This blog is for helping you to see through a misunderstanding that stops people from creating the results they want, and from living a life they love. It’s responsible for many of the problems we experience as individuals, in organisations and as an entire species.
Please don’t take my word for it; instead, I invite you to explore the materials here, make up your own mind, and start experiencing the benefits in your life.

Welcome to the podcast. I’m delighted to present this episode, “Living a Beautiful Life” with Jan and Chip Chipman. The theme for the ClarityLive conference it was recorded at was “How to make 2022 your most beautiful year yet” and it was really lovely. We had people joining us from all around the world, and there was a great sense of community, with lots of profound realisations.
And one of the highlights of the weekend was my session with my dear friends, mentors, colleagues and collaborators, Jan and Chip Chipman. Jan, Chip and I met nearly 13 years ago and have been friends ever since. We’ve run retreats together in the Canary Islands and mainland Spain. They spent years being mentored by Sydney Banks, and one of the things you’re going to love about this conversation is the feeling they bring. Chip also tells me favourite Syd Banks story in this session, so I hope you enjoy that too.
I’m getting ready to kick off the last ever Clarity Certification Training programme next weekend, so I thought I’d devote this article to some of the insights and realisations that have made such a difference to me and my clients in our personal and professional journeys.

I’m really happy to share this episode with you, with the unusual title of ‘Burning It All Down’, because it’s a recording from the ClarityLive! event we held earlier this month. The theme for the event was “How to make 2022 your most beautiful year yet” and it was really lovely. We had people joining us from all around the world, and there was a great sense of community, with lots of profound realisations. And one of the things we did was I had ‘fireside chat’ conversations with Certified Clarity Coaches who’ve been having a big impact in the world, and I picked their brains about what it means to live a beautiful life, and how this understanding has helped them do exactly that. And my idea for this was that we would be talking shop; the kind of conversation that I have with my colleagues over a coffee, and that most people never get to hear. So in this podcast, you’re going to be hearing one of those, a conversation I had with business owner & entrepreneur Charlie Madison.

I’ve called this episode, “The Power of Precision”, and I’m excited to share this episode with you because it’s a recording from the ClarityLive! event we held, just last weekend. The theme for the event was “How to make 2022 your most beautiful year yet” and it was really terrific. We had people joining us from all around the world, and there was a lovely sense of community, with lots of profound insights. And one of the things we did was I had ‘fireside chat’ conversations with Certified Clarity Coaches who have been having a big impact in the world, and I picked their brains about what it means to live a beautiful life, and how this understanding has helped them do that. And my idea for this was that we would be talking shop; the kind of conversation that I have with my colleagues over coffee, and that most people never get to hear. So in this podcast, you’re going to be hearing one of those, a conversation I had with the number 1 bestselling author, coach & trainer, Mamoon Yusaf.
As you may or may not know, my work (and my life) have been profoundly influenced by the work of the philosopher Sydney Banks. The very first recording I ever heard of his was called ‘Beyond Psychology’, made in the early 1970s.
But here’s the thing…

I’m Jamie Smart – welcome to the podcast. In this episode you’re going to be hearing something I’m very happy to share with you. It’s the recording of a conversation I had with Clarity Coach Louise O’Dalaigh at the last ClarityLive event a few months ago. Louise is trained as a nurse and has spent the last 30 years working in the healthcare field. Her current role is as a Quality Improvement Lead for an NHS organisation with over 10,000 staff. So it was a real treat to be able to have one of my ‘fireside chat’ conversations with her and find out the kind of difference the principles understanding is making in her life and in her organisation.
