ANLP Accredited NLP Trainer, Organisational Performance Specialist & Creator of the CongruentMind™ Framework specialising in leadership effectiveness, team development, behavioural change and practical NLP.

Paul McGowran

Accredited NLP Trainer, 

For over 25 years I have been fascinated by a simple question:

Why do capable people, teams and organisations often struggle to achieve the results they want?

I first encountered NLP in the late 1990s whilst searching for better ways to understand how people think, communicate and change. What immediately attracted me to NLP was its practicality. It didn’t just explain behaviour; it provided practical ways to influence it.

Since then, I have worked as a Psychotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Accredited NLP Trainer, Workshop Facilitator and Organisational Development Specialist, helping individuals, leaders and teams create meaningful and lasting change.

Over the years, I noticed a recurring pattern.

Most performance challenges are not caused by a lack of capability.

More often they are caused by friction.

  • Miscommunication.
  • Conflicting priorities.
  • Lack of trust.
  • Unhelpful thinking patterns.
  • Poor alignment between people, processes and outcomes.

This insight became the foundation of my work and ultimately led to the development of the CongruentMind™ Framework.

The CongruentMind™ Framework

CongruentMind™ is a practical framework for improving individual, team and organisational performance.

It combines principles from:

  • Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)
  • Behavioural Psychology
  • Communication Models
  • Leadership Development
  • Team Dynamics
  • Systems Thinking

The aim is simple:

To identify and remove the hidden sources of friction that prevent people and organisations from performing at their best.

Whether working with an individual leader, a leadership team or an entire organisation, the focus is always on creating greater alignment between people, behaviour and outcomes.

Leadership, Management and Team Performance - The Workshop Facilitator

I work with leaders, managers and organisations that recognise that performance challenges are rarely solved by technical expertise alone.

The ability to communicate clearly, build trust, manage change and create accountability often has a greater impact on results than any process or system.

My work helps leaders:

  • Improve communication and influence
  • Build trust and psychological safety
  • Strengthen accountability
  • Develop high-performing teams
  • Navigate change more effectively
  • Improve collaboration across departments
  • Create cultures that support performance and wellbeing

My approach is highly practical, focusing on real workplace challenges rather than theory for theory’s sake.

NLP Training and Accreditation - CongruentNLP

As an Accredited NLP Trainer, I deliver NLP training programmes designed for practical application in leadership, coaching and business.

My programmes help participants develop a deeper understanding of:

  • Communication
  • Behavioural flexibility
  • Influence
  • Coaching conversations
  • Personal effectiveness
  • Leadership presence

The emphasis is always on translating NLP principles into skills that can be used immediately in professional and personal settings.

High Performance Journey™

The High Performance Journey™ is a structured development pathway designed to help teams and organisations improve communication, alignment and performance.

Drawing on NLP, leadership development and team dynamics, the programme provides practical tools that help organisations move beyond awareness and into sustainable behavioural change.

Colour Energies™

Alongside my NLP work, I am the creator of the Colour Energies™ Card Game and Team Development Tools.

These practical resources help individuals and teams explore communication preferences, behavioural tendencies and interpersonal dynamics in an engaging and accessible way.

They are used by facilitators, coaches, trainers and organisations throughout the UK and internationally.

Memory Re-Solution®

I am also the owner and developer of Memory Re-Solution™, an advanced NLP-based change process designed to help individuals resolve limiting emotional patterns and experiences that continue to affect confidence, performance and wellbeing.

The process combines multiple NLP approaches into a structured methodology focused on creating rapid and lasting change.

My clients include:

  • Business leaders
  • Managers
  • Coaches
  • Consultants
  • Facilitators
  • Leadership teams
  • Public sector organisations

  • Individuals seeking personal and professional development

Across all sectors, the challenges are often similar:

Helping people think more clearly, communicate more effectively and perform at their best.

Helping People, Teams and Leaders Create Sustainable Change

I believe NLP works best when it moves beyond techniques and becomes something practical that changes how people think, communicate and lead.

For more than 25 years I have been fascinated by how people create change.

My journey into NLP began in the late 1990s and quickly became a lifelong study of communication, behaviour and personal development. What attracted me to NLP was its practicality. It provided a way of understanding not just why people think and behave as they do, but how lasting change can actually be created.

That curiosity continues to shape my work today.

I work with professionals, leaders and organisations that want more than short-term motivation or quick fixes. My focus is on helping people identify the hidden sources of friction that limit performance, improve self-awareness and create sustainable behavioural change.

Areas I regularly support include:

  • Leadership effectiveness
  • Communication and influence
  • Team development
  • Psychological safety
  • Conflict and collaboration
  • Organisational development
  • Behavioural change
  • High-performance teams


Training and Development Programmes

Through CongruentNLP I deliver practical NLP learning experiences designed to help people apply NLP with confidence and integrity in real-world environments.

Programmes include:

• NLP Diploma – Understanding communication, behaviour and personal effectiveness

• NLP Practitioner – Developing practical NLP skills for coaching, leadership and personal change

• NLP Master Practitioner – Advanced behavioural flexibility, influence and transformational change

• Applied NLP Workshops – Focused development programmes for leaders, teams and organisations


Alongside traditional NLP training I am also the steward of Memory Re-Solution®, a licensed change process that works with how meaning and emotional responses are organised, offering a complementary route to sustainable change and development.

My aim is simple: help people develop greater clarity, alignment and effectiveness so change becomes easier and more sustainable.

Unlike many NLP programmes that focus solely on techniques, my approach integrates NLP with leadership development, organisational performance, facilitation and behavioural psychology. The result is training that not only develops knowledge, but helps participants apply NLP effectively in real-world situations.For more information contact me on the following:
