[28:34] In this episode we speak with Mohamed Ali Shukri from Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain. He is Toastmasters International's newest Accredited Speaker, and the first to earn the designation virtually. This past August at the 2020 Toastmasters International virtual convention, Shukri was awarded the prestigious Accredited Speaker (AS) designation, as only the 88th recipient.

Shukri shares a little about his journey and final presentation, A Safe Shortcut to Safety Culture, which helped him solidify the judges' approval. We encourage you to watch his award-winning presentation. The delivery of his 3-part model designed to make individuals rethink safety is a prime example of presentation excellence. It's also full of valuable information for leaders wanting to help their teams learn to self-motivate.

Shukri is profiled in the January 2021 issue of the Toastmaster.

Shukri expects have a new website up and running later this month at http://mohamedalishukri.com. In the meantime, visit his Accredited Speaker profile to reach him or learn more about him.
