#036 – MASTERCLASS: Finding your bearings in turbulent times – Get Clarity Podcast

Released 30th March 2020 Subscribe: iTunes | Stitcher

I’m Jamie Smart – welcome to the podcast. You don’t need me to tell you that, as I record this, we’re living through a time of extreme volatility and uncertainty. One aspect of that is the coronavirus and its health impacts. Another aspect is the societal and economic impacts of our response to the pandemic. But the third, and for many people the most troubling aspect is the psychological and emotional distress that people are dealing with in relation to all this.

This week’s podcast is a recording of an online masterclass I did recently called “Finding your bearings in turbulent times.”

Released 27th February 2020 Subscribe: iTunes | Stitcher

This episode is a re-release of an interview from last summer, but as you’ll hear, it’s a conversation with a difference, because rather than me interviewing someone, it’s me *being* interviewed for The Coaching Show, by ICF Master Coach Christopher McAuliffe and his colleague Alex Terranova.

#034 – Addiction, Compulsion and Habits (and the solution to all of them) with Dr Mark Howard – Get Clarity Podcast

Released 19th December 2019 Subscribe: iTunes | Stitcher

The conversation you’re about to hear is one I had with my dear friend and colleague, Dr Mark Howard just before we recorded an ‘Impact Kit’ for my ClarityPro members.

Mark is a licensed psychologist who’s spent *decades* sharing the principles with people to help them recover from addictions.

As such, he’s probably the most experienced person on the planet when it comes to sharing the principles to help people break free from life-damaging habits and compulsions.

In this episode you’re going to hear a coaching demo I did in front of an audience with a client suffering from what she described as narcissistic abuse.

Do the principles represent the the future of psychology?

I’m Jamie Smart, and what you’re about to hear is me being interviewed by the author Amir Karkouti, the creator of the What The F*#$ Are The Principles? group.

In this conversation I make the case for why the principles behind clarity (as realised & articulated by Syd Banks) represent the future of psychology. We cover quite a lot of ground in this session including:

#027 – Setting the foundations for a 1:1 coaching intensive – Thriving Coaches Podcast

Released 21th October 2019 Subscribe: iTunes | Stitcher

This episode is something I’m really excited to share with you. It’s an excerpt from a one-off event I ran two years ago, called “The 1:1 Coaching Intensive Unpacked”. Here’s the backstory: As you may be aware, one of the way I love to work with my clients is by doing a 3-day, 1:1 coaching intensive. I find that the intensive format means you can achieve in a few days what would previously have taken a whole year to accomplish, so it’s a really powerful format.

So in my book RESULTS, one of the chapters included a story about the time one of my apprentices, the coach Ankush Jain, sat in and observed while I did a 3-day 1:1 Intensive with a client, so he could have an experience of what it’s like to do an intensive.

#024 – TCP INTERVIEW: The Coaching Show – Thriving Coaches Podcast

Released 15th August 2019 Subscribe: iTunes | Stitcher

This episode is a little different, because rather than me interviewing someone, it’s me *being* interviewed for The Coaching Show, by Master Coach Christopher McAuliffe and another coach, Alex Terranova. And this was an interesting one.

As you’ll hear, it was pretty fast-paced, and I really enjoyed the challenge of making the value and approach involved in principles based coaching explicit to a couple of experienced coaches who were brand new to the subject.

#015 – DEMO: Social Anxiety and Awakening the True Self – Thriving Coaches Podcast

Released 6th Dec 2018 Subscribe: iTunes | Stitcher

Last weekend was module 3 of the 10-month Clarity Coach Training programme. On the very first module, back in September, I did a 1:1 coaching session with Anna Foakes. Anna is a therapist who’s passionate about making a difference to her clients, but who experienced stress and “social anxiety” when she was in larger groups of people. She volunteered to do a coaching demo with me, and it turned it to be fascinating for a number of reasons:

#014 – The Fundamentals of Clarity Coaching – Thriving Coaches Podcast

Released 31st Oct 2018 Subscribe: iTunes | Stitcher

In this episode of the Thriving Coaches Podcast, you’re going to hear the introduction to a session that I did at the Realising Potential Conference.

You’ll hear me lay out my approach to coaching people from a principles-based understanding. What I also explain is why coaching from this understanding is so different to how I used to coach (when I was an NLP coach) and to how a lot of people approach coaching. So if you’re interested in moving to coaching from a principles understanding this might be particularly interesting to you.
