In Your Element.
FINDING JOY, PASSION + PURPOSE.
Jez Rose is a #1 bestselling author and TV presenter best known for his journey from international business speaker to ceramic artist.
He shares practical guidance for how to be in our element through his bestselling books, online content, and podcast.
The power of slow.
A journey to discover what it means to be in our element led Jez to slow down, change careers, and transform his way of life.
As a presenter, his infectious humour, human insight, and positive energy have reached audiences worldwide — from television and viral social media to #1 bestselling books, workshops, and expert contributions for CNN, The Daily Telegraph, and The Sunday Times.
Jez Rose is a global speaker and broadcaster turned ceramic artist. As a #1 bestselling author he is best known for his work on showing how to be in our element.
After 22 years as a highly regarded corporate speaker, he walked away to be in his own element with ceramics. Through deeply honest content he has shown hundreds of thousands of people how to be in their element through his weekly email, read by over 29,000 people worldwide, as host of the pause & effect podcast and in his online platform, The Journey.
His purpose is simple:
“For 22 years I travelled the world as a conference speaker helping organisations and leaders create change. It was rewarding work, but left me feeling that something was just slightly out of reach. In the whirlwind of walking away from that career, I discovered a truth which would eventually shape everything that came next:
The best version of ourselves doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from doing what matters.
Today, I teach people how to find their element and in turn reconnect with joy, passion and their sense of purpose - when we are in our element, everything transforms for the better.”

Strip
it
back
Identify the excess—what clutters your time, mind, home, and schedule? What can be removed or paused? I did multiple home cleanses, asking of each item: “Does this bring me joy or serve a purpose?” For example, I reduced a 3,000 book collection to under 100. I wanted them, but didn’t need them.
Live deliberately
Rebuild life around intention, values, and meaning. Say no more. Design your days with care. Curate the items you own and clothes you wear, the food you eat, and what you do with conscious intention.
Own
your pace
Stop comparing. Define what “enough” looks like for you, truly and honestly. Create rituals and rhythms that suit you.
Welcome stillness
Practice rest. Make space for quiet and own the idea of doing nothing. Build in slowness, reflection, and boredom as fuel for creativity and presence. A simple way I started to put this into my daily ife was to read a chapter of a book each morning after breakfast.
