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 Strategy for Winnipeg Organizations

Effective leadership communication requires more than good speaking skills. Organizations in Winnipeg benefit from strategic frameworks that align messaging across departments, clarify decision-making processes, and ensure consistency during periods of change. Kevin Abdulrahman works with executive teams to assess current communication gaps, identify audience needs, and build sustainable systems for delivering information. This approach addresses common challenges: unclear priorities that confuse staff, inconsistent messages that undermine credibility, and communication breakdowns that slow execution. By establishing clear communication protocols and training leaders to communicate with precision, organizations reduce misalignment and increase operational effectiveness. The work includes developing communication plans for specific initiatives, coaching executives on message delivery, and creating feedback loops that improve future communications. Winnipeg leaders across sectors—healthcare, education, government, and private industry—benefit from communication audits that reveal where clarity is lost and where trust can be strengthened. The goal is not eloquence for its own sake, but communication that serves organizational objectives and respects the time and attention of employees and stakeholders.

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.

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

Why Communication Matters to Winnipeg Organizations

Poor communication costs organizations time, money, and credibility. When leaders fail to communicate clearly, employees waste effort on misaligned priorities. When messages conflict, stakeholders lose confidence. When communication happens inconsistently, people stop paying attention. Winnipeg organizations that invest in communication strategy see measurable improvements: faster decision-making, higher employee engagement, clearer accountability, and stronger stakeholder relationships. Communication is not a soft skill—it is infrastructure. Just as physical infrastructure supports operations, communication infrastructure supports alignment and execution. Leaders who communicate well create organizations where people understand what matters, why it matters, and what they are expected to do. This clarity reduces friction and accelerates progress toward organizational goals.

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?"

Verified Client · 5-Star Google Review

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 Winnipeg principals

What does a communication audit involve?

A communication audit examines current practices across the organization: how information flows, where messages get lost, which channels work well, and where leaders struggle. It includes interviews with stakeholders, review of existing communications, and assessment of communication infrastructure. The result is a clear picture of communication strengths and gaps.

How do you help leaders communicate during organizational change?

Change communication requires clear, consistent messaging from the start. Kevin Abdulrahman helps leaders plan what to communicate, when, and to whom. This includes preparing leaders to answer tough questions, establishing feedback loops to address concerns, and maintaining communication consistency across multiple channels and time periods.

Can communication coaching help with difficult conversations?

Yes. Difficult conversations—performance feedback, layoffs, strategy shifts—require specific skills. Coaching prepares leaders to listen actively, deliver messages clearly, and manage emotions in high-stakes situations. Practice and feedback help leaders build confidence and effectiveness.

What is a communication strategy, and why do organizations need one?

A communication strategy outlines what the organization needs to communicate, to whom, through which channels, and with what frequency. It ensures consistency and prevents important messages from getting lost. Strategy also clarifies roles and responsibilities so communication does not fall through cracks.

How long does it take to see improvement in organizational communication?

Some improvements appear quickly—within weeks, leaders communicate more clearly and stakeholders respond. Systemic improvements take longer, typically three to six months, as new communication practices become embedded in how the organization operates.

Do you work with boards on communication?

Yes. Board communication often needs attention. This includes how boards communicate with executives, how the board chair communicates with the full board, and how the organization communicates with the board. Clearer board communication improves governance and decision-making.

What industries do you work with in Winnipeg?

Kevin Abdulrahman works with organizations across sectors: healthcare systems, educational institutions, government agencies, nonprofits, and private companies. The communication principles are similar, though industry context shapes specific applications.

How do you measure communication effectiveness?

Effectiveness is measured through multiple indicators: employee understanding of strategy, stakeholder feedback, speed of decision-making, consistency of messaging, and engagement metrics. Pre- and post-engagement assessments show where communication has improved.

Can communication work address internal conflict?

Often, conflict stems from unclear communication or misaligned understanding. Better communication processes, clearer decision-making frameworks, and more consistent messaging reduce friction. In some cases, communication work surfaces underlying issues that require additional attention.

What is included in crisis communication planning?

Crisis planning includes identifying potential scenarios, developing response protocols, designating spokespersons, drafting message templates, and conducting practice scenarios. The goal is to respond quickly and consistently when a crisis occurs, protecting reputation and maintaining stakeholder confidence.
