The Profitable Coaches Podcast

This week, I’d love to share a clip from a recent masterclass exploring how our everyday personality can align with who we truly are. Here’s what’s inside: - Why the spark of who you really are never disappears, no matter how disconnected you feel. - Seeing beyond old illusions of ugliness or brokenness within. - A simple shift that lines up your personality with peace and possibility. - An illuminating diagram (courtesy of my beloved Emma McDevitt) highlighting the relationship between the truth of our being, our unique qualities and our ego identity. If you’re listening to the audio version and want to see the diagram, you can watch the video here: https://youtu.be/4eJbNoZ2yB8 “You might call it source energy, or god, or divine intelligence… Bohm calls it the implicate order [...[ Your soul or spirit - however you wanna think about it - that’s a local  instantiation in you of that universal divinity.”  Tons of love, Jamie

On Monday, I hosted a masterclass called Speaking Behind the Mask, and it was incredible to see how much this resonated with people. I’ve decided to share this clip from the recording for anyone who wants to explore how to speak in a way that connects the true self in you to the true self in your audience. Here’s a taste of what you’ll discover in this episode: What “speaking behind the mask” really means - and why it’s so important for a speech to be transformative. The role of the beautiful feeling - and how it can shape the natural flow of your conversation. A shift from pushing content to creating a space where insights unfold - and transformation happens effortlessly. If you’re looking to have deeply impactful conversations and help others reconnect with their inner wisdom, this episode is for you.

Earlier this month, I had the privilege of speaking at a Masterclass hosted by my dear friend Simon Paine, co-founder of the Rebel Business School. Simon is a Clarity Coach and a successful entrepreneur in his own right, and it’s always a pleasure to speak with his community. One of the highlights of the session was a live coaching demo I did with Evie, who shared her struggles with imposter syndrome and her dream of stepping into her full potential. What unfolded was one of those transformative conversations that cuts through noise and gets to the heart of what really holds us back - and what’s possible when we trust the wisdom within. In this week’s podcast episode, you’ll discover: Why imposter syndrome is nothing more than a case of mistaken identity - and how to see past it. The truth about fear and courage How to uncover the path life is calling you to take (the one your heart already knows), even when your head doubts it. After our session, Evie sent me a heartfelt email about her experience. With he

This week, I’m sharing a reflection on a topic that’s fascinated me for a long time: vision, purpose, and the question of goals. Once we come into contact with the principles understanding, many of us discover that happiness isn’t tied to achieving goals, and this realization can be incredibly freeing.  But sometimes, we risk throwing the baby out with the bathwater, thinking that if life doesn’t need to look a certain way for us to be okay, then goals don’t matter at all. It turns out that (as with most things) there are subtleties at play here. In this session, I explore: Why your dreams, heart’s desires, and creative impulses are a vital expression of life itself. How honoring your purpose and collaborating with life can lead to clarity and direction in surprising ways. A recent breakthrough my team and I had when we reconnected with the wisdom and intelligence within us—and how it’s shaping our work. It turns out that when it comes to the goals that are deeply aligned with who you most truly are a

A while ago, I was asked a bold question: “How do you know that people have innate health and wellbeing? How do you know this is true?” It’s a question I’ve spent years exploring, and here’s the thing: There are no sacred cows in this understanding. If you’re familiar with my work, you’ll know I often reference the principles behind clarity.  These principles don’t require belief or blind faith—if they’re “true” then they should be there to be seen, so they’re fair game to be tested, questioned, and explored deeply. This week’s podcast episode is all about that. It’s an extract from a call in one of my advanced programs, where we explore: The two ways I’ve come to know these principles are true—through personal insight and universal application. A powerful story that illustrates how realization can instantly align us with reality. Why the principles of clarity, wellbeing, and resilience aren’t just ideas—they’re foundational truths that hold up to scrutiny. I hope this extract inspires you to test the

You’ve probably heard me say this before:  the two most important things a person can realize are: How your experience is created Who you really are During a recent event, “Get Unstuck and On-Track,” I shared how these insights apply directly to breaking free from feeling stuck and moving forward with clarity. Why misunderstandings about where your experience comes from keep you stuck. How reconnecting to who you really are can bring the clarity, freedom, and ease to get back on track. A simple yet powerful formula for unsticking yourself (it’s easier than you might think). If you’ve ever felt like something is holding you back - whether it’s in your work, relationships, or life - this episode will give you a fresh perspective that can make all the difference. Tons of love, Jamie PS - Thanks to Roberto Talarico for organizing this online event!  

I hope the new year is off to a wonderful start for you. This week, I’m sharing a coaching demo where Roberto opens up about a challenge many of us face: feeling disconnected in relationships and life. In this session, we explored: Why the experience of connection comes and goes What you can rely on that’s deeper and *always* present How resisting the feeling of disconnection can actually give it power The surprising insight that shifted Roberto’s perspective—and might shift yours, too If you’ve ever felt “out of connection” and judged yourself for it, this clip is a powerful reminder that both connection and disconnection are valuable signals. ---  

This week, I’m sharing a powerful coaching demo from one of my group sessions that explores a challenge so many of us face: bringing our work into the world. In this clip, Tracey—a coach and author—shares her struggle with launching her book. Despite having written it, she feels stuck, held back by doubts like “Does the world need another book?” and fears about what might happen once it’s out there. What unfolded during our conversation reveals something essential for anyone wanting to share their gifts with the world: The connection between our fears and the very gifts we’re called to share. What to align with so you can unlock the energy to move forward. I also share one of my favorite poems that captures the essence of why your work matters. If you’ve ever hesitated to put yourself out there, I think you’ll find this episode relatable—and inspiring. I hope this demo reminds you that the world does need your gifts - and you have everything you need to share them.

A few weeks ago, I asked a group of coaches what they most wanted to improve in their practice. The top answer? Getting better at enrolling clients. That’s why this week, I’m sharing a short extract from my ClarityPro programme, where we dive into what I call Deep Enrollment. Deep Enrollment isn’t just about ‘signing people up’—it’s about connecting with something else entirely… An ‘X-factor’ that’s deeply authentic, profound and highly motivating.  Because let’s face it; if someone’s going to invest their time, their money and their energy in working with you at a deep level, it’s got to be for something that really matters to them.  And here’s the most surprising aspect of it: you need to eat your own cooking first. Before you can ‘deeply enroll’ your client, you need to deeply enroll yourself! In this episode, I share:  The ‘X-factor’ that’s essential for enrolling clients at a deep level  A personal story of how I hit a wall when trying to teach this concept—and the realization that got me unstuck.  Simp

In today's episode, I’m sharing a simple but profound coaching demo from a recent workshop. During this session, you’ll hear Morag, a coach, open up about a “marketing problem.” She’d been struggling to connect with a key organization, feeling stuck on how to communicate the value of her work in a way that truly landed with them. Together, we explored what I know to be the two essential things you have to have before a client will decide to enroll with you. By the end of the session, Morag had a powerful realization - one that could shift your perspective on how to engage potential clients, too. I won’t spoil the surprise here, but I’m confident you’ll find plenty of value in listening to the coaching session. What I love about this demo is how relatable it is. Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience, we’ve all faced moments where we’ve felt stuck or unsure of how to approach or connect with the people we’d love to work with. ---

  When the event hosts asked me to deliver the final keynote speech at this year’s Viva Event, I asked them what gift they’d love the participants to walk away from the conference with. Their answer inspired the title of my talk: Troubleshooting Enlightenment - How to Keep the Feeling Alive When You’re Back in the Real World. During the talk, I shared: What gets in the way of that feeling staying with you, How to 'reconnect' to the principles, even in the midst of life’s challenges, Practical insights to help you keep showing up with clarity and ease, and Insights for those looking to share the 3Ps professionally. So I invite you to ask *yourself* this question if you've ever wondered where the feeling goes: Q: How do you keep ‘the beautiful feeling’ alive when you're back in the real world? This is exactly what today’s episode is all about, featuring the full recording of my keynote. When I listened to the recording myself, I picked up on the Viva vibe of fun and playfulness throughout the episode. As well

In today’s brief (7 min) podcast, we’ll dive into an intriguing question from one of my advanced programs—and into an answer that I believe reveals the #1 skill for creating deep, transformational impact. Together, we’ll explore: The True Self: How do you explain to someone who they truly are? Beyond Words: Why words often fall short (and what to do instead) The Art of Connection: The importance of becoming a connoisseur of connection Fractionation: A fancy word for how Syd Banks used to ease people into the experience of their deeper selves Q: Are you a coach, thought leader, or change-worker looking to boost confidence, enroll clients with more ease and have a bigger impact? After 26+ years of research and training thousands of changeworkers, I believe this is your biggest (and perhaps counterintuitive) leverage point. Enjoy the episode! 

Q: Want to really support others, the world, and yourself through the US election aftermath? With the US election results fresh on everyone’s minds, there’s been a palpable wave of emotions echoing across social media and personal conversations—some are celebrating, while others feel deeply unsettled. Even many folks outside the USA are feeling it, with some conversations turning to confusion, disbelief, and fear. In today’s rapid-fire 7-minute podcast episode, we dive into how to navigate emotionally charged situations—whether you're struggling yourself or supporting someone who is. And even if you're feeling great, there’s an opportunity here to embrace empathy and understanding. Here’s a taste of what we'll cover: How media keeps us hooked by amplifying fear and uncertainty. Emotional reactions like shock, disbelief, grief, fear, and anger—and how they might be showing up. How seeing "separate realities" in this aftermath can help you deepen your understanding of how our human experience works. How the po

Hi. I’m Jamie Smart. Welcome to the podcast. As you may know, I've long been fascinated with exponential technology and its impact on us and our world. With that in mind, I've decided that in this season of the 'The Thriving Coaches' podcast, I'm going to be having conversations with people who can share insights to help us navigate this rapidly changing landscape from a psychological and spiritual perspective.   My first guest is Jeff Booth, a friend whose work I've been exploring for several years. Jeff is a bestselling author, tech entrepreneur and a very deep thinker. He's one of the founding partners of "Ego Death Capital", a fund for investing in technology startups, and Jeff coaches and mentors the tech entrepreneurs and teams the fund invests in.    And here's the thing that had me realise he'll be a great guest for the podcast.   I was reading his superb book, "The Price of Tomorrow", and many of the things he said let me know that Jeff understands something worth knowing about who we really are. The

Hi. I’m Jamie Smart. Welcome to the podcast. In this episode, you’re going to hear a conversation I had with my good friend and colleague, Ankush Jain. Ankush is a life and business coach, he’s a consultant, a proud father, a published author, a podcast host and a public speaker. As you’ll hear, he’s on a mission to raise the consciousness of the planet through changing the coaching industry. And one of the vehicles he’s using for this is his Coaching Career School which he launched in 2022, helping coaches grow impactful, ethical and sustainable practices.   Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that the doors are now open for the September 2024 intake of our flagship Clarity Certification Training programme.    Clarity Certification is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (the ICF) as a provider of Continuous Coach Education, so if you’re already an ICF-certified coach, you can use the programme to earn CCE units. Either way, you can take part in CCT with full confidence that the pr

Hi. I’m Jamie Smart. Welcome to the podcast. This episode is a coaching demo I did with Clarity Coach Jan Harte around weight loss and limiting beliefs. The demo itself took place during my Clarity Advanced Coach & Facilitator Programme, and only lasted 20 minutes, but it’s followed by a 4-minute follow-up I did with Jan a year later (just a few weeks ago). As you’ll hear, the impact of the coaching session was profoundly transformational. Just before we get to that, I wanted to mention that on Friday May 10th, I’m getting together with a group of coaches to look at the fundamentals of belief-change, so you can increase your impact-confidence, dissolve limiting beliefs & transform lives (including your own). Here’s what we’re going to be exploring together:   You’re going to learn the fundamentals of working with limiting beliefs, so you’re standing on solid ground as you discern what’s really going on for your client. As a result, you’ll be able to increase your impact-confidence and make a bigger

Hi. I’m Jamie Smart. Welcome to the podcast. This episode is a coaching demonstration I did at one of my recent “Coaching Impact Accelerator” workshops. The Coaching Impact Accelerators are taster sessions for people who are seriously considering joining one of my larger programmes to have an experience of what it’s like to work with me. The sessions include a variety of elements, including a coaching demo with one of the participants. The demo you’re about to hear was with Caroline Delaney, a Mental Health and Wellbeing Educator who wanted to get clarity on purpose and direction in her work life. And as you’ll hear, what started out seeming like it was about “practical stuff” turned out to be about something much deeper that affects many coaches and changeworkers; the question about whether or not they’re good enough. It turns out that the “Am I good enough?” question typically includes a confusion of two categories: skill-level and identity-level.   After the session, Caroline wrote to me about it, saying,

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.  Sam is an educator, a coach, and an explorer in the field of spirituality, transpersonal psychology and addiction. His work takes him many places, but at the core of it is setting people free so they can see the beauty of who they really are. His podcast 'Present & Sober' is one of his deep passions, as ar

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. So in this podcast, you’re going to be hearing one of those, a conversation I had with my dear friend and colleague, Mahima Shrestha. Now, you may have seen an amazing conversatio
