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
Each day, I’m posting some of my favourite quotes to Instagram, ably assisted by Bred (the newest member of #TeamClarity). This week’s quote comes from Ralph Nader, and has been particularly popular on my Instagram page (you can see it on Instagram here: https://instagram.com/p/BYYDN6Zjuq4/ ). It’s also giving me plenty of food for thought, as we’re getting ready to launch the 5th annual Clarity Coach Training Programme. Here’s the quote:
“Leaders don’t create followers; they create more leaders.”

And yes, I appreciate the irony 🙂 But then again, I’m particularly enthusiastic about irony!
2. A podcast I’m pumped about
This week sees the first episode of the Profitable Coaches Podcast. In this show, I do a coaching session, either with a full-time employee who wants to transition to work that’s more fulfilling and on-purpose for them, or with a coach who wants to grow their practice.
In this first episode of the show, I coach Russell Davis, a performance and mind coach. Russell works with his clients using a coaching package model, but he noticed that he wasn’t always offering potential clients the size of package he really thought they needed. It turns out that the reason was because of fear of rejection, judgment and criticism. At the start of the session Russell said he wanted to play a bigger game, so that he could inspire his clients to do the same. During the session we explored the whole domain of courage, and Russell discovered that his challenge wasn’t the one he thought it was!

3. This week’s glimpse of the future
Scientists have edited human embryos to safely remove disease for the first time. Using CRISPR technology, scientists are effectively ‘cutting and pasting’ DNA to eliminate devastating diseases. While there are obvious (and not so obvious) ethical implications to be considered, this is still amazing stuff!

4. An interview I was really touched by
Professional footballer Lewis Buxton and I were both interviewed by wealth educator Hither Mann earlier this month. Lewis is one of my clients (he recently completed the Clarity Coach Training Programme), but as you’ll see, I’d never heard the story of how he first found out about the principles behind clarity. I was really touched (it’s a lovely story). I’m interviewed at the beginning, and then Lewis’ story starts at 4:34. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtjh1mNeCaI
5. This week’s 3 minute miracle
It seems like a million years ago that I first heard the dulcet tones of Evan Dando singing “It’s a Shame About Ray” in the Lemonheads’ classic. It was actually 25 years ago, but it still sounds as fresh as the day it was released. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFYFj5q8_Qk&list=RDMUpM9fJaT28&index=15
By the way, the annual Certified Clarity Coach Training programme starts next weekend, September 9th & 10th. We’ve got people joining us live in London as well as from around the world (via our state-of-the-art live-streaming facility). Whether you’re already a coach, considering becoming one or just want to get the benefits of a deep grounding in the principles behind clarity, this is a life-changing programme.
The price goes up at midnight tomorrow, so if you’ve been considering joining us, the time has come. You can find all the details and get your application in here: https://www.jamiesmart.com/clarity-coach-training-sh/
That’s it for this week!
