The Human Side of Project Leadership 001: What Improv Can Teach Project Managers | Blythe Meyers

The Human Side of Project Leadership is a conversation series leading up to Digital PM Summit 2026, where I sit down with this year's speakers to explore the ideas shaping modern project leadership. For the first episode, I reconnect with Blythe Meyers, Creative Program Manager at Tenarai and veteran improviser, to talk about why improv might be one of the most valuable skills a project manager can develop. Together we discuss: Why "Yes, and…" is a powerful leadership tool How active listening goes beyond taking notes Making your teammates look good Why mistakes are opportunities to learn What AI changes—and what it can't replace Finding humor and joy in project management Blythe's Digital PM Summit session is titled: No Script, No Problem: How Improv Makes Better Project Managers Register for the event here: https://thebureau.community/2026-digi...
