Speaking & Workshops

Thinking differently. Living well. Making things happen.

Who decided what a successful life is supposed to look like anyway?

We’re surrounded by advice on who to be, what to do and how to live. But just because something works for somebody else doesn’t mean it’s right for you.

I’ve never been one for following the conventional path. I believe in questioning the rules, challenging assumptions, experimenting with life and having the confidence to change direction.

Because there’s no one-size-fits-all formula for living well.

Sometimes all it takes is a different perspective.

And the courage to do something about it.

What to Expect

No preaching. No perfect-life formulas. And definitely no pretending I’ve got it all figured out.

Expect honest conversations, unconventional perspectives, a healthy dose of humour and the occasional uncomfortable truth.

I like to challenge the way people think, encourage them to question what they’ve always accepted and discover what works for them.

My aim is simple: to leave people thinking differently, feeling more confident and ready to do something about it.

We were delighted to welcome Camilla Collins to Molton Brown for an inspiring talk on self-confidence for women. Camilla delivered an engaging, thought-provoking, and empowering session that truly resonated with our guests.

Her warmth, authenticity, and practical approach created a safe space for open discussion, and her insights into mindset, self-worth, and personal empowerment left everyone feeling motivated and uplifted.

Many of our attendees commented on how Camilla’s words encouraged them to reflect on their own confidence and to take small but meaningful steps towards greater self-belief in both their personal and professional lives.

Camilla’s ability to connect with people from all walks of life makes her a truly impactful speaker.

We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any organisation looking to inspire and empower their teams or for an unusual event for their clients.

Talks & Workshops

Follow the Fun

Rethinking success, ambition and the art of enjoying the journey.

What’s the point of achieving success if you’re not enjoying the process?

We’re so focused on targets, deadlines and the next big milestone that it’s easy to lose sight of what makes the work worthwhile in the first place. And when achievement becomes the only measure of success then motivation, creativity and enthusiasm can suffer.

Follow the Fun challenges the way we think about ambition and achievement, exploring how we can pursue meaningful goals while finding greater enjoyment, purpose and satisfaction along the way.

What audiences take away: Encouraging more sustainable motivation, renewed enthusiasm, greater ownership of personal goals and a healthier relationship with achievement.

Be Yourself.

Everyone Else Is Already Taken.

Self-acceptance, confidence and making your own way.

How much energy do we waste trying to be the person we think we’re supposed to be?

Whether it’s comparing ourselves to colleagues, feeling the pressure to fit in, or questioning whether we’re good enough, our relationship with ourselves affects how we show up everywhere, including at work.

This talk explores self-awareness, self-acceptance and the confidence to recognise our strengths, challenge our limitations and make choices that reflect who we are, rather than who we think we should be.

What audiences take away: Building individual confidence, encouraging people to contribute their ideas, supporting personal development and creating space for different perspectives and ways of working.

The Art of Changing Your Mind

Questioning assumptions, embracing change and giving yourself permission to evolve.

Since when did changing your mind become a bad thing?

We’re taught to commit, persevere and see things through. But in a world that’s constantly changing, knowing when to question an assumption, reconsider a decision, or try a different approach can be just as valuable as persistence.

This thought-provoking talk explores how our beliefs, habits and identities can limit our choices, and why curiosity, experimentation and the willingness to change direction are essential to personal and professional growth.

What audiences take away: Encouraging adaptability, creative problem-solving, openness to new ideas and the confidence to challenge established ways of working.

Who Am I?

I’m an entrepreneur, author, speaker, former competitive bodybuilder and someone who’s never been particularly good at sticking to the conventional path.

I’ve overcome addiction, built a successful hair and makeup business, competed in bodybuilding, written a book and reinvented myself more times than I care to count.

Along the way, I’ve learned a great deal about ambition, discipline, resilience, confidence and what it means to be human. Not least that the things we think will make us happy aren’t always the things that do.

I’m naturally curious, a little rebellious and fascinated by people. After more than 16 years working in hair and makeup, I’ve had thousands of conversations with people from all walks of life, giving me a rather unusual perspective on confidence, appearances and the stories we tell ourselves.

I don’t claim to have all the answers. But I’ve got plenty of questions, a few good stories and a knack for getting people to look at things differently.

What Organisers Say

Camilla has spoken at several RSVP events over the years and each time Camilla brings something fresh, rejuvenating, and challenging to our members; the perfect mix. Camilla is exceptionally dedicated to her speaking events, making an extraordinary effort to go above and beyond to understand her clientele and create the best possible experience for your audience speaking with grace and gravitas.

Camilla was a guest speaker at our April Successo event where she discussed the topic of burnout and how to avoid it. The event sold out which was promising as we aim to put on content people can relate to. She was a phenomenal speaker and we had SO much positive feedback after the event with lots of people directly reaching out saying how incredible she was. If you’re looking for someone to speak at your event who can talk well on topics that aren’t commonly spoken about then I couldn’t recommend her more. Thank you Camilla!!

Camilla’s passion for promoting inclusion in the workplace was evident from the moment she took the stage. Her IWD talk was not only informative but also incredibly motivating. She shared personal stories and experiences that resonated with the audience, and her emphasis on the importance of creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all employees was inspiring. Camilla’s delivery was engaging and thought-provoking, and she left us all with practical tips and strategies for fostering a more inclusive work culture. I left the talk feeling empowered and motivated.

What Attendees Say

I was looking forward to hearing Camilla speak yesterday, and she didn't disappoint. A busy work period meant very little ' me time' so it was great to hear Camilla remind us that if we are not thriving, our careers can't either. I took away how important it is to have flexible thinking and that long-term thinking is so important with your life and work. Camilla was articulate, funny, personable, and shared a wealth of knowledge and experience. I have lots of things to think about to put into action! Thank you.

It's my 3rd time having the honour and pleasure of listening to Camilla speak and gently coach. Her enthusiasm in teaching us to have courage to question limiting beliefs and to prioritise self-care is addictive and gets you fired up to do the work towards self care. Thank you Camilla, for sharing so effortlessly, and for your continued grace and warmth.

Camilla was so down to earth, and real that it was easy to listen to what she was saying and apply it to my own life, it didn’t feel a million miles away and so therefore felt achievable for me. It really got me thinking and inspired about making changes in my life and work. I’m committed to pouring into myself after this talk and I can’t wait to see the impact it has on bettering my career. Thanks so much Camilla.

I attended a workshop hosted by Camilla which invited attendees to look deep into their ways of working. She expertly guided us through each of the areas of exploration, providing considered prompts and thoughtfully responding to attendees' questions. I came out of the session feeling reflective and confident, and with a clear plan in place to both move my career forward and protect my energies for the next few months. Thank you so much Camilla for your guidance and expertise.
