Jez Rose is an award-winning author, broadcaster, and motivational speaker who is a passionate advocate for the powerful connection between nature and human wellbeing, health, and behaviour. As the founder of The Good Life Project, a research initiative focused on demonstrating how nature influences emotions and overall wellness, he has built a reputation as a dynamic and sought-after speaker. His TEDx speeches in the UK and USA, along with his global keynote addresses, make him a leading figure in the fields of sustainability and personal development.
Jez’s career journey has been deeply influenced by his love for nature. In 2017, he moved to a decommissioned farm, dedicating himself to restoring it into what is now the world’s first Carbon Neutral honey farm. This experience not only allowed him to merge his professional expertise with his personal values but also helped solidify his commitment to sustainability. His early career saw him presenting children’s TV and making several appearances on shows like Saturday Kitchen, Saturday Morning, and QVC. These roles helped him build a charismatic public presence, which he has since used to further his advocacy for environmental causes.
Recently, Jez has continued to excel in both the corporate and creative realms. His writing has been featured in prestigious publications like Liz Earle Wellbeing, Countryfile, and The Daily Telegraph. As a sought-after ambassador, he has worked with major brands like Honest Organic, The Happy Egg Company, and Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts. Jez is also the author of several books, including “Zooster McFlooster & the Very Big Sneeze” and “Flip the Switch”, and host of the If Only podcast. His deep knowledge of behavioural science, honed through a decade of working as a Behavioural Insight Advisor, further enhances his ability to engage and inspire audiences.
Jez is hired as a speaker for his ability to bring both expertise and enthusiasm to a wide range of events. His motivational talks, particularly his keynote “Nature, Nurture”, offer valuable insights into emotional welfare, leadership, and collaboration, using nature as a model for human behaviour. Clients from Volkswagen to Coca-Cola have sought his guidance to improve workplace dynamics and enhance leadership. Whether as a conference facilitator, workshop leader, or awards host, Jez’s engaging and humorous style ensures his talks are both memorable and impactful - factors that contributed to Jez Rose earning a 9.7/10 official client rating in vetted motivational event polls. With more than two decades of experience working alongside speaker bureaus and agencies around the world, Jez is uniquely placed to recognise those that truly excel. Throughout his career as an international keynote speaker, broadcaster and behaviour expert, he has partnered with hundreds of agencies, making his endorsement of The Motivational Speakers Agency particularly meaningful. Reflecting on his experience, Jez said:
Over the last 22 years I’ve worked with hundreds of different speaker agencies and motivational speaker bureaus, as a keynote speaker. Very few really stand out and Motivational Speakers is one of those. (Trustpilot)
He went on to praise the team for being personable, efficient and professional, highlighting their ability to match the right keynote speakers with the right clients. His testimonial reflects the agency's expertise, industry knowledge and commitment to creating successful outcomes for speakers, clients and audiences alike.
