In this episode, you’re going to hear a conversation I had on the subject of happiness and wellbeing with one of my dear friends and colleagues, Rita Shuford. And here’s how I met Rita…

In 2011, I kicked off a one-year programme called ‘3 Principles University’.

We had a wonderful group of students, and every month or so, we had a different principles teacher spend the weekend with us, sharing their understanding.

My good friend and colleague, Sandy Krot was scheduled to do the November weekend (on Leadership), and when she arrived, she had a friend with her: Rita Shuford.

Rita was the person who’d introduced Sandy to the principles, so I was super-curious to hear her story.

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

Released 21th October 2019 Subscribe: Spotify | 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.

#029 – Mind-blowingly weird: the strangest fact about your perception – Get Clarity Podcast

Posted on September 27, 2019 by Jamie Smart

Released 27th September 2019 Subscribe: Spotify | iTunes | Stitcher

What you’re about to hear is an excerpt from a Masterclass I did a few years back during the Clarity Certification Training. You’re about to discover something mind-blowingly weird: it’s quite literally the strangest fact about your perception, and it blows me away every time i think of it. And it’s going to be particularly useful to you if you’ve ever said, “I know it’s just my thinking but…” – I hear that a lot from people when it’s clear to me that they don’t know it’s got much if anything to do with thinking. You’re also going to find it useful if you want to know the difference between thoughts, thinking and the power of Thought.

By the way, our flagship programme, the Clarity Certification Training is now open for enrolment and you can save up to £3,000 by getting one of the Super-Earlybird places that are available until this Monday, 30th September. A few things worth knowing…

This episode is a brief coaching demo. In fact it got turned around in under 7 minutes. Basically, a few weeks ago I did a coaching demo with one of my clients, Mary, around what she described as ‘impostor syndrome’.

She told me that whenever she started to make progress, she’d get to a certain point, then fall back.

She wanted to be able to ‘put herself out there’…

She wanted to be able to charge fees that would be rewarding…

She wanted to be excited about what she was doing, and feel unstoppable…

What follows is a summary of the main approaches I’ve identified, but if you want a more in-depth look at them, here’s a link to a 12-minute video I made describing the 5 career transition strategies.
