A flexible format, tailored to your context
I travel anywhere in France and abroad.
Talks are available in French or English, depending on your needs.
Adaptable format: from 20 to 60 minutes of speaking time, followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
The duration and setup of the talk are adjusted to suit your needs, your audience, and the context of your event.
Each event is unique — a personalized proposal will be made upon request, based on the format, your expectations, and the location.
Why do I give talks?
I believe the present is a powerful place to act, even when the future feels uncertain. Life doesn’t always follow the plan, and I’ve learned to navigate uncertainty, and most of all, to grow through it.
That mindset, shaped by my own journey, is what I now share through my talks.
What I offer isn’t a method, it’s an experience. Everyone takes what speaks to them, in their own way, to feed their own reflection — and maybe, I hope, to leave with the desire to take action.
I also do these talks because I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned, and giving back what I’ve been lucky to receive.

Inspiring and impressive. Guillaume captivated our group of 80 people with his story. We left truly moved by his ability to always move forward, to try new things, and to open up new horizons.
His talk not only helps us put our own situations into perspective, but also gives us keys to define our own paths and find fulfillment in the present, every day.
Florian Garcia
Deputy Managing Director, Nutripure
Guillaume’s talk deeply moved me. Everything he spoke about resonated with me. Being an active participant in your own life is essential, taking charge of your path and embracing a form of positive resilience.
What I appreciated most was the clarity of his speech, and the precision that reflects Guillaume’s depth of thought. He delivers a message that is both clear and concise, with emotion, but a controlled emotion, which makes it all the more compelling. There’s no pathos, just sincerity.
He conveys a kind of natural strength, something he carries and shares. This kind of message is incredibly important. It brings strength and energy.

For ACOLYT’s 10th anniversary, we wanted to offer our teams a powerful testimony that could inspire them and resonate with the realities of their daily work. Guillaume rose to that challenge perfectly.
Through his journey, he shares an authentic perspective on how to face uncertainty, overcome obstacles, and keep moving forward despite adversity. His experience naturally echoed the operational realities we encounter every day: change, pressure, individual and collective commitment, challenges to overcome, and the need to push beyond our limits.
His keynote left a lasting impression on our employees. The many conversations that followed the conference confirmed the strength of his message and the impact it had on everyone in attendance.
An inspiring, deeply human, and meaningful keynote that will remain one of the highlights of our anniversary celebration. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Martin Bour
Managing Director, Acolyt
Guillaume speaks about simple ideas: we cannot change the past, we must stay grounded in the present, and we should continue pursuing our dreams. Yet the weight of his journey gives these messages a profound resonance that speaks to everyone. I also greatly appreciated his view of performance, which he sees more as a journey than a destination.
We have taken valuable lessons from his keynote that we can apply to our work. And in the discussions that followed with the Lockroy Group team members, I saw how deeply many of them had been moved. I am convinced that Guillaume’s message will also provide them with valuable insights for their own life journeys.
A heartfelt thank you, Guillaume, for this wonderful encounter!
Jean Baboin
President, Lockroy
Guillaume’s story deeply resonated with all of our employees. Some connected with aspects of their own personal journey, while others were impressed by his ability to bounce back and overcome limitations.
Beyond inspiration, everyone left with practical insights and valuable perspectives for approaching the challenges of everyday professional life in a different way. No one left this conference the same person they were when they arrived.
Listening to Guillaume, the unexpected becomes a source of great opportunities. Thank you, Guillaume.
Benjamin Hedde
International Director, SADE
I was truly impressed, and Guillaume’s words really resonated. He spoke about being an active participant in your own life, and that speaks to everyone, really. Then he talked about disobedience, because to disobey is to define your own limits, to dare to try. And finally, he spoke about our relationship with others, which is also so important, the value of support in our society.
To me, Guillaume is an example, but not a hero. He has his own personality, he’s made choices, and he has abilities. He’s inspiring, but I don’t see him as a hero. And I don’t think he sees himself that way either, judging by his talk.
Those words really spoke to me during Guillaume’s conference. So, thank you.
Michèle Sarloute
President, FAF LR
More than a conference: a true life lesson. Guillaume’s powerful story, his resilience, perseverance, and ability to experiment, innovate, and reinvent himself deeply inspired us and opened our minds before we worked together on our company culture.
With great humility regarding his own life journey, he drew a strong and meaningful parallel with the creation of a company that gradually establishes itself as a key player in its market.
A big thank-you, Guillaume, for this inspiring talk! We’re leaving motivated, with the desire to bring these values to life even more every day.

Co-founder & CEO, Epsor
A true lesson in humanity: facing the unexpected, rebuilding yourself, and moving forward. Guillaume Colin shows us that a person’s true value lies in their ability to learn, to rely on others, and to find meaning in their journey.

Diana Stahl
HR Director, SoftAtHome
We were delighted to bring together our clients and partners for our Christmas dinner, a warm and convivial evening centered around sharing, connection, and inspiration. It was a wonderful event highlighted by the keynote “The Potential of the Unexpected”, delivered by Guillaume Colin, a high-level athlete with a remarkable journey.
Guillaume shared his story, the challenges he has faced, and the lessons he has learned along the way. His message reminded us that the unexpected is not a source of stress or disruption to be avoided, but rather a valuable resource we can learn to work with and draw strength from. When the unexpected becomes a source of inspiration.
