Emma Supica (she/her) makes learning feel like the best kind of fun: the kind where you're laughing, a little surprised, and walking away with something that actually changes how you see your work. A Nashville-based educator, improviser, and speaker, Emma believes joy is not a reward for hard work, it's how hard work becomes sustainable. She founded Unscripted, a nonprofit using improv to heal, connect, and empower, and has brought that same warm, playful, research-backed approach to organizations like Amazon, the U.S. Army, and Amgen. Her research with Vanderbilt University, published in the Journal of the Learning Sciences, explores how groups learn through attunement and play. In her sessions, which tend to involve laughter, a little bit of risk, and at least one genuine aha moment, participants don't just learn about resilience. They feel what it's like to be in a room where it's actually safe to try something and fail.
