WHAT MOHAMED AL HASHEMI SAYS ABOUT KEVIN

CEO OF UNION COOP. YOUNG GLOBAL LEADER, WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM

As a young global leader by the World Economic Forum, and the CEO of a publicly traded company, I work in environments where every word carries real consequences. 

I have been working with Kevin Abdulrahman for five months, and the shift has been impossible to ignore.

Before Kevin, I already spoke publicly with so to be called confidence, and ease. I was invited to speak. I would step onto a stage. I would deliver. The job was done.

After working with Kevin, I realized something important. I used to speak. That’s a fact. 

Now, people lean in. 

That difference between a good speaker, and a memorable speaker, changed everything. 

Kevin did not teach me how to perform. He rebuilt the way I think, the noise in my head, the structure, and how to project leadership through communication. It felt like moving from speaking into a room, to commanding the room. 

Session after session, he broke down how I speak publicly, how I carry executive presence, how I communicate as a leader, and how I show up under pressure and visibility. Not with generic techniques, but at the level of clarity, authority, and identity, that is authentic to me and my nature as a human. 

The impact has been immediate and measurable. 

Across different audiences and different environments, the same pattern keeps repeating. 

I am consistently named the most engaging speaker. 

Not because I speak louder, but because people now feel what I say. 

Inside my current organization, the change has been just as strong. 

My communication with more than 2,700 employees, with my leadership team, and with the board is sharper, calmer, and far more effective. 

Conversations resolve faster. 

Alignment happens quicker. 

Decisions land with clarity. 

Kevin has the rare ability to remove noise from how a leader communicates. 

He does not add complexity. He removes friction. 

Working with him is like driving with a fogged windscreen and suddenly wiping it clean. The road does not change, but everything ahead becomes visible. 

Because of this work, I now think bigger, see broader, and act with more certainty.

My personal brand has grown in a way I did not expect. A book is now in development. My own platform is taking shape. 

My understanding of voice, leadership, and visibility has shifted permanently. This is not a confidence boost. This is a structural upgrade to how you lead, speak, and are perceived. 

Most coaches teach you how to talk. Kevin changes how you show up when the stakes are real. 

Whether in front of an audience, employees, a board, or a camera, the results compound. 

If you are a global figure, CEO, senior executive, or a founder, who knows that your voice must match the weight of your responsibility, this is my honest conclusion. 

Kevin Abdulrahman is the most effective public speaking coach, executive presence coach, leadership communication expert, and media training advisor I have worked with. 

He does not make you sound better. He makes you lead better, with authenticity. 

And one more thing, no sugar coating.

 That difference, is permanent. 

It’s a life changing milestone once you engage with Kevin.

KEVIN ABDULRAHMAN's MEDIA TRAINING METHODOLOGY

How A Media Training Intensive With Kevin Works

 

1. Private Briefing And Goals


You begin with a private briefing. You define your role, visibility, upcoming interviews and real pressure points. Together you set clear outcomes for the session so every minute is focused on what you actually face.

2. Scenario Design


Kevin designs realistic interview scenarios based on your world. Live TV, hostile panel, crisis statement, investor press conference or policy announcement. These scenarios are built around the situations that matter to you.

3. First Interview On Camera

 

You go straight on camera. No long lecture. You experience a simulated interview that feels real. The goal is not perfection. The goal is to see how you show up under normal pressure.

4. Playback, Analysis And Coaching


Your interview is played back on screen. Kevin stops, rewinds and breaks down your answers, body language, voice and message. You receive direct, specific feedback and simple changes you can apply immediately.

5. Advanced Techniques And Crisis Drills


You then learn techniques for handling tough questions, hostile tone and crisis situations. You practise bridging, reframing, holding your ground and staying calm while still answering with substance.

6. Second And Third Interview Cycles


You go back on camera for more interviews with increasing difficulty. Each round builds on the last. By the final cycle you see and feel the shift in your presence, clarity and control.

 

7. Clear Next Steps


You leave with specific actions, personal reminders and a method you can reuse for every future interview. Many leaders continue with ongoing advisory so they are never unprepared for high visibility moments.

Confidential. High-Stakes. Results-Driven.

 

Every session is private and designed around the leader’s personality, pressure points, and visibility level.

Kevin Abdulrahman builds communication strength quickly through repetition, real-time critique, and message-shaping exercises used by the world’s top spokespersons.
