Finding your true self... coaching from the inside-out
Welcome back to the NLP UK Training podcast! Hosted by NLP Trainers Steve Kay and Kali Fraser from NLPUKTraining.com – a leading provider of NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner certification in the UK.In this episode, Steve Kay sits down with leadership coach Jonathan “JP” Peach for a candid debrief on how the Three Principles has added to his coaching, and his life. JP traces his shift from technique-heavy, surface-level problem-solving to an inside-out, embodied understanding – reconnecting with his “true self”. They dig into why insight beats intellect, how real coaching helps clients drop beneath goals and tactics to what’s actually driving them, and why calm, clarity and confidence follow when you stop outsourcing your state to the future. Expect pub-born honesty, coaching-room stories, and a provocative question… are you solving the right problem, or just rearranging deckchairs?It all lands practically, too. JP shares the knock-on effects he’s seeing – less anxiety, fewer limiting beliefs, bolder proposals, more authentic keynotes, and clients who say “I didn’t expect we’d go there… but that’s exactly what I needed.”If you want coaching that sparks genuine insight (not a to-do list), or you’re curious how becoming more you can make work easier, this conversation is a nudge to go deeper. Hit play and test it this week… drop below the “what should I do?” to “who am I being?” – and watch the solutions surface on their own.

You’re not a fraud - Your brain’s just keeping you safe
Welcome back to the NLP UK Training podcast! Hosted by NLP Trainers Steve Kay and Kali Fraser from NLPUKTraining.com – a leading provider of NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner certification in the UK.In this episode, Kali interviews leadership expert Jonathan Peach to demystify imposter syndrome - which, spoiler, isn’t a medical syndrome at all but a learned story our brain tells to keep us safe. They link it to psychological safety at work, explain why “I’ll get found out” is a protective prediction (not a prophecy), and unpack the neuroscience: your brain is a prediction machine that believes what you rehearse. Expect fresh takes on change (“we don’t like how things are, and we don’t like change either”), why silence in meetings often masks fear, and how belonging flips performance from guarded to generous.Then it turns practical. Jonathan shares a simple playbook: journal to spot patterns and pre-write how you want to respond next time; rehearse the new story so your brain chooses it under pressure; and use coaching to raise awareness rather than hunt for perfect answers. There’s a clean distinction between mentoring and coaching, a reality check for trainers who think they must know everything, and a humane mantra: you won’t always have the answers - and that’s okay. Want to retire the “not good enough” script and show up bolder? Press play, try the journaling prompt this week, and notice what shifts when you treat imposter feelings as data, not destiny.

The secret to brilliant leadership
Welcome back to the NLP UK Training podcast! Hosted by NLP Trainers Steve Kay and Kali Fraser from NLPUKTraining.com – a leading provider of NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner certification in the UK.In this episode, Kali interviews leadership expert Jonathan Peach to get real about psychological safety – what it is, why leaders so often mangle it, and how it’s built (or broken) in a hundred tiny moments. Expect some strong thoughts – such as recruitment isn’t your problem, retention is; “one size fits all” leadership is a fantasy; and onboarding should create belonging, not just tick boxes.They dig into lived experience (why teams wait for the “see, told you” moment), the heavy cost of feeling invisible, and why connection-before-content turns down the defensive walls, so the real work can start.Then it gets practical and punchy. Jonathan reframes feedback as affirmation (be specific about the behaviour and its impact), champions peer-to-peer recognition over top-down pats, and makes a compelling case for connection, belonging, and trust – in that order. Want a team that contributes boldly and sticks around? Tune in for clear steps you can use this week and a simple starting point that changes everything… connect first, model vulnerability, and watch safety scale.

Why your thoughts aren’t real (and why that’s a good thing!)
Welcome back to the NLP UK Training podcast! Hosted by NLP Trainers Steve Kay and Kali Fraser from NLPUKTraining.com – a leading provider of NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner certification in the UK.In this episode, Steve Kay chats with Dr Andy Cope to explore the Three Principles (Mind, Consciousness, Thought) made famous by Sydney Banks – and why your experience is created from the inside out. Forget “life as a camera”… Steve argues we’re the projectionist (and explains what one of those is!). They dive into predictive brains, personal “scripts,” and why it feels like the bad driver or the red light is doing it to you… even when it isn’t.Expect a lively debate, a challenge to over-intellectualising psychology, and a bold claim… once you truly see how experience is generated, your system self-corrects and calm follows.It’s provocative, practical, and quietly liberating. You’ll hear why reliving old trauma can keep it alive, how anxiety only exists in present thinking, and George Pransky’s litmus test – do you treat thoughts as real things, or as passing weather? If you want fewer triggers, more ease, and a cleaner mind, hit play – then notice what shifts this week when you remember, “It’s coming from me.”

Why you don’t need to be Happy all the time
Welcome back to the NLP UK Training podcast! Hosted by NLP Trainers Steve Kay and Kali Fraser from NLPUKTraining.com – a leading provider of NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner certification in the UK.In this episode, Kali sits down with Dr Andy Cope – the “Doctor of Happiness” and founder of Art of Brilliance – to ask a powerful question… is the pressure to be happy actually making us less happy? Together they explore why nobody can or should be upbeat all the time, why so-called negative emotions are vital signals, and how our modern environment – from constant busyness to screen addiction – can leave us feeling like animals in a human zoo. Expect honest insight into what happiness is and why attention has become our most precious resource.Then they turn to action. Andy shares three refreshingly simple habits – shinrin-yoku (immersing yourself in nature), flipping the script by rolling your eyes only when good things happen, and niksen – the Dutch art of doing absolutely nothing.It’s an inspiring, down-to-earth conversation that reminds us how to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover what feeling good really means.
