Hi, I’m ARIKA PIERCE WILLIAMS

I am a keynote leadership speaker and accomplished author. With over 15 years of corporate leadership experience as a former senior executive and now CEO of Piercing Strategies, I specialize in advising and consulting startups through FORTUNE 100 companies on their leadership development strategies.

My approach is distinctive and innovative, focusing on transforming mindsets, beliefs, and behaviors essential for leaders to excel in their professional journeys. I am the author of two influential books: "The Millennial’s Playbook to Adulting" and "I Can. I Will. Watch Me: How to Not Be Overlooked, Underpaid or Undervalued."

As a sought-after speaker, I have the privilege of gracing stages (and computer screens) worldwide, sharing tactical leadership strategies that push audiences past their comfort zones into the growth zone. What sets my keynotes apart is my ability to interweave content with humor and authenticity, leaving audiences both entertained and equipped with practical and actionable leadership tools to take charge of their careers.

My portfolio of keynotes, workshops, and books is applicable to leaders at all levels, supporting them in their personal and professional growth journeys.
