How do environmental threat, attention, and belief shape the way people think, behave, and change?
In this 90-minute interactive session, Phil Lunt introduces the unLOC Model™ (Unlocking Layers of Change) a neuroscience-based framework designed to support transformational coaching without pathologising clients or oversimplifying change.
The session explores three interconnected layers:
Re-optimise: using the DREADED model to understand seven pervasive threat triggers that drive stress, limit growth, and subtly shape coaching dynamics.
Rebalance: through the 10 Selves model, examining attentional modes and how overuse of energy-hungry or “sticky” modes can lead to burnout, urgency, and loss of meaning — while opening access to deeper Creative and Relational Selves.
Rewire: exploring how neurodevelopmental stages shape subconscious beliefs, and how the DAWN process uses reconsolidation to support genuine belief updating rather than insight-only change.
Together, these models offer coaches a layered roadmap for supporting sustainable transformation, while also reflecting on their own ways of being in practice.
This session combines conceptual input with experiential learning, including reflective exercises, language exploration, and simple body-based practices that support regulation, attention, and presence in coaching conversations.
