You’re not a fraud - Your brain’s just keeping you safe | NLP UK Training Podcast Episode 63

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.
