Eric Williamson, author of How To Work With Jerks, professional development consultant, and President/CEO of Tailored Training Solutions, LLC, has a vision of success that is inherently different than most. With two decades of real-life, hands-on in-the-trenches experience in both public and private sectors, Eric has worked with companies

and institutions, both large and small, including Connecticut College, Maryland School of Nursing, Maryland Department of Labor, and the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM). Through his experience, Eric has learned that success is not about good grades, high IQ scores, or climbing up the corporate ladder. Eric believes that no matter how talented, gifted or experienced, and no matter what role we serve or title we carry, our level of success is not measured based on the work we produce; it is measured based on the relationships we build. To that end, he works with organizations to build successful leaders by building stronger customer and workplace relationships.
