Morag Mathieson, Immediate Past International President of Toastmasters International, delivered a keynote that was nothing short of transformational. Her speech, “Releasing Hidden Leaders,” was a powerful exploration of how leadership isn’t just about stepping into the spotlight — it’s about empowering others to rise.
She emphasized that leadership is unique to each individual — there’s no single path to unlocking potential. Through engaging storytelling and deep insights, she encouraged attendees to recognize and nurture leadership in themselves and those around them.
Mathieson’s presence at the DTM Ceremony was a true honor, and her words resonated deeply with the audience. She spoke about the ripple effect of mentorship, the importance of servant leadership, and how small moments of encouragement can shape future leaders.
Her ability to connect, inspire, and challenge made this keynote one of the most impactful moments of the conference. Attendees left feeling motivated, seen, and ready to embrace their own leadership journeys.
