Podcast appearances and mentions of Jamie Smart

At just 10 years old, Jamie Smart has already achieved something most wildlife photographers only dream of: being crowned Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year at the Natural History Museum in London.But this conversation is about far more than an award.Jamie is one of those young photographers who reminds us that age does not limit the way someone can see, feel, and understand the natural world. Behind her winning image is a young storyteller with genuine curiosity, patience, and a beautifully observant eye for wildlife.In what honestly felt like one of my most special conversations yet, we spoke about the moments that first sparked Jamie's love for nature, the way she approaches photography, and what it feels like to have her work recognised on one of the biggest wildlife photography stages in the world.For YWP, this episode feels especially meaningful because it reflects so much of what we believe in: that young photographers are not just “up-and-coming” voices for the future. They are already here, already seeing deeply, already telling stories, and already making a real impact through their images.We also reflected on the powerful image of Jamie standing alongside legendary wildlife photographer Wim van den Heever, a moment that felt incredibly special to me, especially knowing that Wim's son Juan is a close friend of mine.This is a conversation about wonder, creativity, quiet observation, and the magic of seeing the wild through fresh eyes.Jamie may only be 10, but her voice in wildlife photography already feels beautifully authentic, and this is a conversation I think the YWP community will really connect with.Visit our online store to get your birding related merchandise at great prices https://www.thebirdinglife.com/online-storeIntro and outro music by Tony ZA https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialza

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the SheClicks Women in Photography Podcast, Angela Nicholson speaks with Jamie Smart, a 10-year-old wildlife photographer whose passion, patience and talent have already earned her an impressive list of awards.Jamie shares how her love of wildlife came before photography and how the camera became a way to learn more about the natural world and show others the beauty of creatures great and small. From birds in the garden to insects revealed through macro photography, she explains how photography helps her see details that would otherwise go unnoticed and how those discoveries continue to fuel her curiosity.Angela and Jamie talk about how her photography has developed over the past four years, from early record shots to more striking and thoughtful images. Jamie discusses what she has learned about light, camera settings and the importance of understanding animal behaviour. She also reflects on using cameras such as the Nikon D500, D850 and Z9 and why patience is one of the most important skills in wildlife photography.The conversation also explores Jamie's success in photography competitions, her favourite wildlife subjects, memorable experiences in Scotland and Australia and the excitement of photographing everything from peregrine falcons to bugs and garden birds. Along the way, Jamie offers thoughtful advice for anyone starting out with a camera, especially girls and women who want to find their own path in photography.This is an inspiring and uplifting episode about curiosity, determination and the joy of learning through photography. Jamie's enthusiasm is infectious and her outlook is a wonderful reminder that great images begin with a genuine love of the subject.TakeawaysPatience is one of the most valuable skills any photographer can develop.Understanding your subject helps you anticipate moments and create stronger images.Learning how light works can transform the quality of your photography.Great progress comes from curiosity, practice and a willingness to keep learning.You do not need to know exactly what you will find to enjoy a rewarding shoot.Photography is often most powerful when it begins with genuine passion for the subject.Connect with JamieWebsiteInstagramFacebookYouTubeThis episode is supported by Nikon, a world-leading provider of imaging products and services.

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and colleague Ankush Jain – coach, teacher, speaker, founder of Coaching Career School, and author of the new book Awakening the Coach Within. We talk about the real journey behind building a coaching practice: the early days, the missteps, the breakthroughs, and the insights that shaped everything that came after. This is a very open, very human conversation about what it actually takes to do this work in a grounded, sustainable way. In this conversation, we explore: What the early years of a coaching business really look like Why seeing coaching as a calling changes everything How generosity plays a surprising role in client creation Why trust and relationship will matter more than ever in the years ahead The courage and clarity behind Ankush's new book If you're a coach — new or experienced — this is a conversation worth hearing.

In this extract from a recent live session, Jamie explores the value of a principles understanding in times of crisis. The world is shifting fast — with AI, volatility and uncertainty reshaping how we live and work. Yet there's something deeper, unchanging, that every human being has access to. In this episode, Jamie shares: • Why AI might soon outthink (and outwork) us — and why that's not the real issue • What humanity still has that no technology can replicate • And how awakening to the truth of who you really are might just be our best path forward A sobering yet hopeful reflection on what it means to navigate life from wisdom, wellbeing and purpose.

I'm sharing a brief extract from this month's private Clarity Coaches Tribe Masterclass, where I explored something that feels increasingly clear to me: many of the challenges we're facing (and will face in the years ahead) can't be solved purely at the psychological or even the practical level. In this short clip, I talk about: • What the Dalai Lama says is missing from modern education • The unexpected difference people started to notice in me when I moved from NLP to the principles • And what may be the subtlest yet most powerful thing you bring to the table –––

I'm sharing a conversation I had with my friend and colleague, Doug O'Brien. Doug is a master storyteller, hypnotherapist, and bestselling author — and like me, he's been fascinated for decades with the ways language and story can change lives. In this episode, we explore:  • How stories shape the way people see themselves and the world  • The simple structure behind every powerful story  • The role stories play in creating lasting change I think you'll find this exploration both practical and thought-provoking — especially if you've ever wondered why a single story can sometimes do what hours of explanation can't. Big love, Jamie P.S. If you'd like to dive deeper into Doug's work, you can explore his User's Guide to Storytelling here: essentialcoachingskills.com/users-guide-to-storytelling

In this short clip, Jamie Smart explores relationships from the perspective of the Three Principles — and why they all come down to three key connections:  • Your relationship with other people  • Your relationship with who you really are  • Your relationship with life itself We look at how the feeling of connection and the fact of connection aren't the same thing… and why understanding this can change the way you relate to others, yourself, and the world. Whether you're a coach, teacher, or someone interested in the Three Principles, this conversation will give you a fresh perspective on relationships and connection.

This week, I want to share with you a short clip from one of our recent sessions, and it's about something I really love exploring: trusting your inner guidance. One of the things I often find is that when people first come across this understanding, they love the idea of wisdom—that quiet voice of guidance. But a common question is, “How do I tell the difference between that and just regular thinking?” In this 5-minute clip, I share what I've seen about that, and why your system is already being guided by wisdom - more than you might realise.
