What Mohamed Al Hashemi Says About Kevin Abdulrahman

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

Why Canada Principals Retain A Leadership Communication Advisor Of Record

Canada's leadership landscape is defined by a distinctive set of institutional pressures that demand communication of exceptional precision, cultural fluency, and strategic intent. Chief executives appearing before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance, board chairs addressing the Toronto Stock Exchange's governance disclosure requirements, and Crown corporation leaders accountable to Parliament through the Privy Council Office all operate in environments where a single miscalibrated message can reshape stakeholder confidence, regulatory posture, and public trust simultaneously. Principals at institutions such as the Business Development Bank of Canada, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, Export Development Canada, and the major Schedule I chartered banks — including Royal Bank of Canada, TD Bank Group, and Bank of Montreal — face communication demands that span bilingual national audiences, Indigenous consultation obligations under the duty to consult doctrine, and the scrutiny of a media landscape anchored by outlets including The Globe and Mail, La Presse, and CBC/Radio-Canada. In this environment, retaining a leadership communication advisor of record is not a discretionary investment; it is a governance imperative. Beyond the financial and regulatory sectors, Canada's principal class extends across resource industries navigating the National Energy Regulator and provincial energy boards, technology leaders engaging the Competition Bureau and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, and university presidents accountable to senates, boards of governors, and provincial ministries of advanced education. The country's federal structure — with fourteen distinct jurisdictions including ten provinces and three territories — means that a message calibrated for Queen's Park in Toronto may require substantive reframing before it lands credibly in the National Assembly in Québec City or before the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in Victoria. Leadership communication advisory provides the architecture for principals to move across these jurisdictions with authority, consistency, and the kind of narrative coherence that sustains institutional reputation over time.

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.

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.

HIGH-STAKES LEADERSHIP CONTEXTS

High-Stakes Leadership Communication Contexts In Canada

PARLIAMENTARY & REGULATORY TESTIMONY

Parliamentary Committee Appearances And Regulatory Hearings

Canada's parliamentary committee system — including the Standing Committee on Finance, the Standing Committee on Natural Resources, and Senate committees such as the Standing Senate Committee on Banking, Commerce and the Economy — subjects principals to adversarial, on-the-record questioning that is broadcast nationally and archived in Hansard. Leadership communication advisory prepares principals to deliver testimony that is simultaneously responsive to committee members, coherent to a bilingual national audience, and protective of institutional positioning. The stakes are compounded when appearances coincide with active proceedings before the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, the Competition Bureau, or provincial securities regulators such as the Ontario Securities Commission.

INDIGENOUS CONSULTATION & RECONCILIATION

Indigenous Consultation, Nation-To-Nation Dialogue, And Reconciliation Communication

Canada's constitutional duty to consult and accommodate Indigenous peoples, affirmed through Supreme Court of Canada decisions and operationalised through the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, places communication obligations on principals in resource, infrastructure, and government sectors that are unlike any other jurisdiction. Leadership communication advisory in this context addresses the protocols, relational framing, and narrative accountability required when engaging First Nations, Métis, and Inuit leadership — including hereditary chiefs, elected band councils, and Tribal Council representatives. Principals who misread the communication register in these settings risk project delays, legal challenges, and reputational damage that no subsequent messaging campaign can fully repair.

BILINGUAL NATIONAL LEADERSHIP

Bilingual Communication Across English And French Canada

Canada's Official Languages Act and the political reality of Québec's distinct cultural identity mean that national principals — whether leading federally regulated institutions, pan-Canadian industry associations such as the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, or Crown corporations — must communicate with equal authority in both official languages and with sensitivity to the values and expectations of Francophone audiences. Leadership communication advisory addresses not merely translation but the substantive reframing of narrative, tone, and institutional positioning required to achieve credibility with audiences in Québec, New Brunswick, and Francophone communities across the country. A message that resonates in Bay Street boardrooms may require fundamental restructuring before it lands with the same authority in Montréal's business community or before the Assemblée nationale.

BOARD GOVERNANCE & SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNTABILITY

Board Governance Communication And Shareholder Accountability Narratives

Principals chairing or presenting to boards of directors at TSX-listed companies, Crown corporations governed under the Financial Administration Act, or major pension funds including the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, and the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan face governance communication demands that require both technical precision and the kind of narrative authority that sustains board confidence through periods of strategic uncertainty. Leadership communication advisory structures the framing, sequencing, and delivery of board presentations, CEO-to-chair communication, and annual general meeting addresses in ways that satisfy institutional governance standards while projecting the leadership conviction that boards and institutional shareholders require. The advisory mandate extends to proxy season communication and the management of activist shareholder narratives.

NATIONAL MEDIA & PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY

National Media Engagement And Public Accountability Communication

Canada's national media environment — anchored by The Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, La Presse, Le Devoir, CBC/Radio-Canada, CTV News, and a robust network of regional outlets — holds principals to a standard of public accountability that is both persistent and unforgiving. Leadership communication advisory prepares principals to engage this landscape with the message discipline, narrative consistency, and institutional authority required to shape coverage rather than merely respond to it. This is particularly consequential for principals navigating simultaneous scrutiny from federal and provincial governments, industry regulators, and civil society organisations, where a single unguarded comment to a Globe and Mail reporter or a CBC Power & Politics panel can reframe weeks of carefully constructed institutional positioning.

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

Which Canada Principals Retain Leadership Communication Advisory

The principals who retain leadership communication advisory in Canada span the full breadth of the country's institutional landscape, united by the common condition of operating at the intersection of high accountability, complex stakeholder environments, and consequential public narrative. Chief executive officers of Schedule I chartered banks and federally regulated financial institutions — including those leading institutions such as Scotiabank, CIBC, and National Bank of Canada — retain advisory support to navigate the simultaneous demands of shareholder communication, regulatory engagement with the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, and the expectations of a national public audience that holds major financial institutions to an elevated standard of social accountability. Presidents and vice-chancellors of Canada's research-intensive universities, including institutions such as the University of Toronto, McGill University, the University of British Columbia, and the University of Alberta, retain leadership communication advisory to manage the competing demands of academic governance, provincial government relations, federal research funding bodies such as the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, and increasingly vocal student and faculty constituencies. Beyond these sectors, the advisory mandate extends to premiers and ministers navigating federal-provincial relations through mechanisms such as the Council of the Federation, to chief executives of major Crown corporations including Canada Post, VIA Rail Canada, and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, and to the leaders of national industry associations including the Canadian Bankers Association, the Mining Association of Canada, and the Business Council of Canada. Indigenous leaders — including National Chief-level principals at the Assembly of First Nations and regional chiefs engaging federal and provincial governments on treaty rights and resource development — retain leadership communication advisory to ensure their institutional voice carries the authority and strategic coherence required in high-stakes national dialogues. Across all of these principal types, the common thread is the recognition that leadership communication is not a soft skill but a strategic asset that requires the same quality of professional advisory support as legal, financial, and governance counsel.

The Diagnostic Question

"When the internal voice of the organisation must carry the weight of the mandate, is the leader already prepared to be the message?"

06 - How It Begins

The Leadership Communication Advisory Mandate In Canada

Canada occupies a unique position in the global leadership communication landscape, shaped by a federal structure of extraordinary complexity, a bilingual national identity with deep constitutional roots, a resource-based economy that places principals at the centre of some of the world's most contested environmental and Indigenous rights debates, and a civic culture that demands transparency and accountability from institutional leaders in ways that few other democracies replicate with the same consistency. The leadership communication advisory mandate in this country is therefore not a generic service applied to a generic context — it is a highly specialised discipline that requires deep familiarity with the specific institutions, regulatory frameworks, political dynamics, and cultural expectations that define the Canadian principal's operating environment. The consequences of communication failure at the principal level in Canada are both immediate and durable. A chief executive who mishandles testimony before a House of Commons committee may find that the resulting Hansard record becomes a reference point for journalists, regulators, and political opponents for years. A board chair who fails to communicate a governance narrative with sufficient clarity during proxy season may face an activist campaign that reshapes the institution's strategic agenda. A premier who cannot hold a coherent bilingual communication posture risks fracturing the national coalition of support that provincial leadership requires. These are not hypothetical risks — they are the lived experience of Canadian principals who have navigated these environments without adequate advisory support. Leadership communication advisory in Canada provides principals with the strategic architecture, message discipline, and situational intelligence to lead with authority across all of these contexts. It is the discipline that transforms a technically capable leader into a nationally credible one — and in a country as institutionally complex and publicly accountable as Canada, that transformation is among the most consequential investments a principal can make.

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 Canada principals

What distinguishes leadership communication advisory from general communication consulting in the Canadian context?

Leadership communication advisory is a retained, principal-level discipline focused exclusively on the strategic communication posture, narrative architecture, and situational judgment of the individual leader — not the organisation's broader communications function. In Canada, this distinction is particularly important because principals operate across a uniquely complex set of institutional environments: federal and provincial regulatory bodies, bilingual national audiences, Indigenous consultation obligations, and a parliamentary accountability system that places individual leaders under direct public scrutiny. A general communications consultant may manage an organisation's messaging calendar or media relations programme; a leadership communication advisor of record works directly with the principal to ensure that every high-stakes communication — whether before a House of Commons committee, a TSX board, or a national media audience — reflects the strategic intent, institutional authority, and personal credibility that the moment demands.

How does the bilingual requirement of Canada's Official Languages Act affect leadership communication advisory?

Canada's Official Languages Act creates a communication obligation for principals leading federally regulated institutions, Crown corporations, and national organisations that goes well beyond linguistic competence. Leadership communication advisory in this context addresses the substantive differences in narrative framing, rhetorical register, and institutional values that distinguish effective communication with English-Canadian and Francophone audiences. A principal who delivers the same message in translated form without adapting its underlying assumptions and cultural references will often find that it lands with diminished authority in Québec or New Brunswick. Advisory support ensures that the principal's communication posture is genuinely bilingual — not merely translated — and that the leader can engage Francophone media, the Assemblée nationale, and Québec's business community with the same credibility they project in English-language contexts.

Which Canadian regulatory bodies most frequently require principals to communicate under high-stakes conditions?

Canadian principals face high-stakes communication demands from a range of federal and provincial regulatory bodies. At the federal level, the most consequential include the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions for banking and insurance sector leaders, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission for media and telecommunications principals, the Competition Bureau for merger and acquisition contexts, the National Energy Regulator for pipeline and energy infrastructure leaders, and the full range of House of Commons and Senate standing committees that call executives and institutional leaders to testify. At the provincial level, securities regulators — particularly the Ontario Securities Commission and the Autorité des marchés financiers in Québec — create significant communication obligations for listed company principals. Leadership communication advisory prepares principals to engage all of these bodies with the message discipline and institutional authority that the regulatory relationship requires.

How does leadership communication advisory support principals navigating Indigenous consultation obligations in Canada?

Canada's constitutional duty to consult and accommodate Indigenous peoples, reinforced by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act and a substantial body of Supreme Court of Canada jurisprudence, places communication obligations on principals in resource, infrastructure, and government sectors that are unlike those in any other jurisdiction. Leadership communication advisory in this context is not about scripting talking points — it is about helping principals understand the relational, protocol-based, and values-driven communication expectations of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit leadership, and developing the authentic communication posture required to engage those expectations with credibility. Principals who approach Indigenous consultation as a compliance exercise rather than a genuine leadership communication challenge consistently produce outcomes that damage relationships, delay projects, and expose their institutions to legal and reputational risk.

What role does leadership communication advisory play during federal or provincial budget cycles and fiscal policy announcements?

Federal and provincial budget cycles in Canada create concentrated periods of high-stakes communication for principals across the financial services, resource, technology, and not-for-profit sectors. When the Minister of Finance tables the federal budget, or when provincial finance ministers deliver their fiscal plans, principals at major institutions — from the chartered banks and pension funds to industry associations such as the Business Council of Canada and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce — are immediately called upon to interpret, respond to, and position their organisations relative to the announced measures. Leadership communication advisory ensures that principals can move quickly and authoritatively in these windows, with pre-developed narrative frameworks that allow them to engage national media, government stakeholders, and their own boards and employees with a coherent and strategically calibrated message rather than an improvised reaction.

How does leadership communication advisory address the specific demands of Canada's national media landscape?

Canada's national media landscape presents principals with a distinctive set of communication challenges. The country's major outlets — including The Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, La Presse, Le Devoir, CBC/Radio-Canada, and CTV News — operate with strong traditions of investigative accountability journalism and are supported by a network of regional outlets that amplify national stories into local political contexts. Leadership communication advisory prepares principals not merely to respond to media inquiries but to engage the national media landscape as a strategic communication channel — understanding which outlets shape which audiences, how to develop relationships with key journalists and bureau chiefs, and how to construct a narrative posture that is durable enough to withstand the scrutiny of a sustained investigative cycle. In Canada's bilingual media environment, this advisory work must address both English and French-language outlets with equal strategic sophistication.

Can leadership communication advisory support principals who lead organisations operating across multiple Canadian provinces?

Multi-jurisdictional leadership communication is one of the most demanding challenges in the Canadian principal's portfolio, and it is a core area of leadership communication advisory. Canada's federal structure means that a principal leading a national organisation — whether a chartered bank, a pan-Canadian retailer, a national union, or a federal Crown corporation — must communicate with authority and cultural fluency across jurisdictions that have meaningfully different political cultures, regulatory environments, and public expectations. A communication posture calibrated for Bay Street may require substantive reframing before it resonates in Alberta's energy sector, Québec's distinct civil law and Francophone context, or British Columbia's resource and Indigenous rights landscape. Leadership communication advisory provides the jurisdictional intelligence and narrative architecture that allows principals to maintain a coherent national leadership voice while adapting their communication with the precision that each provincial context demands.

How is a leadership communication advisor of record engaged, and what does the ongoing advisory relationship look like for a Canadian principal?

A leadership communication advisor of record is retained on an ongoing basis — not engaged project by project — because the most consequential communication challenges facing Canadian principals rarely announce themselves in advance. The advisory relationship is structured to provide the principal with consistent, confidential access to strategic communication counsel across the full range of situations they encounter: parliamentary testimony, board presentations, national media engagements, Indigenous consultation processes, bilingual public addresses, and the internal leadership communication that shapes organisational culture and employee confidence. In practice, the relationship involves regular strategic sessions to develop and refine the principal's core narrative architecture, situational preparation for specific high-stakes engagements, and real-time advisory support when unexpected communication demands arise. For principals operating at the level of Canada's major institutions — whether in the financial sector, government, resource industries, or the university system — this kind of retained advisory relationship is the standard of care that the complexity and consequence of their communication environment requires.
