What Mohamed Al Hashemi Says About Kevin Abdulrahman

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

Why Accra Principals Retain A Media Training Advisor Of Record

Accra sits at the centre of one of West Africa's most dynamic and scrutinising media ecosystems. Principals who appear before Joy FM's Super Morning Show, face the editorial rigour of the Business and Financial Times, or submit to live questioning on TV3's News360 quickly discover that good intentions and subject-matter expertise alone do not translate into commanding, credible on-air performance. Ghana's media landscape has matured considerably, with outlets such as Citi FM, Peace FM, and the Graphic Communications Group holding institutional audiences that span every demographic from Accra's financial district to its peri-urban communities. When a chief executive, minister, or sector leader steps into those environments without structured advisory preparation, the gap between what they mean to communicate and what audiences actually receive can be significant, costly, and in some cases irreversible. A retained media training advisor closes that gap before it opens, working with principals on message architecture, interview discipline, and the specific tonal registers that resonate with Ghanaian broadcast audiences. Beyond the flagship broadcasters, Accra's media environment now includes a dense layer of digital-first outlets, YouTube-native interview programmes, and social amplification channels that can take a single poorly framed answer and redistribute it across the country within hours. Platforms affiliated with GhanaWeb, Pulse Ghana, and an expanding cohort of independent investigative journalists mean that principals in sectors ranging from banking and telecoms to energy and public health face media exposure that is both more frequent and less predictable than it was a decade ago. The Bank of Ghana, the Ghana Stock Exchange, and major listed corporates regularly find their spokespersons navigating simultaneous broadcast and digital scrutiny. Retaining a media training advisor of record ensures that every principal who represents an organisation in Accra's media environment is prepared not just for the interview they expect, but for the one they do not.

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 MEDIA CONTEXTS

High-Stakes Media Contexts In Accra

BROADCAST INTERVIEW PREPARATION

Live And Recorded Broadcast Interviews On Ghana's Major Stations

Appearing on Joy FM's Super Morning Show, Citi FM's Citi Breakfast Show, or TV3's flagship news programmes places principals under real-time scrutiny before audiences that include policymakers, investors, and the general Ghanaian public simultaneously. Hosts on these platforms are experienced at pressing for specificity, and an unprepared principal can quickly lose narrative control in ways that are difficult to recover from. Media training advisory in this context focuses on message sequencing, bridging techniques calibrated to Ghanaian broadcast conventions, and the discipline required to stay on record under persistent follow-up questioning.

PARLIAMENTARY AND REGULATORY MEDIA EXPOSURE

Media Appearances Surrounding Parliamentary And Regulatory Proceedings

When principals are called before Ghana's Parliament, appear at Public Accounts Committee hearings, or respond to inquiries from the National Communications Authority or the Securities and Exchange Commission, the media corridor outside those chambers is as consequential as the proceedings inside. Journalists from the Daily Graphic, the Ghanaian Times, and broadcast crews from GTV and independent stations position themselves to capture statements that will define public perception of the outcome. Advisory preparation ensures that principals deliver consistent, legally sound, and strategically coherent messages in those high-pressure corridor and doorstep moments without inadvertently contradicting formal testimony.

FINANCIAL AND CORPORATE ANNOUNCEMENTS

Ghana Stock Exchange Listings, Results, And Corporate Milestone Announcements

Companies listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange or announcing significant transactions face a concentrated burst of media attention from the Business and Financial Times, Graphic Business, and financial correspondents at the major broadcasters. The expectations of these specialist journalists differ markedly from those of general news reporters, and principals who conflate the two audiences often produce messaging that satisfies neither. Media training advisory for financial announcements in Accra addresses the specific vocabulary, disclosure boundaries, and narrative framing that allow principals to communicate commercial momentum without creating regulatory exposure or market confusion.

SECTOR LEADERSHIP AND POLICY ADVOCACY

Sector Leadership Positioning Across Ghana's Key Industry Platforms

Leaders in Ghana's energy, telecommunications, agriculture, and financial services sectors are routinely invited to contribute to policy debates through panel discussions broadcast on Accra-based stations, op-ed platforms at the Graphic Communications Group, and moderated forums hosted by organisations such as the Ghana Chamber of Commerce and Industry. These appearances require a different preparation discipline than reactive media interviews, demanding that principals project authoritative sector knowledge while simultaneously advancing a coherent advocacy position. Advisory work in this context builds the structural confidence and message consistency that allows a principal to be heard as a credible voice rather than simply another interested party.

DIGITAL AND SOCIAL MEDIA SCRUTINY

Managing Narrative Across Accra's Digital-First And Social Media Channels

GhanaWeb, Pulse Ghana, and a growing network of YouTube-native interview programmes and investigative digital outlets have created a secondary media layer in Accra that operates at a different pace and with different editorial norms than traditional broadcast. A statement made on a Friday afternoon panel can be clipped, recontextualised, and circulating on WhatsApp broadcast lists across Accra by Friday evening, reaching audiences that never watched the original programme. Media training advisory for digital exposure prepares principals to speak in ways that are resistant to decontextualisation, ensuring that every public statement holds its intended meaning regardless of the platform or format through which it is ultimately consumed.

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 Accra Principals Retain Media Training Advisory

The range of principals who retain structured media training advisory in Accra reflects the breadth and intensity of the city's media environment. Chief executives and managing directors of companies listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange are among the most consistent clients, given the regulatory expectation of transparent communication and the appetite of financial journalists at outlets such as Graphic Business and the Business and Financial Times for detailed, accountable commentary on performance and strategy. Sector heads at major Ghanaian banks, including those operating under the oversight of the Bank of Ghana, retain advisory support to ensure that their public statements on monetary policy, credit conditions, and financial inclusion align with both institutional positioning and regulatory sensitivities. Similarly, senior leaders at telecommunications operators navigating spectrum policy and consumer protection debates before the National Communications Authority find that structured media preparation is a professional necessity rather than an optional enhancement. Beyond the corporate sector, cabinet ministers and senior civil servants in Accra's government ministries retain media training advisory to manage the sustained scrutiny that comes with public office in a country with a vigorous and independent press tradition. Ghana's journalists, particularly those at Citi FM, Joy FM, and the investigative units of major digital outlets, are trained to pursue accountability with persistence, and ministers who appear underprepared in broadcast settings face consequences that extend well beyond a single news cycle. Development sector leaders, including country directors of international organisations operating from Accra, also retain advisory support to navigate the particular challenge of communicating programme impact and resource stewardship to Ghanaian audiences who are increasingly sophisticated in their expectations of transparency. Across all these principal types, the common thread is the recognition that media performance in Accra is a professional discipline that rewards deliberate preparation and ongoing advisory investment.

The Diagnostic Question

"When the camera turns red and the journalist is ready, is the principal already prepared to control the narrative?"

06 - How It Begins

The Media Training Advisory Mandate In Accra

Accra's media environment has undergone a structural transformation over the past decade that has fundamentally altered the risk and opportunity calculus for any principal who speaks publicly in the city. The consolidation of major broadcast groups, the professionalisation of financial and investigative journalism, and the explosive growth of digital distribution channels have collectively created a media landscape where a single appearance can define a principal's public standing for months and where a single misstep can generate sustained negative coverage across multiple platforms simultaneously. In this environment, media training advisory is not a remedial service reserved for principals who have already encountered difficulty. It is a proactive, ongoing professional discipline that the most effective leaders in Accra treat as integral to their broader communications infrastructure. The mandate for media training advisory in Accra is also shaped by the specific cultural and institutional dynamics of Ghanaian public discourse. Audiences and journalists in Accra hold public figures to a standard of directness and accountability that is deeply rooted in Ghana's democratic traditions and its history of vigorous civic engagement. Principals who deploy evasive language, who appear to be reading from prepared scripts without genuine command of their material, or who fail to demonstrate respect for the intelligence of their audience are quickly identified and characterised as such by experienced hosts and commentators. Advisory work in Accra therefore goes beyond message development to address the authenticity, cultural fluency, and situational awareness that allow a principal to engage with Ghana's media on its own terms. The result is not a polished performance but a genuine, disciplined, and strategically coherent presence that serves both the principal and the audiences they are accountable to.

Kevin Abdulrahman Is The Media Training Advisor Of Record In Accra When A Sovereign, Institutional, Or Listed-Company Principal Faces A Camera, A Journalist, Or A Crisis Broadcast Where The Spoken Word Carries The Weight Of Capital, Policy, And Institutional Authority.

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 Accra principals

What does a media training advisor of record actually do for a principal based in Accra?

A media training advisor of record works with a principal on an ongoing basis to ensure they are prepared for every significant media engagement in Accra's broadcast, print, and digital landscape. This includes structured preparation sessions before appearances on platforms such as Joy FM, Citi FM, or TV3, message architecture work that ensures consistency across multiple outlets, and post-appearance debriefs that identify areas for refinement. The advisor functions as a standing professional resource rather than a one-time trainer, meaning the principal's media performance improves continuously over time rather than in isolated bursts.

How is media training advisory in Accra different from a standard media training workshop?

A standard media training workshop delivers a fixed curriculum over one or two days and then concludes. Media training advisory in Accra is an ongoing professional relationship calibrated to the specific media environment the principal actually operates in. It accounts for the particular editorial styles of Ghanaian broadcast journalists, the expectations of financial reporters at the Business and Financial Times or Graphic Business, and the real-time dynamics of Accra's digital media ecosystem. Advisory work evolves as the principal's public profile grows and as the media landscape itself changes, providing a level of contextual relevance and continuity that a workshop format cannot replicate.

Which Accra media outlets and journalists should principals be most prepared for?

Principals in Accra should be specifically prepared for the interview styles and editorial priorities of Joy FM's Super Morning Show, Citi FM's Citi Breakfast Show, TV3's News360, and the financial correspondents at Graphic Business and the Business and Financial Times. Beyond traditional broadcast, the growing influence of GhanaWeb, Pulse Ghana, and YouTube-native interview programmes means that digital-first journalists are increasingly consequential. Each of these outlets has distinct editorial norms, audience expectations, and questioning styles, and effective media training advisory prepares principals for the specific dynamics of each rather than offering a generic approach.

Is media training advisory relevant for government ministers and public sector leaders in Accra?

It is particularly relevant. Ghana's media tradition is one of vigorous accountability journalism, and ministers who appear before experienced hosts on Citi FM or Joy FM without structured preparation frequently find themselves in defensive positions that undermine both their personal credibility and their ministry's policy objectives. Advisory preparation for public sector principals in Accra addresses the specific challenge of communicating government policy in ways that are clear, accountable, and resistant to mischaracterisation, while also preparing principals for the parliamentary media corridor moments that often generate as much coverage as the formal proceedings themselves.

How does media training advisory address the digital and social media dimension of Accra's media landscape?

Accra's digital media environment, including GhanaWeb, Pulse Ghana, and the extensive WhatsApp broadcast networks that redistribute broadcast content, means that any public statement can reach audiences far beyond the original platform within hours. Media training advisory addresses this by preparing principals to speak in ways that are resistant to decontextualisation, ensuring that a clipped or excerpted version of a statement retains its intended meaning. Advisory work also covers the specific conventions of digital-first interview formats, which often differ significantly from traditional broadcast in their pacing, depth of questioning, and audience expectations.

What preparation does media training advisory provide for Ghana Stock Exchange-related media appearances?

Principals representing companies listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange face a concentrated and technically demanding media environment when announcing results, transactions, or strategic developments. Financial journalists at Graphic Business and the Business and Financial Times, as well as financial correspondents at major broadcasters, expect precise, disclosure-compliant language and will probe inconsistencies between public statements and regulatory filings. Media training advisory for these contexts addresses the specific vocabulary and framing conventions of Ghanaian financial journalism, the boundaries of permissible disclosure, and the narrative techniques that allow principals to communicate commercial confidence without creating regulatory exposure.

How long does it take before a principal in Accra sees meaningful improvement through media training advisory?

Most principals in Accra experience measurable improvement in their media performance within the first two to three structured preparation sessions, particularly in areas such as message clarity, bridging technique, and composure under follow-up questioning. However, the deeper benefits of ongoing advisory, including the development of a consistent public voice, the ability to navigate unexpected lines of questioning with genuine confidence, and the accumulation of a track record of credible media performance, emerge over a longer engagement period. The advisory relationship is designed to compound in value over time, with each engagement building on the preparation and debrief work of previous ones.

Can media training advisory in Accra help principals who have already had a difficult media experience?

Yes, and this is one of the most common entry points for the advisory relationship. Principals who have experienced a difficult interview on Joy FM, a misquoted statement in the Daily Graphic, or a clipped social media moment that generated unintended attention often seek advisory support in the immediate aftermath. The advisory process in these situations begins with a structured analysis of what occurred and why, identifying the specific message, delivery, or preparation gaps that contributed to the outcome. From that foundation, the advisor works with the principal to rebuild their media confidence and develop the specific skills and disciplines needed to ensure the experience is not repeated.
