Another week, and I’m still getting hit with bursts of enthusiasm. Let me know what you think via twitter at @jamiesmartcom, on my Facebook page here, or on my blog here.
The writer / linguist / scientist / political activist / MIT Professor Noam Chomsky is someone whose opinions and commentary I find very wise and insightful. Here’s one I read from him this week: Read More →
I’m interested in the truest part of me… talking to the truest part of them and I have faith… that when that part of them, that true self… awakens even in a glimmer… that they’ll have a profound understanding of where their thinking has been, where their life has been…”

In last week’s article, I shared an annotated transcript of a 20-minute coaching session I did with coach Liz Scott around how to transition from hourly rates to a “package” model. Then something amazing happened. Liz came back to me with her commentary about what was going on during the session, and it’s wonderful. In all the years I’ve been coaching people, I’ve never had this experience, so I wanted to share it with you. I’ve reproduced the first page of Liz’s commentary below. I spent most of the first half of the session getting connected with Liz, calibrating her and dealing with some of her more “tactical” questions. Here’s a juicy excerpt from the second half of our conversation, where we dive a lot deeper… Read More →

Potential clients can pick up on your confidence (or lack of it) in your ability as a coach. Being able to have a transformational impact with your clients isn’t just what people pay you for; it’s one of the things that “telegraphs” your abilities to potential clients. Read More →

Last month, you may have seen a video I sent out of a breakthrough coaching session I did with coach Liz Scott around how to transition from hourly rates to a “package” model. I got a big response to the video, with lots of curiosity about how I managed to guide Liz into such a big shift in such a short period of time. So… I decided to get the entire session transcribed, and then to go through it, line by line, and make notes about what was going on. Specifically, what I was noticing, what I was responding to, and what was guiding my questions. I’ve reproduced the first page of the annotated transcript below, and if you’re a geek like me and want to download the full 10-page annotated transcript, you can get it at www.JamieSmart.com/transcript as my gift to you (you can watch the 20-minute video here www.JamieSmart.com/transcript at the same time). Here’s the first page… Read More →

I’m nursing some aches and pains after spending the weekend in Dublin with my eldest daughter, Tilly, taking part in what is probably the world’s leading self-defence intensive. Tilly turned 17 this year, and as she ventures out into the world on her own, it’s important that she learn how to take care of herself. Patrick Cumiskey of Krav Maga Ireland teaches the intensive; a programme he’s been refining for over 10 years. In that time, he’s taught over 45,000 people, including civilians, police and special forces combatants. Patrick attended one of my courses 10 years ago, and I was fascinated by how he was using accelerated learning to teach people to defend themselves, so I attended his programme. The impact was so enormous that I ended up telling the story in my new book to point you to your innate capacity for creating results. In this article you’re going to be introduced to your inner results-creator. Read More →
