Released 12th July 2019

This week’s Friday Shot of Clarity is an excerpt from my first book, CLARITY: Clear Mind, Better Performance, Bigger Results (©2013 Jamie Smart, published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd). This excerpt is taken from Chapter 15 – Resilience:

In The Wizard of Oz, the heroine (Dorothy, played by Judy Garland) gets caught in a tornado and wakes up in the strange land of Oz. She’s desperate to find her way home to Kansas, and goes on a quest to meet the wizard who she believes holds the key to her return.

#025 – DEMO: Parenting with the principles: How to help a suffering child – Get Clarity Podcast

Posted on June 26, 2019 by Jamie Smart

Released 24th June 2019 Subscribe: Spotify | iTunes | Stitcher

This episode features a coaching demo I did with Clarity Coach Trevor Hartwick. And here’s one of the interesting things about it: We did the demo at the end of a virtual session where we only had 7 minutes left. What you’re going to hear is just how quickly it’s possible for someone to experience a profound shift when you’re working with an understanding of the principles behind clarity.

Trevor and his wife are new parents, with a two-month old baby. Trevor’s loving being a father, but sometimes, when the baby won’t stop crying, he feels powerless. Trevor said it breaks his heart to see his child upset and not be able to make him happy.

#024 – Nick Bottini From Scared of speaking on his home-turf to bestselling author, sharing the principles – Get Clarity Podcast

Posted on April 29, 2019 by Jamie Smart

Released 26th April 2019 Subscribe: iTunes | Stitcher

In this episode of the podcast, you’re going to be hearing a conversation I had with a good friend and colleague, Nick Bottini. Over the past couple of years he’s gone from being the music teacher in a school to being a bestselling author, speaker and coach who’s passionate about sharing the inside-out understanding with musicians.

And while hundreds of thousands of people are now exploring and having insights into this understanding, there are relatively few people who are managing to share this understanding effectively.

“An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”
– Mahatma Gandhi

This week’s article is part 2 in my series, The 5 Paradoxical Clues To The Work You’re Here To Do. Over the years, I’ve regularly heard people say things like, “I’d do what I love, if only I knew what it was” and “I’d do what I love, if only I knew how to do it.” Before the holidays, I did a Facebook Live broadcast on my business page called “The 5 Paradoxical Clues To The Work You’re Here To Do”. People really loved it, so I thought I’d share the 5 paradoxical clues here in the JST. Here’s clue number 2:

Paradoxical Clue 2: You keep improving
My dear friend, colleague and early mentor, Christina Hall PhD, once told me a story about the virtuoso cellist, Pablo Casals in the later years of his life. As the story goes, a reporter went to interview the 83-year-old Casals at his home. The moment he arrived, the reporter could hear the sounds of beautiful cello music filling the house. Read More →

“Fear is peeing your pants.
Courage is doing what you’re supposed to do with wet pants.”
– An anonymous drill sergeant

I’ve just started posting content on LinkedIn, so I thought I’d give you a taste of the kind of thing I’m doing there. So without further ado, here’s Getting Out of Your Depth (Or “How to succeed by throwing yourself into situations where you don’t know what you’re doing”)

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
This one comes from co-author of the seminal book, The Third Wave, Alvin Toffler (he’s quoted in this week’s ‘glimpse of the future’ article):

“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, relearn and unlearn.” Read More →

JST 182 – Not self-improvement

“This is not a self-improvement programme”
– Jan Chipman

Last night I did a Facebook Live broadcast with the provocative title, “Why self-improvement stunts your development”. I acknowledged that this may seem like a strange statement coming from someone whose books are in the “Personal Development” section of the bookstore. Nevertheless, it turns out that “self-improvement” may have been slowing your evolution personally and professionally. Read More →
