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.
#064 – KEYNOTE: NATO Defense College – The 3Ps meet the military – Get Clarity Podcast
Released 06th September 2022 Subscribe: Spotify | iTunes | Stitcher
Teaching subtractive psychology to the brass at NATO
Welcome to the podcast; I’m Jamie Smart, and I’ve really been looking forward to this one.
Last summer, in August 2021, I flew to Rome to deliver a keynote speech to 80 military and civilian personnel at the NATO Defense College.
My brief was to help them have greater clarity, less stress, more productivity and stronger professional relationships (the college has staff from 20 member states, so good communication is essential).
There was one problem: my contact warned me that the military personnel wouldn’t enjoy my talk. He explained these were experienced senior officers (colonels, generals etc) who already felt they had all the EQ they needed. He said they’d likely be checked out and checking their watches during my session.

FSOC – What’s the “inside” bit of “inside-out”?
Happy Friday
I’m still in Portugal working on the 2nd edition of CLARITY. I talk a lot in the book about the inside-out understanding, so one of the things I’ve decided to do in the new edition is define “inside” and “outside” as clearly as I can.
FSOC – The morphine of self-improvement
I’m still in Portugal, writing the 2nd edition of CLARITY: Clear Mind, better Performance, Bigger Results, and at the moment, I’m working on Chapter 18 – Penicillin for the Mind. It starts with this line:
“There’s nothing in this world that you can’t turn into heroin…”
FSOC – Planting seeds in Portugal
I’ve re-located to Portugal for 3 weeks to write the 2nd edition of my first book, CLARITY: Clear Mind, Better Performance, Bigger Results.
FSOC – Love and Understanding
I’m away on holiday this week so I’m sharing a very brief Friday Shot of Clarity, in preparation for Valentine’s day on Monday. See, when Sydney Banks was asked what the essence of the 3 Principles was, he’d always say the same thing…

#063 – Living a Beautiful Life with Jan and Chip Chipman – Get Clarity Podcast
Released 27th January 2022 Subscribe: Spotify | iTunes | Stitcher
Welcome to the podcast. I’m delighted to present this episode, “Living a Beautiful Life” with Jan and Chip Chipman. The theme for the ClarityLive conference it was recorded at was “How to make 2022 your most beautiful year yet” and it was really lovely. We had people joining us from all around the world, and there was a great sense of community, with lots of profound realisations.
And one of the highlights of the weekend was my session with my dear friends, mentors, colleagues and collaborators, Jan and Chip Chipman. Jan, Chip and I met nearly 13 years ago and have been friends ever since. We’ve run retreats together in the Canary Islands and mainland Spain. They spent years being mentored by Sydney Banks, and one of the things you’re going to love about this conversation is the feeling they bring. Chip also tells me favourite Syd Banks story in this session, so I hope you enjoy that too.
FSOC – The Art of Transformation
I’m getting ready to kick off the last ever Clarity Certification Training programme next weekend, so I thought I’d devote this article to some of the insights and realisations that have made such a difference to me and my clients in our personal and professional journeys.
