- **Event Description**: Engaging, thought provoking lectures by experts, professors and storytellers in Ottawa barsAbout this Event📚Lecture: "Your Brain on Improv: What Theatre Really Does to Your Mind"🎤Speaker: Megan Walter (Learning & Development Specialist)This playful, brainy lecture explores the surprisingly rich world of improv theatre and what it does to your brain. From ancient Roman farce and Commedia dell'arte to The Second City and the pop-culture moments that made improvisation a household name, we'll explore how humans learned to make things up together.Along the way, we'll look at what it means to get “on the same wavelength.” Drawing on research into storytelling, neural coupling, empathy, active listening, stress and uncertainty tolerance, we'll explore how making things up on the spot can help us feel more connected, more flexible and maybe a little less terrified of not knowing what comes next.No performance experience required, just a willingness to embrace the unexpected.Megan Walter (@leadwithyourstory) is a Learning & Development Specialist and Career Confidence Coach who helps professionals communicate their experience with clarity and confidence. A former theatre kid, she brings storytelling and stage presence into every room, creating engaging, practical learning experiences. She is a certified EQ-i 2.0 and EQ 360 emotional intelligence facilitator and a member of the Ontario College of Teachers.

She firmly believes that ambition and authenticity can coexist and that you never have to shrink yourself to fit in.🍻Get a drink, connect and learn at Tipsy ScholarsAgenda6:00pm - Doors open: Grab a seat, order drinks and food and settle in.6:55pm - Host Introduction7:00pm - Lecture starts7:45pm - Q&A with Audience8:00pm onwards - Socialize, make friends, grab more drinks
