Will Packer Biography
Will Packer Speaking Topics
Drawing from his journey of turning a micro-budget indie film into a billion-dollar Hollywood empire, Will Packer shares the game-changing principles of "healthy arrogance"—a mindset shift that separates top performers from the rest. He breaks down the art of selling yourself, your vision, and your product with the same unshakable belief that convinced Hollywood’s biggest stars and studios to bet on him. Through high-energy storytelling, real-world sales strategies, and unforgettable Hollywood lessons, Packer delivers a masterclass in resilience, persuasion, and high-stakes deal-making. Attendees will walk away with:
• Unshakable Confidence – Why top performers embody "healthy arrogance" and how to harness it to close deals and shatter quotas. • The Power of Persuasion – How to make your goals essential to others—whether it’s selling a movie, a product, or a vision. • Behind-the-Scenes Hustle – Why the work you put in when no one’s watching determines the success everyone sees later.
This isn’t just another motivational talk—it’s a sales masterclass from a leader who’s built a billion-dollar brand from the ground up. Will Packer will leave your team fired up, thinking bigger, selling bolder, and owning their success like never before.
Leaders are expected to be courageously visionary yet fiscally cautious. Boldly comfortable with a pioneering mindset yet be the ultimate team players. Packer addresses these challenges of leadership while addressing the rapidly evolving intersection of technology, art, and culture, especially as various industries grapple with the impact of recent labor events and debates surrounding artificial intelligence. To face the inevitable challenges to come, bold leaders must forge ahead fearlessly despite the uncertain and daunting future.
In the wake of George Floyd’s tragedy and the continuation of the Black Lives Matter movement, numerous corporations recognized their stark lack of diversity in leadership. Packer utilizes his trademark humor and broadly appealing candor to bring a perspective infused with cultural authenticity to corporate audiences. Many are still working to address the shortage of qualified black and minority executives. Besides emphasizing the economic benefits of diverse leadership, legendary TV and Film Producer Will Packer invokes the African Proverb, “The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” Cultivating a diverse executive team takes time and nurturing. If your organization hasn’t prioritized Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging, the next best step is to start today, whether through internships, entry-level programs, or diversity-focused mentorship. Don’t waste time perfecting a program; just take the first step with intention. The approach can and should be refined as you progress. Most importantly, don’t let another 20 years slip away.
As a film producer, Will Packer is bombarded with movie pitches everywhere, even in the most unexpected and sometimes humorous places. While some ideas are promising, most are not. A great idea is just the beginning; true success hinges on execution. Just like having the perfect pair of shoes at the marathon’s starting line – you still have a long way to go despite your possession of the right gear. Winners and losers are determined not by preparation, but by the actual implementation. Having all the necessary equipment for climbing a mountain means nothing until you’re actually hanging off the side, grappling with fatigue and uncertainty. Action will always speak louder than preparation.
In a storm, experts advise against stopping by the roadside. No matter how challenging the conditions, it’s crucial to keep moving, even if slowly. Stagnation only prolongs your exposure to the storm. While you can’t control the weather, you can control your own movement. The same principle applies in life, business, and relationships. You can’t ride a bike without pedaling; constant progression is the key to overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges. Just as a duck moves serenely through the water, it is the chaotic paddling beneath the surface that keeps it afloat and in motion.
