Rasheed Hasan

L&D Practitioner | Communication & Leadership Development | Riyadh, KSA

I help GCC organizations turn newly hired managers into confident leaders — through targeted training that sticks on the job, not just in the room.


About
I'm a freelance Learning & Development Practitioner based in Riyadh, specializing in leadership development, communication skills, and learning needs analysis for corporate teams across the GCC.
My background is in designing and delivering learning — 10+ years building curriculum, facilitating workshops, and developing people at every level. I hold a CIPD Level 5 in Organisational Learning & Development and work closely with organisations aligned to Saudi Vision 2030's people development agenda.Whether you need a full learning needs analysis before you design anything, or a ready-to-deliver workshop for your management team, I'll give you practical, evidence-based solutions — not off-the-shelf content dressed up as custom.

Services

1. Learning Needs Analysis (LNA)Most training fails because it was designed before the real problem was understood. I run structured LNAs — interviews, surveys, observation, and data review — that tell you exactly what your people need before you spend a riyal on delivery.Best for: organisations onboarding new managers, scaling a team, or preparing for a development programme.

2. Leadership & Management DevelopmentPractical, facilitated programmes for new and mid-level managers. Covering the skills they actually need: giving feedback, running a team, managing performance, and communicating with authority.Available as one-day workshops, multi-session programmes, or blended learning journeys.

3.Communication & Soft Skills TrainingFrom presenting to senior stakeholders to handling difficult conversations — I design and deliver communication programmes that change how your people show up at work. Built around your context, not generic slides.Delivered in English or Arabic.

4.Instructional Design & Curriculum BuildYou have the subject matter expertise. I'll turn it into a structured, engaging learning experience — whether that's a facilitator guide, a blended programme, or an e-learning module. Built on proven frameworks: ADDIE, Bloom's Taxonomy, 70:20:10.
