About

For more than 23 years, Jez has helped organisations around the world - including 93 of the Fortune 100 - better understand how people adapt, communicate, engage, and perform during periods of transformation and uncertainty.

Known for combining behavioural insight with warmth, storytelling, and practical thinking, Jez has become one of the world’s most sought-after keynote speakers on leadership, culture, mindset, and meaningful change.

His career began in television, presenting for the BBC, ITV, Discovery, and QVC, and appearing on programmes including BBC Breakfast and Saturday Kitchen. In 2015, his book Flip the Switch: Achieve Extraordinary Things with Simple Changes to How You Think became a number one bestseller, establishing him as a leading voice on behaviour change and human potential.

Alongside his organisational work, Jez has long explored how creativity, environment, and lived experience shape the way we think and work. In 2016, he transformed a decommissioned farm in Lincolnshire into the world’s first certified carbon neutral honey farm, helping rear and reintroduce native British honeybees.

In 2025, after years spent helping organisations and audiences navigate change, Jez made a significant change of his own. Returning to England after living in America, he began working with clay and founded FOUND - the world’s first carbon neutral ceramics studio, exploring slower craftsmanship, material storytelling, and the relationship between creativity, attention, and transformation.

Today, Jez divides his time between keynote speaking, strategic advisory work, writing, and creating limited edition ceramic collections, while continuing to explore one central question: How do humans change, and what helps that change truly last?

His writing has appeared in The Times, The Independent, and The Guardian, and he hosts several podcasts including pause & effect, and Roots, Wings & Other Things, named by The Guardian as one of the UK’s top gardening podcasts

Speech Topics

RESET: How to change when change won’t stop.

The problem isn't change itself.

While organisations invest heavily in strategy, technology, and innovation, the greatest challenge remains unchanged: people.

For more than 23 years, Jez Rose has helped organisations around the world - including 93 of the Fortune 100 - better understand how people adapt, engage, communicate, and perform through change.

In this thought-provoking and highly engaging keynote, Jez explores why change is rarely a process problem; it's a human one.

Drawing on behavioural science, real-world organisational experience, and his RESET framework, he challenges audiences to rethink how they respond to uncertainty, complexity, and transformation. Along the way, he shares practical tools for building adaptability, fostering ownership, and creating meaningful change that lasts.

Combining powerful storytelling, behavioural insight, humour, and unexpected lessons from his work beyond the corporate world, Jez delivers a keynote experience that leaves audiences with fresh perspective, practical ideas, and a renewed confidence in their ability to navigate change.

Audience takeaways:

• Understand why people naturally resist change and what helps it stick.

• Build greater adaptability in times of uncertainty and complexity.

• Rethink behaviours, assumptions, and patterns that no longer serve growth.

• Develop practical tools for leading change with greater clarity and confidence.

• Leave with a fresh perspective on what meaningful transformation really requires.
