Meet Eric Williamson: Speaker, Author & Leadership Expert

More Than 20 Years of Helping People Work Better Together

Eric Williamson helps leaders and teams navigate the human side of work—especially when the pressure is high, the conversation is difficult, and working together feels harder than it should.

He’s helped professionals and organizations strengthen communication, navigate conflict, and build the trust and accountability needed to move forward.

His approach is practical, engaging, and grounded in a simple belief: People don't need more leadership theory. They need to know what to do when leadership gets hard.

Eric brings more than two decades of leadership and professional development experience across both the public and private sectors. His work has taken him into organizations and in front of audiences across technology, human resources, healthcare, higher education, government, and professional associations.

Along the way, Eric has become a trusted voice on workplace communication, leadership, conflict, and professional development. His expertise has been featured by NBC, ABC, FOX, CBS, and Training Industry, and his book, How to Work with Jerks, has given organizations a memorable way to start much bigger conversations about how people communicate, collaborate, and lead.
