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 chats with leadership coach Jonathan “JP” Peach about the hidden constraints of conventional coaching models like GROW. They unpack why a rigid, destination-driven approach can quietly narrow insight, create “performance of coaching” box-ticking, and pull attention away from the human in front of you.

JP contrasts that with a Three Principles way of working that feels more like a dance than a checklist: deeper presence, truer curiosity, and space for the coachee’s own insight to emerge.

Expect frank talk on goals vs. being, process vs. presence, and why the richest breakthroughs often show up when you stop trying to force an outcome.

It’s practical, too. You’ll hear how to loosen your grip on structure without losing professionalism, how to get under the hood rather than polish surface problems, and how to choose (or become) a coach who’s fluent in multiple modalities so sessions feel freer, fuller, and more human.

Want coaching that shifts identity, not just action lists? Press play and try JP’s simple tell next time you’re stuck… drop the model for a minute, get genuinely curious, and see what insight appears when you stop steering.
