Sometimes when I meet someone who I haven’t seen in a long time, they express surprise at how much I’ve changed (my clients often tell me that they receive similar comments about themselves). When people ask me what I put it down to, my answer is simple: getting an understanding of the principles behind clarity. In this article, we’re going to explore the gentle art of transforming your life, and the 3 ‘flavors’ of connection that make this possible. Read More →

TTE 153 – Rush, holidays and public speaking

Posted on July 5, 2018 by Jamie Smart

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
I’m a big fan of the Grayson Perry, the English artist / potter / tapestry maker / thinker. I’m currently listening to the audiobook of his ‘Descent of Man’, and he mentions a wonderful quote by Julian Baggini. Here it is:

“‘I’ is a verb masquerading as a noun”. Read More →

In this episode of The Thriving Coaches podcast you’re going to hear an excerpt from the most recent Clarity Coach Training programme where several students were in situations where they wanted to share the principles behind Clarity with an audience, but they didn’t understand how it was practical (or even possible) to do so. The subjects they were due to be talking about were “gut health”, “business strategy” and “exam results”. Read More →

TTE 152 – Psychos, Positioning and Pagoda

Posted on June 28, 2018 by Jamie Smart

It’s enthusiasm time again… let me know what you think!

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week

I’m currently reading the book, “The War on Normal People” by 2020 US Presidential candidate Andrew Yang. It’s probably the most important book I’ve read this year; a shocking picture of what our near-term, AI-driven future could very well look like. The game is about to change in ways we can scarcely imagine. I mention this, not to frighten anyone, but because it looks to me like it’s more important than ever that we embrace our true nature as creative, resilient and compassionate individuals and start getting ready for this!

TTE 151 – Bliss, queens and UBI

Posted on June 21, 2018 by Jamie Smart

I’ve got some delightful enthusiasms for you this week. Enjoy! Jx

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
I’ve long been a fan of the work of Joseph Campbell. His encouragement to “follow your bliss” was one of the things that inspired me to start my first company (its tagline was “Do what you love”) and to trust that inner guidance system we all have, but that fewer people are willing to trust and follow. Here’s what Campbell had to say about it: Read More →

TTE 150 – Warm-heartedness, CRISPR and youth violence

Posted on June 14, 2018 by Jamie Smart

I’ve got some delightful enthusiasms for you this week. Enjoy! Jx

1. A quote I’m resonating with this week
I was reading an interview with the Dalai Lama a while back, and came across this quote. It really resonated with me (or me with it). Today is the second day of a 2-day workshop I’m running with Clarity Coaches Dorothy Kolomeisky and Robin Lockhart called ‘Resolving the Roots of Youth Violence’. We’re sharing the principles behind clarity with youth workers from the UK and around the world, and looking at how we can support them in making a difference to the young people they work with. Yesterday, we spent much of our time talking about the power of connection, realisation and insight. It seems to me that we may have our hands on the very thing the Dalai Lama is pointing to here: Read More →
