TechMasters has always been about helping people find their voice, develop their skills, and have the confidence to share their ideas. This month, TechMasters alumnus and former club president Glenn Leifheit took those skills to one of the most recognized speaking stages in the world: TEDx.

Glenn recently spoke at TEDx Parrish Street 2026, sharing his message about mental resilience and the power of “mind workouts.” Drawing on his experiences in technology, leadership, mentoring, and personal growth, Glenn challenged his audience to think about how we can intentionally exercise our minds to become more resilient.

For those of us who knew Glenn during his years with TechMasters, seeing him on the TEDx stage is particularly exciting. Glenn served as President of TechMasters and has remained an advocate for communication, mentorship, and personal growth throughout his career. He may also be one of the first TechMasters alumni to take the TEDx stage — an accomplishment worth celebrating!

Toastmasters is about much more than learning how to give a speech. It's about finding your voice and gaining the confidence to use it. Glenn's journey is a great example of where that can lead.

Congratulations, Glenn, from your friends at TechMasters. TechMasters for the win!
