"Last year Toni kindly agreed to help us raise awareness of social mobility at Direct Line Group. We had a huge turn-out in the several hundreds and it was a really exciting event. It was our first ever company-wide awareness week, and Toni was our headline speaker. She was thoroughly engaging, entertaining, and Toni shared her personal story of social mobility, which is not only inspiring, but also full of very real issues that many people from working class backgrounds face within the professional corporate world. Toni brought to life the very difficult topic of social mobility and class, and many of our colleagues commented afterwords how much they enjoyed Toni’s talk. We would highly recommend booking Toni to speak about her experiences to help start the conversation within your organisation. Keep up the great work Toni! It really makes a difference, thank you."

"I had the joy of facilitating two of Toni’s ‘It’s Too Risky’ workshops yesterday, which she kindly delivered for employees at ForHousing. I have to say if you are looking for someone who can deliver a practical and though provoking message that engages all participants, I would highly recommend Toni! Within seconds of the first workshop I had requests for people to join the afternoon session based on their colleagues “raving” about how good it was.
Toni’s honest approach resonated with the everyday person and shows you don’t have to be a professional athlete or celebrity to approach and achieve the change you want in your life. I cannot thank you enough Toni, I took so much away from this as did my colleagues!"

"In these difficult times, Toni is a speaker who manages to life the audience and change our perspectives. Colleagues at big corporates are always hard to engage and then impress; when you add the challenge of doing everything virtually it’s an exceptionally hard task. Toni exceeded my expectations in every way. Engaging and authentic, with humour - she suggested ways the team could thing about things differently. A someone who has been around the block a bit and heard all sorts of different speakers in my time - this actually challenged some of my thinking and made me reassess a few areas of my work assumptions. A word that springs to mind is accessible - some idea to help unstick thinking in a very enjoyable and approachable way."

#SocialMobility Authentic storytelling at it’s finest… Toni Kent (our phenomenal keynote last night), please take a bow. You took us on your very own personal and powerful journey. #ThankYou A hard topic to approach yet one Toni is absolutely made to deliver - thought provoking, insightful, serious in all the right places with the perfect amount of humour (you certainly made us laugh!!!) yet also hugely inspiring. Your ‘background’, the opportunities that come your way, the class/social system that you are born into, your role models, the education access available, friendship groups, stigma… it all matters, it all can have an impact…
