Testimonial
Mo is an exceptional speaker, mentor, and ambassador of Toastmasters. He truly embodies the values of the organisation—supporting both new and experienced members as they grow into more confident and capable speakers and leaders. His wisdom, humor, and positive energy uplift every Kent Speakers meeting.

When I first attended Kent Speakers, I was too nervous to even speak at the end of the meeting. But Mo shared a personal story about his 960-day running streak during a Table Topics session. That brief conversation inspired me to set a goal of running for 40 consecutive days, which I achieved. Mo’s encouragement sparked a community within our club—we began joining him for runs and even celebrated his 1000th run together. Since then, I’ve kept up a streak of over 120 days, and many others have continued running too.
Mo’s impact goes beyond public speaking. He leads by example, inspires action, and supports others with genuine care. Whether in a speech, a chat over coffee, or a post-run breakfast, Mo makes a difference—and I know he will continue to do so as a leader in Toastmasters.
