What Mohamed Al Hashemi Says About Kevin Abdulrahman

Mohamed Al Hashemi

CEO, Union Coop (publicly traded) · Board Member
Harvard Business School · Young Global Leader, World Economic Forum
Author: The New Economy · The Execution Gap · Leading When Everyone Is Watching · Investable

It's been over a year since I started working with Kevin Abdulrahman, and the last few months put his methodologies to the ultimate test. Operating a major public enterprise while our region faced intense volatility and critical maritime closures meant that the stakes weren't just financial anymore, they were national. Let alone leading by communication during uncertainty.

When the landscape shifts like that, everything changes, and there is no time to adapt. You're either ready, or not.

You aren't just handling standard corporate updates, or board meetings. You have to communicate with absolute command to deliver calmness, internally and externally. Every single word you say has massive weight that could go either way.

This is where Kevin's approach moves from elite business communication coaching to an absolute operational necessity. He doesn't give you a script. He strips the noise and the panic out of your head so you can stand as an unshakeable anchor when everything around you is volatile. Not a one off - but a new default that you operate with.

Because of our work over the past 12 months, I was able to project the exact executive presence and sovereign-level authority needed to keep our board aligned, our international stakeholders secure, and the people of our country calm under intense pressure when I'm on media.

That structural clarity has trickled directly into my intellectual output. Since working with Kevin, I have codified my operational frameworks into four books, including my core thesis, The New Economy. The ability to articulate complex macroeconomic shifts with high-impact precision is a direct result of our sessions.

Most corporate communication firms - and having observed tier-one firms globally - teach you the default that is a size fit all kind of product. Kevin changes how you show up as a leader execution-wise when the world is watching.

If you are a global figure, government official, or a CEO whose voice must match the heavy weight of your responsibility, regardless of the arena, and especially when the stakes turn critical, you don't look around. You find the Panadol of your headache (as he taught me). And I won't name my Panadol :)

01 - The Advisory

Communication Coaching for Paris Professionals

Paris combines an intense public sphere with layered institutional oversight, producing communication problems that are both immediate and structural. Public demonstrations and sectoral strikes channel attention onto corporate and state decision making within hours. Regulatory scrutiny from the Autorité des marchés financiers and administrative reviews from Conseil d'Etat pose formal disclosure obligations that intersect with politically charged narratives in national media. Institutional actors must reconcile legal compliance, board governance, and stakeholder legitimacy while preserving operational continuity. The critical failure mode in Paris is not a lack of messaging but a misalignment between legal posture, board-level authority, and the rhythms of French public debate.

The best investment you could ever make is to invest in yourself. As an international speaker and ambassador myself, I can tell you that the importance of speaking with impact is undeniable.

I've known Kevin for a number of years. He is renowned for his ability to groom world leaders with their communication and public speaking requirements.

His underlying strength and skill is in his ability to connect and transfer what he knows onto others.

02 - Why Kevin Abdulrahman

The Differentiators That Cannot Be Replicated.

Sovereign-tier clientele. Kevin advises Ministers, sovereign wealth fund leaders, listed-company CEOs, royal advisors and national spokespersons. 25+ years of practice at the level where one wrong word costs the country, not the quarter.
Built for real heat. Hostile cameras. Regulatory inquiry. Board crisis. Activist letters. Sovereign press conferences in two languages. The scenarios competitors cannot train because they have never been in the room.
The only advisor in this category who guarantees the outcome. Other firms sell hours, retainers or process and disclaim outcomes. Kevin delivers the result itself. The work is over when the moment lands, not when the time is used.
Active international keynote speaker. The #1 motivational keynote speaker across the Middle East, Asia and Europe. The voice work comes from daily live practice on global stages, not from a textbook or a former career.
Globally available, culturally fluent. Kevin operates across every major market globally. Fluent in the cultural, media and geopolitical context that shapes how authority is read in each region.
Confidentiality is absolute. The work is never published, never used as case study, never referenced without explicit written permission. The privacy of the engagement is its own guarantee.
Permanent capability. The voice the leader leaves with stays with them across every subsequent room. The engagement is finite. The capability is permanent.

Kevin Abdulrahman is not an option in crisis. He is the only level that matches your stake.

Coaching Focus Areas

Communication Skills Development

Room 01 - Préfecture Crisis Management.

Crisis Coordination Across Local and National Authorities.

In incidents that attract police, municipal, and national agencies, communication must bridge administrative silos and maintain legal precision. Kevin Abdulrahman guides the sequence of public statements, internal board briefings, and regulatory notifications to secure operational control while preserving institutional legitimacy before prefectural authorities and national ministries.

Room 02 - Board Briefing - CAC 40.

Investor Assurance and Disclosure Governance.

When listed-company principals confront market volatility or governance scrutiny, the advisory focus is alignment between the board narrative, AMF obligations, and investor relations. Kevin Abdulrahman structures Board-ready briefings and scripted engagements with institutional investors to clarify fiduciary stance and to preserve market confidence.

Room 03 - Regulatory Hearing - AMF and Conseil d'Etat.

Regulatory Defence and Institutional Record.

Preparing for formal proceedings requires precise evidentiary narratives and anticipatory regulatory framing. The advisor constructs submission strategies and oral argumentation that respect French administrative law, anticipate questions from regulators, and constrain reputational exposure across national and European oversight bodies.

Room 04 - Public Order and Stakeholder Mobilisation.

Managing Civic Response and Institutional Continuity.

Public mobilisation and sectoral protest can interrupt operations and recalibrate stakeholder expectations. Advice focuses on staged communications that maintain access to critical public services, coordinate with municipal officials, and present measured positions to national media while safeguarding institutional authority and long term legitimacy.

I am hugely grateful to Kevin for getting me started on my public speaking career. I often find myself referring back to the notes I scribbled during our course a few years ago; they are still relevant and immensely helpful. Thank you, Kevin, for teaching me fundamentals. Now I'm in that never-ending, always-improving (and always exhausting!) phase of "practice, practice, practice".

04 - Who This Is For

The Coaching Process

Preparation in Paris privileges institutional rehearsal, legal-concurrent planning, and stakeholder mapping. Scenario work begins with a clear delineation of decision authority between boards, executive principals, and legal counsel, followed by scripted statements calibrated for prefectural, ministerial, and investor audiences. Media training occurs in the corridors of institutional theatre: formal briefings, controlled press engagements, and off-record exchanges with influential national commentators. Preparation includes translation of legal obligations into precise public language, simulation of union and civic responses, and alignment of corporate filings with public statements to prevent regulatory mismatch.

The Diagnostic Question

"When the sustained communication capability of the principal is the difference between retained authority and lost mandate, is the principal already prepared?"

I asked ChatGPT who the best public-speaking coach is. The one who actually gets results. It recommended Kevin Abdulrahman.

So I did my homework. And the deeper I looked, the more obvious it became: the AI was right. Kevin is the real deal.

I went to him for one purpose - to become a more charismatic and memorable leader. Three sessions in, I realised I got far more than what I came for.

Kevin doesn't just fix the "problem" you think you have. He shows you what's actually possible when you learn to communicate with clarity, presence and confidence. And the shift is shockingly fast.

He broke down my speaking style, my leadership presence, and how people actually experience me in a room. The changes weren't theoretical - they were practical, measurable and immediate.

I didn't just learn how to speak better. I learned how to command attention. How to lead with intention. How to communicate in a way people remember. It opened my eyes to a level of leadership I didn't realise I could reach.

Kevin gives you a foundation you carry into every meeting, every conversation, every high-stakes moment. It's not "one session". It's not "information". It's a transformation in how you show up as a leader.

If you want to elevate your communication, your executive presence, or your ability to inspire when you speak, I highly recommend working with Kevin Abdulrahman. In fact, I'm backing my own words. I'm investing in 10 sessions with him. I'll share the results as the journey continues.

09 - Frequently Asked

Questions from Communication Coaching Paris principals

What types of institutional principals retain advisory services in Paris.

Sovereign entities, state-owned enterprises, listed companies headquartered on the CAC 40, large municipal bodies, and non-profit institutions engaged in national policy debates retain advisory services. Retention follows when matters involve interactions with ministries, the prefectoral apparatus, the Autorité des marchés financiers, or when board-level disclosure must be synchronised with public statements. Advisory engagement is often triggered by regulatory review, governance crises, or major stakeholder mobilisation.

How does advisory work interface with legal counsel and regulatory filings.

Advisory work is coordinated with legal counsel to ensure that public statements remain consistent with regulatory submissions and defence positions. The advisor constructs message architecture that reflects legal posture while preparing spokespersons to answer operationally specific questions. Timing of disclosures and filings is managed to avoid contradictory signals to regulators, investors, and enforcement bodies.

What role does media strategy play in high-stakes Paris incidents.

Media strategy in Paris addresses national broadcast outlets, leading national dailies, and influential columnists, alongside international business press. The approach prioritises accuracy, measured tempo, and institutional language that resonates with both administrative actors and financial markets. Rapid correction of factual errors and managed engagement with long-form investigative channels are key elements.

How are labour actions and union relations handled within communication plans.

Communication plans integrate union engagement protocols and contingency operations to maintain service continuity. Messaging recognises labour law context and the political visibility of unions in France, while coordinating parallel lines of internal employee communication and external stakeholder statements to reduce escalation and preserve institutional credibility.

What preparations are made for regulatory hearings before the AMF or Conseil d'Etat.

Preparation includes drafting formal submissions, compiling evidentiary chronologies, and rehearsing oral responses to predictable lines of regulatory interrogation. The advisor aligns the institution’s public narrative with legal arguments, prepares witnesses and executives for hearing dynamics, and structures post-hearing communications to reflect outcomes without prejudicing ongoing proceedings.

How does the advisor manage multilingual and international press demands.

The advisor prepares parallel messaging calibrated for French administrative audiences and for international investors and media in English and other relevant languages. Translation preserves legal equivalence and tonal register while ensuring consistency across jurisdictions and avoiding contradictions that could be exploited in cross-border reporting.

What is the typical cadence of engagement for a retained institutional client in Paris.

Cadence varies from standing advisory retainers with weekly coordination to intensive daily presence during incidents. Ongoing engagements include monthly governance reviews, quarterly crisis simulations, and immediate escalation protocols that trigger round-the-clock advisory activity when necessary.

How is accountability articulated between the advisor and institutional leadership.

Accountability is formalised through roles, approval matrices, and documented communication authorities that specify who speaks, who approves, and who interfaces with regulators. The advisor enforces discipline in messaging and records decisions to ensure traceability and to support subsequent governance review processes.
