The Psychology of Public Speaking | Dirish Mohan | TEDxNITTrichy

In this talk, Dirish Mohan explores the science behind the psychology of public speaking. He breaks down the psychology of stage fear, imposter syndrome, and the need for authentic human expression. Along with Maslow’s theory, real stories, and practical insights, he reveals how courage, self-awareness, and repetition can silence fear and restore confidence. This talk reminds us that while machines may process words, only humans can connect through emotion and story.
