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.

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.

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.”

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.

In this episode, Steve and Kali explore the “soap opera” effect - when negativity, conflict, and fault-finding become the dominant tone in workplaces and relationships. They contrast this with the powerful ripple effect of intentionally noticing, amplifying, and appreciating what’s going well.
Through real-life stories, including a hospital consultant’s eye-opening shift in perspective, they show how genuine praise not only boosts morale but can transform how teams and individuals perform. The takeaway? Focus on the good, big people up, and keep your own self-talk positive - because feeling good inside fuels better results everywhere.

In this episode, Steve and Kali explore how to stop worrying about what others think and truly be yourself. They discuss the difference between liking to be liked and needing to be liked, and how authenticity – not perfection – attracts the right people into your life.
From letting go of comparisons and old beliefs, to recognising your unique strengths and multiple intelligences, they highlight how much of what holds us back is simply learned conditioning. With practical insights from NLP, they remind us that you already have everything you need – you just might need to let some unhelpful ideas fall away.

In this episode, Steve and Kali unpack what success really means, moving beyond flashy cars, job titles and other people’s definitions. They explore how true success is about doing what you love or working towards it – aligned with your values – not just looking good from the outside.
Through personal stories and client examples, they discuss the courage it takes to make big decisions, whether that’s changing career, starting a business, or going for a promotion. It’s a reminder that the hardest step is deciding to go for it – and that if others have done it, so can you.

In this episode, Steve and Kali are joined by coach Megan O’Connor for a grounded and insightful conversation about confidence, self-doubt, and the invisible beliefs that shape our behaviour. Meg shares the kinds of issues clients bring to her—from avoiding conflict or connection, to never feeling quite “good enough”—and how coaching helps people uncover what’s really going on underneath.
Together they explore how our identities get clouded by old stories, why breakthrough days can be transformational, and what’s possible when you finally stop believing the voice that says “I’m just not that kind of person.”

In this uplifting episode, Steve, Kali and guest Megan O’Connor explore the power of childlike confidence, joy, and playfulness—and what happens to it as we grow up. Taking inspiration from the phrase “Do it with the confidence of a 4-year-old in a Batman t-shirt”, they look at how life, school, and self-doubt gradually chip away at our natural creativity and boldness.
Together, they reflect on the beliefs that hold us back, the “scripts” we unknowingly carry, and how NLP can help us dust off the layers and rediscover the courage and lightness we had as kids.
Whether it’s jumping into your partner’s arms or chasing big dreams, this episode is a reminder that you already have everything you need—you just need to remember.

In this episode, Steve and Kali are joined by Megan O’Connor for a punchy reminder that sometimes the only thing holding us back is… us. Inspired by a phrase from Kali’s daughter – “buy the damn shoes” – the trio explore what it means to stop overthinking and start doing. From career changes to coaching commitments, it’s all about trusting your gut and taking action, even when the full plan isn’t clear.
If you’ve ever hesitated at the edge of something exciting, this episode is your nudge to leap.

In this episode, Steve and Kali take a closer look at what real positivity means. Rather than forcing a smile through difficulty, they argue that genuine optimism often begins with being okay in the “not knowing” – those moments of uncertainty where we don’t yet have the answers, but we’re still moving forward.
They explore the idea that some of life’s best breakthroughs come not when we’re certain, but when we’re willing to sit with the unknown… and trust that something good will come.
This is a thoughtful listen for anyone who’s tired of forced positivity and wants something more honest, grounded and human.

Kali opens with the insight that “if you’re not changing, you’re choosing” — a theme that underpins this entire conversation. Together, they unpack what it really means to choose change, step out of your comfort zone, and listen to the quiet nudges that say, “you’re meant for more.”
Whether you’re standing at a crossroads, feeling stuck, or craving something different, this episode is an honest, inspiring invitation to take the first step.
