Justin Kabbani

I help ambitious leaders, teams and organisations unlock clarity, creativity and performance using AI.

As Founder and AI Strategy Partner, I design and deliver practical, high-impact programs that transform how people work, fast.

My focus is helping clients move from AI confusion or curiosity to confident capability. Whether through keynote speaking, executive alignment, hands-on training or company-wide rollouts, everything I do is built around one thing: results.

Over the past two years, I’ve trained 3,500+ professionals, supported 120+ businesses, and helped generate over $10M in measurable outcomes, without fluff, jargon or overwhelm.

If you’re serious about leading with AI and want to equip your people with the tools and mindset to perform at the next level, I’d love to connect.

The Right-brain Workout

I joined two legends of the creative game - Russel Howcroft (Gruen, 3AW, AFTRS, Sayers) and Alex Wadelton (Guinness World Record Holder) - to change the way people think about thinking and help people, teams and organisations become better problem solvers through creativity. 

Nothing gives me greater professional satisfaction than people realising their creative potential - especially when using the thinking tools, techniques and technologies that we've created to get them there.

Hardhat

I co-founded Hardhat with childhood buddy Dan Monheit at the 'dawn of digital' in 2005. Today, it has become one of Australia's most-loved creative agencies with a 40-strong team of thinkers and makers led by respected communications experts in the fields of behavioural economics, strategy, creativity, UX and craft. 

Hardhat helps brands capitalise on the how, when, where, what and why of human behaviour to get people to tick, click, swipe, buy and believe. The agency has evolved with the times, trends and technologies to deliver stories, experiences, ads and interfaces that champion 'brand' and 'user' in equal measure. Hardhat knows that while a 30-second ad might get people believing in a brand, a three-second wait on its website can get them leaving.

I was Hardhat’s founding Creative Guy (that’s a Creative Director without anyone to direct). I deployed my vast and varied creative skills across strategic thinking, design, branding, photography, video, editing, animation, product development, programming, and pool cleaning to do everything and anything a client would throw our way.  

As the agency grew, I grew into the Managing Director role, where I deployed my Creative Guy hat to create a legendary culture where creativity could thrive and individuals were supportively challenged to discover their own creative potential. Among staff and alumni, Hardhat is fondly held as one of the greatest places to work. The enduring values of Hustle - doing what it takes to get the job done right, Humility - being inspired by the unknown, and Heart - having an undeniable passion, have rippled across the globe as Hardhatters themselves grew their wings and carried our culture with them.

Managing Your Message

As a former TV News journalist turned Presentation Skills expert, I help Corporate Executives become more engaging, influential, and confident communicators and presenters.

Can you relate to any of these?
•	Experiencing inconsistent results when you present.
•	Tossing and turning the night before a high-stakes presentation.
•	Avoiding presentations at all costs.
•	Nerves causing you to lose your train of thought.
•	Resenting that less qualified colleagues get promotions simply because they’re good presenters.
•	Not knowing what to do with your hands, stance, voice, how to get rid of the ums, & ahs.
•	Lacking a proven method for crafting messages that resonate with your audience.

Wouldn’t you love to know what to avoid that detracts from your presentation and disengages your audience? And also what works—techniques to connect, engage, and build rapport with your audience, giving you certainty that your message will land every time?

What about body language, your voice and handling nerves? My courses provide a clear picture of what to avoid and what to employ. I’ve helped hundreds of executives elevate their presentation skills through my Deakin University-accredited workshops.

I'll soon be introducing a new online, on-demand training program, High Performance Presenting, based on these workshops. It's a proven, step-by-step process to ensure you give engaging, persuasive presentations - all based in the latest relevant research in Neuroscience.

Many Australians know me from my journalism career at Seven News and as anchor of Today Tonight, a prime-time news program that became No. 1 in its time slot, winning a Logie award.

Since 2007, as Director of Managing Your Message, I’ve offered tailored Presentation Skills courses to help executives become more confident & impactful presenters.

My wonderful clients have included ANZ Private, NAB, JBWere, Visy, Myer, PWC, BIC, REA Group, Tanarra & CVA Property Consultants.

I'm here to help so please contact me for more.
