• Nihara Yoonus brings immersive personal growth experience to Colombo

Dubai-based Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Life Coach, developmental psychology specialist, and pedagogical leadership trainer Nihara Yoonus is set to host an exclusive, transformation-focused workshop, Programme Your Mind and Reclaim Your Life, in Colombo on 17 October.

With a professional background spanning NLP, developmental psychology, early childhood education, and pedagogical leadership, Yoonus brings together practical tools, personal insight, and an understanding of human behaviour to create an experience centred on meaningful personal growth.

Yoonus is associated with the Futurise Institute, Dubai, where she contributes as a trainer and educator. She is also a collaborator for CCE Finland and Finnish education in the UAE, reflecting her professional engagement with progressive approaches to education, development, and learning. Her academic and professional journey also includes research-based coursework in developmental theories at Oxford University, London.

Through her work, Yoonus has supported individuals and professionals in understanding their thought patterns, strengthening self-awareness, and developing more intentional approaches to life and leadership.

Programme Your Mind and Reclaim Your Life is designed for those who feel ready to pause, reflect, and reassess the patterns that influence how they think, respond, and move through life.

The immersive session introduces participants to practical NLP-based techniques and mindset tools that can help them recognise limiting thought patterns, challenge habitual perspectives, and develop more conscious responses to everyday situations.

Rather than focusing solely on motivation, the workshop aims to provide participants with practical exercises they can take beyond the room by encouraging greater self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and intentional decision-making.

What participants can expect

• Cognitive reframing: Understand how thought patterns influence emotions, choices, and actions, and learn techniques to consciously shift them
• Mindset and self-awareness: Identify behavioural triggers and gain a clearer understanding of the perspectives that shape everyday experiences
• Practical NLP techniques: Engage with tools designed to help participants approach familiar situations from new perspectives
• Personal growth: Create greater clarity around personal goals, confidence, and the direction participants want to take
• Meaningful connection: An intimate environment for reflection, conversation, and shared experiences
• A curated lunch experience: Guests will also enjoy a buffet lunch at Hilton Colombo Residences

While the workshop is designed specifically as a personal growth and development experience, participants will also receive a certificate of participation from Futurise Institute, Dubai. The certificate provides an added element of professional recognition to an experience centred on personal development, reflection, and practical learning.

Taking place at Hilton Colombo Residences, the event has been designed as more than a conventional workshop. From the learning experience and interactive activities to meaningful conversations and a curated buffet lunch, every element is intended to create an environment where participants can pause, reconnect, and leave with practical tools they can apply to everyday life.
