding.” Read More →

JST 193 – How to cultivate an audience of people who want to work with you

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”
– Ancient Chinese Proverb

Every couple of weeks I get a call from someone trying to fill an empty training programme, and asking if I can send the details out to my audience. But their issue is inevitably this: they haven’t developed a strong relationship with their audience. So here’s the broad outline I think through when I’m ready to start cultivating relationships with a new group of people. This is the approach I used when I grew an email list of over 80,000 people starting in 2003, and it’s the approach I use today.

NB. The whole process is based on the idea that we each live in a separate, Thought-generated perceptual reality. Understanding the *fact* of this is crucial to understanding how to build an audience / tribe. The number one mistake I see most people making when it comes to getting clients is this: they communicate based on what *they* value instead of what their prospective *client* values.
Here’s how I think about it… Read More →

Hand on heart

Last weekend was the first weekend of the Certified Clarity Coach Training programme, and hand on heart I can say it’s the best opening weekend we’ve ever had.

The participants felt the same way, and you can see just some of the comments they posted about their experience below. I’m so excited about what the next 10 months are going to bring for each and every one of us on the journey, and hopeful about the future as we each play our part in sharing the principles behind clarity.

TTE 114 – Denial, robots and procreation

It’s enthusiasm time again. Let me know what you think via twitter at @JamieSmartCom, on my Facebook page, or on my blog here.

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
I was listening to Sam Harris’ excellent ‘Waking Up’ podcast this week, and he was interviewing the German philosopher Thomas Metzinger. Metzinger made a point which really struck me, and that’s had me reflecting on just how good we’ve got it.

“Most of the conscious wild animals have two preferences: one is to live as long as possible and the second is to procreate. But 90% of them get eaten before they can even procreate.” Read More →

PCP 02: Nicky Bartley – You are enough

Released 13 September 2017 Subscribe: iTunes | Stitcher

In this episode, I coach Nicky Bartley around reducing the number of 1:1 clients she’s working with as she simplifies her life. This means working with fewer clients, but in a deeper, longer-term way. In the process, we end up exploring the whole question of “Am I enough?”, a doubt that many coaches share. Nicky is a coach who works with a wide range of clients from individuals with panic attacks and anxiety to helping entrepreneurs and businesses with a variety of issues. And one of the interesting things about Nicky is that she helps coaches and other transformation professionals around the whole area of visibility.

JST 192 – The Only Two Problems You’re Ever Up Against

“Overthinking: the art of creating problems that aren’t even there.”
Internet meme

As you may already be aware, I spent last weekend kicking off the first ever Clarity Mentoring Programme, and the annual Certified Clarity Coach Training. One of the things that really had a big impact for people was when I told them that all my clients arrive with the same two challenges. So I decided to share this excerpt from my Sunday Times bestselling book, RESULTS: Think Less, Achieve More (©2016 Jamie Smart, published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd): Read More →

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week

“Fear is peeing your pants.
Courage is doing what you’re supposed to do with wet pants.”
– An anonymous drill sergeant

I’ve just started posting content on LinkedIn, so I thought I’d give you a taste of the kind of thing I’m doing there. So without further ado, here’s Getting Out of Your Depth (Or “How to succeed by throwing yourself into situations where you don’t know what you’re doing”)
