What Mohamed Al Hashemi Says About Kevin Abdulrahman

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

Why Chile Principals Retain A Leadership Communication Advisor Of Record

Chile's leadership landscape is defined by concentrated accountability and heightened public scrutiny. Principals operating within the Consejo de Administración of Santiago Exchange-listed companies, the boards of state-owned enterprises such as CODELCO and Banco Estado, and the executive committees of conglomerates like Empresas CMPC, Falabella, and Antarchile face a communication environment where a single misaligned statement can reshape stakeholder confidence, regulatory posture, or market valuation. The Comisión para el Mercado Financiero has progressively tightened disclosure expectations, and the Contraloría General de la República maintains rigorous oversight of public-sector leadership conduct. In this context, principals do not simply need communication skills — they need a trusted advisor who understands the architecture of authority, the cadence of institutional trust, and the precise language that sustains both across every high-stakes interaction. Beyond regulatory and financial audiences, Chile's leadership principals must navigate a society that has undergone profound social transformation since the 2019 estallido social, which fundamentally altered the expectations citizens and employees place on institutional leaders. The Asociación de Empresas Chilenas and the Confederación de la Producción y del Comercio have both acknowledged that leadership legitimacy is now earned through consistent, values-aligned communication — not merely through operational performance. Principals leading organisations through Chile's energy transition, copper sector reform, pension system debates, and constitutional discourse require an advisor who can help them articulate complex positions with clarity, credibility, and cultural resonance. A Leadership Communication Advisor of Record provides that sustained, confidential counsel — shaping how a principal speaks to the Senado, addresses a workforce in Antofagasta, or frames a strategic pivot to an international investor audience in Santiago's Sanhattan financial district.

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.

HIGH-STAKES LEADERSHIP CONTEXTS

High-Stakes Leadership Communication Contexts In Chile

BOARD & GOVERNANCE COMMUNICATION

Directorio Presentations And Governance Accountability

Chile's publicly listed companies operating under the Ley de Mercado de Valores and supervised by the Comisión para el Mercado Financiero require their senior principals to communicate with directorios in ways that are simultaneously precise, strategically framed, and governance-compliant. A principal who cannot command the room at a Falabella, Enel Chile, or SQM board session risks losing institutional authority at the moment it matters most. Leadership communication advisory ensures that every directorio interaction — whether a routine quarterly update or a contentious strategic proposal — is structured to build trust, demonstrate command, and advance the principal's mandate with clarity and conviction.

GOVERNMENT & REGULATORY ENGAGEMENT

Ministerial And Congressional Communication In Santiago

Chile's principals in the mining, energy, financial, and infrastructure sectors routinely engage with the Ministerio de Hacienda, the Ministerio de Energía, the Ministerio de Minería, and congressional committees in the Congreso Nacional in Valparaíso. These interactions demand a communication register that is authoritative without being adversarial, technically credible without being inaccessible, and politically aware without being partisan. Leadership communication advisory prepares principals to navigate these engagements with the institutional gravitas and message discipline required to influence policy outcomes, protect operating licences, and sustain long-term relationships with Chile's regulatory and legislative architecture.

WORKFORCE & ORGANISATIONAL LEADERSHIP

Leading Large Workforces Across Chile's Regions

From CODELCO's operations in the Atacama Desert to Arauco's forestry workforce in La Araucanía and Enap's refinery teams in Biobío, Chile's major employers require principals who can communicate with authenticity and authority across geographically dispersed, culturally distinct workforces. Post-estallido social, employees expect leaders to speak with transparency about organisational direction, social commitments, and shared purpose — not simply to deliver top-down directives. Leadership communication advisory equips principals with the frameworks and language to lead through change, address labour tensions, and build the kind of organisational trust that sustains productivity and retention across Chile's diverse regional workforce landscape.

INTERNATIONAL & CROSS-BORDER LEADERSHIP

Representing Chilean Institutions On The Global Stage

Chile's position as Latin America's most internationally integrated economy — anchored by its network of free trade agreements and the prominence of institutions like the Banco Central de Chile in global monetary forums — places its principals in frequent dialogue with international counterparts, multilateral bodies, and foreign investors. Whether addressing the Inter-American Development Bank, engaging sovereign wealth fund managers in New York or London, or representing Chilean interests at APEC or COP summits, principals must project a leadership communication standard that commands international respect. Advisory support ensures that Chilean leaders translate domestic authority into global credibility without losing the cultural authenticity that defines their institutional identity.

STRATEGIC TRANSFORMATION COMMUNICATION

Communicating Major Strategic Shifts To Chile's Stakeholders

Chile's corporate and public-sector principals are navigating some of the most consequential strategic transformations in the country's modern history — including the lithium nationalisation agenda, the energy matrix decarbonisation programme, the pension reform debate, and the restructuring of major conglomerates following succession transitions at family-controlled groups such as Luksic and Matte. Each of these transformations requires a principal who can communicate strategic rationale with conviction, manage competing stakeholder narratives, and sustain institutional confidence through uncertainty. Leadership communication advisory provides the structured counsel that enables principals to lead these pivotal moments with the clarity, consistency, and credibility that complex transformation demands.

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 Chile Principals Retain Leadership Communication Advisory

The principals who retain Leadership Communication Advisory in Chile span the full breadth of the country's institutional leadership. Chief executives of Santiago Exchange-listed companies — including those leading Banco de Chile, Latam Airlines, Cencosud, and Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile — retain advisory support to ensure their communication across investor, regulatory, and public audiences is consistently authoritative and strategically aligned. Chairpersons and independent directors serving on the directorios of Chile's major corporations and state-owned enterprises engage advisory services to sharpen their governance communication, manage boardroom dynamics, and represent their institutions with precision in high-accountability settings. Public-sector principals — including ministers, undersecretaries, and senior officials within the Gobierno de Chile, as well as the leadership of autonomous institutions such as the Banco Central de Chile and the Fiscalía Nacional Económica — retain advisory support to navigate the intersection of policy communication, institutional credibility, and public trust. Regional governors and municipal leaders in Chile's major urban centres, including Santiago, Valparaíso, Concepción, and Antofagasta, increasingly seek advisory counsel as decentralisation places greater communication demands on sub-national leadership. In the private sector, founding principals and second-generation leaders of Chile's prominent family business groups — navigating succession, internationalisation, or reputational complexity — rely on a trusted advisor to help them communicate their evolving leadership identity with coherence and authority. Across all these principal types, the common thread is the recognition that leadership communication is not a peripheral skill but a core strategic capability that must be actively developed, refined, and protected by someone with the expertise and discretion to serve as a true advisor of record.

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 Chile

Chile occupies a singular position in Latin America — a country whose institutional maturity, economic openness, and social complexity create a leadership communication environment unlike any other in the region. The principals who lead Chile's most consequential institutions operate at the intersection of demanding capital markets, an increasingly assertive civil society, a politically engaged workforce, and a regulatory architecture that has grown substantially more rigorous in the years following the 2019 social uprising. In this environment, the quality of a principal's communication is not merely a reflection of personal style — it is a direct determinant of institutional trust, stakeholder alignment, and organisational resilience. The mandate for Leadership Communication Advisory in Chile is grounded in the recognition that the country's leadership class faces communication challenges of genuine complexity. The ongoing debates around pension reform, lithium policy, indigenous land rights in La Araucanía, and the role of the state in strategic industries all create environments in which principals must communicate with extraordinary care — balancing transparency with strategic discipline, conviction with openness to dialogue, and institutional authority with human accessibility. These are not challenges that can be addressed through occasional coaching or generic communication training. They require a sustained advisory relationship with a principal who understands the full context of Chile's political economy, social dynamics, and institutional expectations. Furthermore, Chile's integration into global trade and investment networks means that its principals are increasingly judged by international communication standards while simultaneously being held accountable to domestic audiences with their own distinct expectations. A Leadership Communication Advisor of record bridges that gap — ensuring that Chile's principals can command authority in Santiago's boardrooms, in Valparaíso's congressional chambers, in the mining communities of the Norte Grande, and on the global stages where Chile's institutional reputation is shaped and sustained.

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 Chile principals

What distinguishes Leadership Communication Advisory from general communication training in the Chilean context?

Leadership Communication Advisory is a sustained, confidential advisory relationship tailored to a specific principal's institutional role, stakeholder landscape, and strategic objectives — not a training programme or workshop. In Chile, where principals must navigate the Comisión para el Mercado Financiero's disclosure requirements, the expectations of family-controlled conglomerates, and the heightened social accountability that emerged from the 2019 estallido social, generic communication training is insufficient. An advisor of record works alongside the principal across every high-stakes context — from directorio presentations to congressional testimony to workforce addresses — providing real-time counsel, message architecture, and strategic communication guidance that is specific to Chile's institutional and cultural environment.

Which industries in Chile most commonly require Leadership Communication Advisory?

The industries with the highest demand for Leadership Communication Advisory in Chile are those operating at the intersection of public scrutiny, regulatory complexity, and strategic transformation. Mining — particularly copper and lithium — is foremost among these, given the prominence of CODELCO, SQM, and Antofagasta Minerals and the intense policy debates around resource nationalisation. The financial services sector, including Banco de Chile, BancoEstado, and the major AFP pension fund administrators, faces significant communication demands amid ongoing pension reform debates. Energy companies navigating Chile's decarbonisation agenda, retail and consumer conglomerates managing post-estallido reputational complexity, and public-sector institutions undergoing structural reform all represent principal environments where advisory support is consistently sought.

How does Leadership Communication Advisory address the post-estallido social expectations placed on Chilean leaders?

The 2019 estallido social fundamentally recalibrated what Chilean society expects from institutional leaders. Principals who communicate in ways that appear disconnected from social reality, dismissive of inequality concerns, or overly corporate in register face rapid erosion of public trust and employee confidence. Leadership Communication Advisory helps principals develop a communication posture that is authentic, values-aligned, and socially aware — without sacrificing strategic clarity or institutional authority. This includes advising on how to address workforce concerns in sectors like retail and utilities, how to engage with community stakeholders in regions affected by mining or forestry operations, and how to frame organisational positions on social issues in ways that are credible and consistent with the principal's leadership identity.

Can Leadership Communication Advisory support Chilean principals who engage with international audiences?

Yes — and this is an increasingly critical dimension of advisory work for Chile's senior principals. As Chile deepens its integration into global trade networks and its companies expand internationally, principals must communicate with credibility across cultural and institutional contexts that differ significantly from the domestic environment. Advisory support prepares Chilean principals for engagements with multilateral institutions such as the IMF and Inter-American Development Bank, international investor roadshows in New York, London, and Hong Kong, APEC and COP forums where Chile plays an active role, and cross-border M&A or partnership negotiations. The advisor ensures that the principal's communication projects the authority and clarity expected by international audiences while retaining the cultural authenticity that defines their Chilean institutional identity.

How does Leadership Communication Advisory support principals navigating Chile's pension and social policy debates?

Chile's pension reform debate is one of the most politically and socially charged communication environments in the country's recent history. Principals leading AFP administrators, financial institutions, employer associations like the Confederación de la Producción y del Comercio, or government ministries involved in the reform process face the challenge of communicating complex technical positions to audiences with deeply held emotional stakes in the outcome. Leadership Communication Advisory helps these principals develop messaging that is technically credible, publicly accessible, and strategically consistent — enabling them to engage with congressional committees, media audiences, and employee groups without inadvertently inflaming tensions or undermining their institutional credibility. The advisor provides the message architecture and communication discipline required to navigate this debate with authority and integrity.

What role does Leadership Communication Advisory play during leadership succession in Chilean family business groups?

Chile's major family-controlled business groups — including those associated with the Luksic, Matte, Angelini, and Said families — face distinctive communication challenges during leadership succession. The transition from a founding or long-tenured principal to a new generation of leadership requires careful management of internal and external narratives to sustain stakeholder confidence, preserve institutional identity, and establish the incoming principal's authority. Leadership Communication Advisory supports both outgoing and incoming principals through this process — helping the departing leader communicate a legacy narrative that reinforces institutional continuity, and helping the incoming leader develop a communication posture that is authentically their own while commanding the respect of boards, employees, and external stakeholders who may have deep loyalty to the previous leadership.

How does Leadership Communication Advisory differ for public-sector principals in Chile compared to corporate leaders?

Public-sector principals in Chile — including ministers, undersecretaries, regional governors, and the leadership of autonomous institutions such as the Banco Central de Chile — operate in a communication environment shaped by constitutional accountability, political scrutiny, and the expectations of a citizenry that has grown significantly more demanding of institutional transparency. Unlike corporate principals, whose primary communication audiences are investors, boards, and employees, public-sector principals must simultaneously address the Congreso Nacional, the media, civil society organisations, and the general public — often on issues of profound social sensitivity. Leadership Communication Advisory for public-sector principals focuses on developing the institutional voice, message discipline, and stakeholder communication frameworks that enable them to lead with authority and credibility across this complex, multi-audience environment.

How is confidentiality maintained in a Leadership Communication Advisory relationship with a Chilean principal?

Confidentiality is the foundational condition of any effective Leadership Communication Advisory relationship, and this is especially true in Chile's relatively concentrated business and political elite, where reputational dynamics are closely observed and institutional relationships are deeply interconnected. An advisor of record operates under strict professional discretion — never disclosing the existence of the advisory relationship, the content of counsel provided, or the strategic communication challenges the principal is navigating. This confidentiality enables the principal to engage with complete candour, sharing the full complexity of their institutional situation without concern that sensitive information will be exposed. The advisory relationship is structured to function as a private, trusted counsel — analogous in its discretion to the relationship a principal maintains with their legal or financial advisors.
