HAMMAD SIDDIQUI

I redefine business strategy and branding for startup founders and corporate professionals. Over the years, LinkedIn, branding and business strategy has become my forte. At the age of 55, I quit my job after 36 years of corporate career, working in 12 countries. In 2020 I started my transformational journey as a coach and digital creator.

Currently working on three exciting projects: Canada Startup Association where I am helping Canadian Startups grow globally, my Solopreneurship Coaching and Consulting where I am helping my clients in brand building and starting their Solopreneurship careers and my LinkedIn Management Agency. 

Startups, business strategy and eLearning are three topics close to my heart. For over 36 years, I have helped countless clients in achieving excellence in growth and personal branding. 

Canada Startup Association: A membership not for profit organization that helps Canadian Startups in growth and going international. 

My eLearning projects are targeted towards creating online learning programs, personalized coaching and corporate mentoring. 

I am a strong believer in building powerful personal brands. For corporate professionals as well as for Startups, personal branding is an essential element that can ensure professional growth. 

The truth is that in today’s world LinkedIn is the most powerful personal branding tool. 

I grew my business on LinkedIn. 

Making things complicated for clients is the way to make more money, but I believe in simplicity. 

Keeping things simple works for me. 

I do the same with my clients, I have SIMPLIFIED the use of LinkedIn for Job Search, personal branding and building online business. 

Over the years, I have helped hundreds of Senior Executives in LinkedIn optimization and technical support, most of them work for global corporations. 

LinkedIn is growing leaps and bounds and rolling out new features backed by the power of Generative AI. The opportunity is in your hands to make the best use of SIMPLE Techniques. 

I want you to become in-charge of your professional branding.  

Let’s talk, I will keep it simple! 

In 1990, I started my career at British Foreign Office. Served as Head of Trade with British FCO in Pakistan and next as Regional Director at the Center for International Private Enterprise (an affiliate of US Chamber of Commerce). 

I love Canada, now my home!

I have authored three books which will help you immensely in understanding the tips and trick of using LinkedIn easily and effectively.

Founder and Executive Director 

As the Founder Executive Director, I am on a mission to help new startups coming to Canada so that they start progressing quickly in the ecosystem.

I see so much rubbish posts created by ChatGPT. 

But its not ChatGPT's fault, its your prompt that generates rubbish. 

Prompts with no brain behind them = Generate crap.

Simple: Bad input = bad output.

5 worst prompting styles I see every day:

1.  “Make it viral.”  
Virality is not a button.

2.  “Write like [famous creator].”  
Lack of training results in bad content. 

3.  One-line prompts.  
“Write a LinkedIn post on leadership.”
Too confusing!

4.  No opinion, no tension.  
If there’s nothing to challenge, there’s nothing to read.

5.  Zero editing.  
You copy-paste and hit post.
You skipped the thinking part.

AI only is best in amplifying thinking.

Sharp brain → sharp output.
Lazy input → loud nonsense.

If you want better content, start with better thinking.

Executive Director & Startup Advisor | My Redefine Future Program Focuses at Business Strategy and Social Branding on LinkedIn | Author | Content is my Love

Two LinkedIn opportunities never ignore in 2026.

1. Low competition
(9 billion weekly impressions, only 1% of users post content weekly )

2. Amazing Algorithm
(High-quality content travels further and lasts longer)

When 1% understand LinkedIn, 99% would only struggle. 
That's what I always tell my students. 

Be the 1% - I teach that in 4 weeks LinkedIn Launchpad Program. 

I am giving a 25-Game Plan: 

A. Identify 25 people in your niche who write regularly (follow / connect).

B. 25 comments every day on whoever posts from that group. 

C. Write 25 posts in a month, only your target content. 

- One idea.
- Short lines.
- Build curiosity. 

Respond to every comment (trigger conversation).
Engagement compounds reach.
LinkedIn is still underpriced.

Treat it as your growth engine.

You may be only one post away from your next opportunity!

Its not funny! (People get scared of writing on LinkedIn)

Self doubts
What to write about
Why someone would read

Read my latest newsletter where I have described how you can improve your content writing to attract people to your profile. 

After all, LinkedIn is a content distribution platform.
And its content hungry too! 

REPOST

First Reaction: People don’t act on LinkedIn because they understand your post. They act because they feel something while scrolling on to their feed.

I was invited at York University to teach LinkedIn. 

Thanks to Rahim Katchi, MBA for inviting me. 

I have been training on LinkedIn for over 10 years now. 

Still hear same question:

a. We do not know what to post. 
b. Why someone would read my post.
c. What my current employer will think about me.

This group asked the same (and few more questions). 

Twinkle Patel wrote: Today we had a guest lecture by Hammad, a LinkedIn coach, and it was really insightful.

He explained that everyone talks about experience, but hardly anyone talks about skills and knowledge, even though these two are the base of real growth.

He also shared how to find hidden jobs on LinkedIn jobs that are not posted but can be accessed through the right profile, engagement, and conversations.

Another important point he mentioned was that we need to post daily on LinkedIn, not just for likes, but to stay visible and build engagement over time.

Overall, it was a very practical session and gave a clear idea of how LinkedIn can be used properly for career growth. 

Tanzil Merchant , CAMS's profile was the most visible one in the whole group. He won a 30 minutes exclusive session with me.
