Strong Leadership Builds Better Studios.

We’re on a mission to support Leadership at all levels for the betterment and future sustainability of the Games Industry.

“I’ve built what I needed back when I was Head of Studio. Now, I make sure that other Leaders in Games have access to the support, training, and community I was searching for back then.”

Games Leadership® offers coaching, training, and support that’s built specifically for the Games Industry.

No corporate waffle. No trust falls.

Just real tools, honest conversations, and a community of those who get it.

Melissa Phillips founded Games Leadership® after years of working in the Games Industry, leading teams and supporting Studios through many complex challenges. With a background in Psychology, she saw a gap in how Leaders were supported – and set out to create something different.

The work we do is designed for the realities of the Games Industry, built around the idea that Leadership isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Every studio is different, and each Leader carries a unique blend of experience, insight, and responsibility that shapes how Games are made. Our work is done with precisely this in mind!

Across our site, you’ll find two core strands of support at the heart of Games Leadership®:

The Games Leadership Academy® - Home to our personal development and CPD-accredited training programmes, including our flagship Games Leadership® Blueprint course.

The Games Leadership Network® - Our not-for-profit community (CIC) offering free talks, peer support, and course scholarships, designed to make Leadership development more inclusive and accessible across the Industry.
