Jez Rose is widely recognised as a dynamic and thought-provoking Diversity and Inclusion speaker whose work bridges behavioural science, leadership and human connection. Beginning his professional speaking career in 2003, he quickly established himself as a trusted adviser to Fortune 100 organisations on leadership, culture and communication. Alongside this, he built a successful broadcasting career, presenting for major networks including the BBC, ITV, QVC and Discovery. His ability to translate complex human behaviours into practical insight has made him a compelling voice for organisations seeking meaningful cultural change.
Over the years, Jez Rose’s career has evolved into a unique blend of research, media and corporate transformation. He has delivered keynote speeches for globally recognised brands such as Ford, Audi, Marriott, Volkswagen and Philips, helping leaders understand the subtle behaviours that shape inclusive environments. In 2014, he began developing corporate behaviour change workshops, later expanding these into highly interactive programmes such as The Unfinished Conversation™, The Different Way™ and What We Stand For™. His work deepened further with the founding of The Good Life Project, a research initiative exploring the relationship between nature, wellbeing and human behaviour. Alongside his speaking, he has authored several books, including the number-one bestseller ‘Flip the Switch’, as well as ‘Have a Crap Day!’, and ‘Leading Change’, demonstrating a consistent focus on practical, evidence-based personal and organisational growth.
His influence also extends across media and thought leadership. Jez Rose’s TEDx talk ‘Find the Gap: We Are Killing Our Freedom’ was widely acclaimed, while his multiple podcasts, including Roots, Wings and Other Things and the Human Podcast, have reached over 20 million views online. His expertise has been recognised internationally, with rankings among the most sought-after business speakers in North America and features in Microsoft’s “Top 10 Most Sought-After Business Speakers” list. His broadcasting career has also seen him interview a diverse range of figures, from Jackie Chan and Steve Coogan to Mary Portas and Sir Ranulph Fiennes. For Pride Month, Jez presents two powerful keynote talks: “Pride in All of Us: Developing Pride in the Workplace” and “The Illusion of Authenticity: How to Avoid the Backfire of Being More You.” In these sessions, he unpacks the complexities of authenticity, highlights the potential pitfalls of misapplying it, and explores how organisations can create cultures where inclusion is genuinely lived and sustained.
What sets Jez Rose apart as a Diversity and Inclusion speaker is his ability to move beyond theory and into behaviour. His work focuses on the everyday assumptions, habits and unconscious biases that quietly shape workplace culture. Through frameworks such as RESET and his immersive Clay Series Workshops, he creates safe, engaging spaces where teams can challenge perspectives, build empathy and take meaningful action. His approach is grounded in research yet delivered with warmth and relatability, enabling organisations to have honest conversations that lead to lasting change. This combination of insight, experience and practical application makes him an exceptional choice for organisations committed to building inclusive, human-centred cultures.
