Speaker | Educator | Executive Coach | Enterprise PMO Leader

Leadership Where It Actually Breaks
Dr. Doug Williamson has spent his career inside the moments where projects stall, leaders clash, and execution quietly slips—not because of tools or strategy, but because of communication, conflict, and unclear expectations.
Doug brings clarity to those moments. His work replaces buzzwords with practical frameworks leaders can apply immediately to restore trust, alignment, and forward momentum.
Teaching What Leaders Really Face
Dr. Doug Williamson teaches Business Communication, Negotiation, and Conflict Resolution with a focus on real decisions, real pressure, and real consequences. His work bridges executive leadership and higher education, ensuring theory never drifts far from practice.
Doug is also the author of open educational resource (OER) textbooks and curriculum, integrating AI tools to help students and leaders alike think, write, and decide more clearly in an AI-assisted world. The book is being reformatted for purchase on Amazon and other book sellers. He is in the process of writing a progressive book on conflict resolution and negotiations that employ real-world examples and solutions, turning theory into practical application.
Anytime we can emphasize using best practice theory and turn it into practical application is also something that I heavily emphasize in my lectures.
