About Jez Rose
(in his words)
“For more than twenty-three years I've been fascinated by one question:
Why do some people embrace change while others struggle with it?
That question has taken me around the world as a keynote speaker, into boardrooms advising global organisations, onto television with the BBC, ITV and Discovery, through six books, and, perhaps unexpectedly, to a pottery wheel.
Today my work brings together behavioural science, creativity and lived experience to help people and organisations navigate change with greater clarity, confidence and humanity.
Whether I'm speaking to a conference audience, writing, hosting conversations or working in porcelain, I'm interested in the same thing:
How do we create meaningful change that actually lasts?”
About Jez
(formal biography)
Jez Rose is a behaviour and culture expert, keynote speaker, bestselling author, and creative practitioner whose work explores how people navigate change.
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, AI, 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.

What inspired Jez Rose to create RESET?
2
RESET grew out of personal experience as much as professional research. After spending more than twenty years helping organisations navigate change, Jez experienced a profound period of change in his own life, stepping back from a successful international career, returning to England, selling almost everything he owned and beginning again as a ceramic artist. That experience reinforced a belief he had been exploring for years: meaningful change rarely begins with a plan. It begins with a pause. RESET is the philosophy that emerged from that journey.
