At her lowest point, Nishani Ahangama wasn’t looking for another self-help method, she was looking for something that actually worked. Her NLP transformation journey began not with confidence, but with desperation. What started as a leap of faith soon became the turning point in her life, leading her from emotional struggle to real, lasting change.
By every external measure, Nishani Ahangama had already made it.
She’d spent over 12 years working as a Human Resource Manager across multiple countries. She held two Master’s degrees. One in Business Management and another in Hospitality & Tourism. She actually holds a PhD in Hospitality and Tourism.
She was accomplished. Educated. Credentialed.
And yet, something wasn’t working.
“I had listened to motivational speeches. I had done affirmations. I had done all those things… but deep inside my gut, I knew there was something I needed to change.”
That gap between what looked successful from the outside and what felt true on the inside, is where Nishani’s real journey began.
When Motivation Isn’t Enough
Nishani discovered NLP at rock bottom.
Not because she lacked intelligence or discipline or education. But because lasting change doesn’t happen at the conscious level alone.
“You can hear all the motivational speeches you want… but I knew deep inside there was something deeper that had to shift.”
She wasn’t looking for inspiration. She’d had plenty of that.
She was looking for transformation.
A Seed Planted Years Earlier
NLP wasn’t entirely new to her.
More than 10 years earlier, a friend from Sri Lanka had traveled to Australia to study NLP through the Tad James Company. At the time, Nishani filed it away as something important, but not yet relevant.
“When I want to learn, I learn from the best.”
Years later, living in Australia and facing the most difficult chapter of her life, that seed resurfaced.
“I believe the universe always guides you to your highest purpose at the right time.”
And she listened.
Choosing Courage at Her Lowest Point
Nishani enrolled in FasTrak™ NLP Practitioner during one of the hardest periods of her life – emotionally, mentally, relationally.
She was in the middle of a painful breakup. She was told she wouldn’t survive without her partner.
“He told me I wouldn’t be able to live without him.”
Her response?
“Watch me.”
That decision to rewrite her own story became the fuel that carried her forward.
“I didn’t come to NLP for anyone else. I came because I needed to change my life.”
The Breakthrough: Time Line Therapy®
What Nishani experienced next was unlike anything she’d encountered before.
“Time Line Therapy® was the most amazing thing.”
For the first time, she wasn’t analyzing emotions. She was releasing them.
Anger. Fear. Sadness. Emotional weight she’d been carrying for years.
“The way I think completely shifted.”
And once that door opened, there was no going back.
From Practitioner to Mastery
Nishani didn’t begin FasTrak™ NLP Practitioner knowing she would dive deeper into this transformative work.
But once she experienced what was possible, she wanted more.
“When you want to be unique, when you want to stand out….you need to sharpen your skills.”
She progressed into Master Practitioner, then Trainer’s Training. Not because she needed another qualification…she already had plenty of those.
But because she understood something fundamental:
“If you want to be the best, you learn from the best.”
Action Over Preparation
One of the most profound shifts Nishani experienced was this:
“We’ve been brainwashed to believe we need to be fully prepared before we act.”
NLP Trainer’s Training dismantled that belief.
“That’s the biggest myth. You don’t need to be prepared….you need to take action.”
Through immersion, real-time feedback, and being placed directly into experience, she discovered something transformative:
“They believe in you more than you believe in yourself.”
And through action, mastery emerged.
This Training Is for Everyone
One of Nishani’s strongest messages is that NLP training isn’t reserved for a specific type of person.
You don’t need to be a coach. You don’t need to be a speaker. You don’t need years of experience in personal development.
“This training is for everybody.”
Whether someone arrives with no experience or decades of expertise, the training meets them where they are—and elevates them from there.
“You will not leave the same person.”
Proximity Is Power
Nishani is clear about one thing:
“Proximity is power.”
She chose to stay close to the environment that demanded excellence, not comfort.
“They will not let you settle for good. They will make you that rare piece.”
For her, continuing the journey wasn’t about obligation. It was about choice.
“I will stay with this company as long as I live.”
Where Transformation Begins
Nishani’s transformation began with one decision: to show up to FasTrak™ NLP Practitioner when her life was falling apart.
The next FasTrak™ NLP Practitioner Certification is March 16–22, 2026.
Live, online. Seven days. Four international certifications.
This isn’t surface-level mindset work. It’s unconscious-level change. The kind that rewrites identity, behavior, and future direction.
As Nishani says:
“If you want to be good, you can find another program. If you want to be outstanding, this is the place.”
