About Ali
I started my career as a journalist, interviewing ministers, executives and community leaders and learning how to ask the right questions. At 30, I made a big career change and moved into strategic communications. I know what it feels like to start again, prove yourself and learn the unwritten rules of a new workplace.
Since then, I've spent more than 12 years at a multinational strategic communications agency. Today I'm a director, advising governments and senior executives across the Gulf and Australia. My work covers media relations, thought leadership, reputation management and stakeholder engagement, in both English and Arabic.
I studied at Monash University, hold professional certifications in stakeholder engagement (IAP2) and communication measurement (AMEC), and serve on the board of IABC NSW Hunter and Coastal.
I teach because I wish someone had shown me these skills earlier. My lessons give you what took me years to learn, so you can use it from your very first job.

What you'll learn here isn't from a textbook. It's what I've learned from 12+ years at a multinational strategic communications agency and from hundreds of interviews with executives and senior government officials. I've watched how the most effective people speak, write, build trust and protect their reputation. I've turned that into a practical framework for students, graduates and early-career professionals.
Every lesson is 60 minutes, online or in person (Newcastle/ Sydney), and built around your real situation. You can take a single session or follow the full roadmap.
1. Career Map (start here)
We work out where you are, where you want to be in 90 days, and the communication gaps holding you back.
2. Present Yourself in Interviews
Tell your story, explain your skills and achievements clearly, and stay calm under tough questions. Includes a mock interview with feedback.
3. Your Personal Brand
Rebuild your LinkedIn profile, write a headline people remember, and master a 30-second introduction for networking.
4. Writing That Gets Answered
Emails, messages and cover letters that are clear, short and professional, using your own drafts.
5. Speaking Up at Work
Contribute in meetings, present with confidence, and get noticed without sounding arrogant.
6. Office Politics 101
Read the room, understand who really holds influence, avoid gossip traps and protect your reputation.
7. Difficult Conversations
Ask for feedback, push back on a manager, admit a mistake and say no, without burning bridges.
After every lesson, you get practical templates, feedback on your real CV, LinkedIn or emails, and one clear action to take before we meet again.
