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 keynote speaker, strategic advisor and number one bestselling author whose work explores how people change.
For more than 23 years, he has worked with organisations around the world, including 93 of the Fortune 100, helping leaders and teams understand behaviour, culture and the human side of organisational change. His work combines behavioural insight, storytelling and practical experience to challenge assumptions and make complex ideas accessible.
His book Flip the Switch became a number one bestseller in 2015, and his career has included television work with the BBC, ITV, Discovery and QVC, alongside live events and international keynote speaking.
In 2025, Jez returned to England after living in the United States and began a new chapter working with clay. He co-founded FOUND, an independent ceramics studio exploring craftsmanship, sustainable materials and the value of making things that last.
The work may look different, but the curiosity is much the same: what makes us change, what we hold on to, and how we recognise when it is time to do something differently.

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.
