In this episode of Get Hired, LinkedIn Editor Andrew Seaman speaks with Hollywood film producer Will Packer, whose movies have grossed more than $1 billion at the box office. They discuss key themes from Will’s new book ‘Who Better Than You? The Art of Healthy Arrogance and Dreaming Big,’ including the differences between confidence and arrogance and quitting and giving up. Will also explains how to create your own momentum by breaking big goals into small steps, and why giving and receiving praise fuels everyone’s success.


Key Points:

  • How to build confidence and overcome self-doubt
  • Why persistence is more important than talent
