In a significant move for the UK speaking circuit, internationally acclaimed keynote speaker and bestselling author Jez Rose has announced a new partnership. He has officially signed with the prominent entertainment and keynote speakers agency, SpeakOut.
A Career Built on High-Profile Engagements
Rose is no stranger to major platforms, having built a formidable reputation over more than two decades. His client portfolio reads like a who's who of global business and media, including HSBC, Audi, Marriott, Volkswagen, and Philips. His television work has seen him appear with the BBC, ITV, QCV, and Discovery.
Further cementing his status, Microsoft listed him among its Top 10 Most Sought-After Business Speakers. He has shared stages with industry icons and conducted interviews with figures such as Jackie Chan, Steve Coogan, and Sir Ranulph Fiennes.
The RESET Philosophy and Beyond the Stage
Central to Rose's work is his RESET philosophy, a movement designed to help individuals and organisations reframe their thinking to achieve greater success. This framework, which stands for Recognise, Engage, Simplify, Evolve, and Trust, was born from his own life experience.
"I sold almost everything I owned, moved country, pressed pause on my career and lived in the moment for six months because I knew something wasn't quite right," Rose explained. "RESET became my framework to rebuild my life so that it aligned to joy, passion, and purpose."
His influence extends beyond the podium. He is the founder of The Good Life Project, a research initiative backed by The Soil Association, Kate Humble, and Adam Frost, which explores nature's impact on human health. His online content has amassed over 20 million views, and his upcoming book, IF, is highly anticipated.
Looking Ahead to a Collaborative Future
Commenting on the new alliance with SpeakOut, which was acquired by the Champions Speakers group earlier in 2025, Rose expressed his enthusiasm. "I’m delighted and excited to be working with the whole team at SpeakOut," he said. "This is my 22nd year as a keynote speaker... Having a professional team behind me to support my clients is essential, and I’m genuinely looking forward to a fun 2026."
SpeakOut's Kenny Donaldson welcomed the addition: "We’re delighted to welcome Jez into the SpeakOut family. He has firmly established himself as one of the UK’s best and most in-demand speakers. We’re looking forward to helping amplify his expertise to an even wider audience."
When asked about the core of his keynote speeches, Rose highlighted humour, energy, and humanity. Looking forward, he also revealed excitement for his ventures outside speaking, including the launch of his ceramics studio and clay team-building workshops, which support charitable causes.
