A Journey of Transformation
On a recent episode of “Decoding the Conflict Mindset” podcast, host Dr. Debra Dupree interviewed Luann Horobin about her evolution from corporate healthcare management to becoming an ICF Master Coach. What began as an unexpected job termination transformed into a journey of discovery and purpose, shaped by her father’s early influence of questioning how she thought about situations.
The Science Behind Mindset
Horobin’s fascination with cognitive transformation led her to study neuroscience, drawing from thought leaders like Bruce Lipton and Joe Dispenza. Her expertise in Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) revealed how early experiences create neural pathways that influence adult behaviors through various triggers – from sounds to scents to actions.
Small Changes, Big Impact
During her discussion with Dr. Dupree, Horobin emphasized that meaningful transformation often comes from subtle shifts rather than dramatic changes. She introduced powerful questioning techniques, such as:
- “How is this exactly perfect?”
- “What would I do in this situation if I had a different belief?”
- These questions help redirect brain chemistry toward solution-oriented thinking.
The Full Life Harmony Approach
Horobin’s unique methodology combines career development with mindset work, recognizing that changing one aspect of life affects the whole person. This “full life harmony” approach acknowledges the interconnected nature of personal and professional growth, seeing career transitions as catalysts for complete personal transformation.
Professional Credentials and Adaptation
As one of only 1,600 ICF Master Coaches worldwide, Horobin’s training enables her to:
- Adapt coaching approaches to individual needs

Understanding Subconscious Drivers
A key theme in Horobin’s work is how early experiences create subconscious patterns that influence behavior. She helps clients:
