Jez Rose is an internationally renowned keynote speaker, number-one bestselling author, and ceramic artist, known for delivering powerful, thought-provoking talks that challenge how we think about identity, belonging, and performance at work. As a proudly gay speaker, Jez brings both lived experience and over two decades of coaching expertise to Pride Month events, helping organisations move beyond performative inclusion to create cultures where people feel genuinely safe to be seen, heard, and valued. He has delivered keynote speeches for some of the world’s most recognised brands, including Panasonic, Oracle, Xerox, and Quilter, and has been recognised by Microsoft as one of the “Top 10 Most Sought-After Business Speakers.” Jez is known for his ability to connect deeply with diverse audiences, leaving them energised, challenged, and equipped with practical strategies for meaningful change.
A former television presenter for BBC, ITV, QVC, and Discovery, Jez brings over 21 years of experience hosting high-profile events, making him a trusted choice for organisations looking to maximise engagement during Pride and beyond. He has interviewed a wide range of influential figures from Jackie Chan to Auschwitz survivors, bringing depth, empathy, and curiosity to every conversation he leads. As the founder of the global RESET movement, Jez specialises in behavioural change, helping organisations rethink how people show up, communicate, and lead. His work with 93 of the Fortune 100 companies has supported the development of inclusive, high-performing cultures, while his bestselling books and TEDx talk, ‘Give a Little, Keep a Lot’, continue to inspire individuals to question assumptions and unlock new ways of thinking.
For Pride Month, Jez delivers two impactful keynote presentations: “Pride in All of Us: Developing Pride in the Workplace” and “The Illusion of Authenticity: How to Avoid the Backfire of Being More You.” These sessions explore the realities behind authenticity, the risks of getting it wrong, and how organisations can foster environments where inclusion is truly embedded. His approach is honest, engaging, and refreshingly human, bridging the gap between intention and action. These keynotes are particularly valuable for organisations committed to building inclusive cultures, including corporate teams, public sector bodies, and educational institutions. They resonate with leaders, HR professionals, and employees alike, offering practical insights that help translate good intentions into meaningful, sustainable change.
