Over the past week, I’ve been releasing a series of free videos for coaches as part of the launch of a programme I’ve created called The Thriving Coaches Blueprint. Each video has a particular theme, and video 2 is called “Engaging Conversations: Finding Clients (And Beyond)”

It may seem too obvious to be worth mentioning, but coaching and therapy are “conversation businesses”. Conversations are like the “delivery system” for the coach to have an impact, and conversation is the vehicle for engagement and enrolment of your client. Read More →

“A new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive
and move toward higher levels.”
– Albert Einstein

Last week, I received this email from a man called Lloyd who I’ve never met:

“I want to thank you personally, I had a heart attack in February of this year. I was struggling with depression and anxiety. I watch the short video about anxiety and made a positive shift in my life. I was going to therapy for six months and it didn’t help as much as watching a 2 minute video. Thank you with all my heart.” Read More →

This is one of my favourite quotes of all time. It’s by Rumi, the Sufi poet, and it’s one of the quotes I’ve posted on my instagram account. You can follow me there and get daily quotes at @jamiesmartcom (www.Instagram.com/jamiesmartcom)

“Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.”

2. A great documentary about an extraordinary performer
I’m watching the heart-wrenching documentary ‘Little Girl Blue’ about Janis Joplin, blues singer extraordinaire. Excellent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oRLyBgz8W0 Read More →

JST 199 – How to explain what you do

Posted on October 31, 2017 by Eugenia Zelaya

“Who you are speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you’re saying.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

One of the things lots of people struggle with when they’re doing something new is how to explain it to other people. This often seems to be a particular challenge for people who have transitioned to doing something they’re passionate about (E.g. coaches, therapists, trainers, facilitators and other transformation professionals). In this article, I’m going to share a powerful distinction that can help you talk to anyone about whatever you do, from friends and family members to TV interviewers and Fortune 500 CEOs.

We’re half-way through a new experiment I kicked off last week – a free online programme called “10 Days to Your Profitable Coaching Practice”. People are having fantastic insights and realisations, and the level of engagement is really high. In this article, I dive into lesson five from the course, looking at what I call “Transformational Impact” (the thing your clients pay you for). Whether you’re a transformation professional or not, you’re going to discover that the 10 lessons I cover on the course apply to almost everyone (at least, with a little creativity). If you want to jump on board and get access to all 10 lessons (including audio, video and live Q&A), head over to www.JamieSmart.com/live for your free place. Read More →
