Michael Blackard

Hi, I'm Michael! I am a Video Game Producer and now Friendship Coach! I have been in the games industry for about 15 years. I worked at all sorts of studios, big and small, including Blizzard Entertainment, Cloud Imperium Games, Certain Affinity, Volition, Airship Syndicate, and Firaxis Games. I have been credited on numerous games and uncredited on a few others.Why am I telling you about my video game background? Because making video games requires a highly collaborative team of people to be successful yet these same teams struggle to connect fully with one another - And I get hired because my specialty is bringing people together!I have helped scores of people see their strengths, learn new ways to solve old problems, and add new tools to their toolkits. I typically do this by sitting down with people and laying out the issues they see. Together, we strategize ways to soar to new heights. I want to help people do the same things but in everyday settings. I wanna help people build the communities they need to thrive!
