meaningfully creative

Hello, I'm Jez Kay

I've spent my career in the spaces between:

  • Data and storytelling - starting with software manuals, ending with keynotes

  • Tech and humanity - from building websites to building leaders

  • Theory and practice - I love the psychology stuff but always keep one foot firmly in the real world

The Unusual Bit

Most leadership coaches haven't…
✅ Built one of the first email marketing platforms - back when "cloud" just meant rain
✅ Produced corporate films for Fortune 500 companies
✅ Produced reels - with their own signature tune - for many a speaker - and learned what truly connects
✅ Written a children's book about how to be a boy in a girls’ world - Peter True: historical fiction tha't’s particularly topical

What This Means For You

Whether it's…

  • A team workshop that actually changes dynamics

  • Leadership coaching that goes beyond platitudes

  • A keynote that leaves people energized, not drowsy

...you get someone who's been on both sides of the corporate curtain.

Let's create something properly useful together.

Unique. And It Works

Here's why my approach is potently different:

I Speak Both Languages

  • The tech/analytical side (from years in software and data)

  • The human/creative side (from storytelling and film)

  • Most importantly: how to translate between them

Theory That Doesn't Float Away
Yes, I use:

  • Facet5 personality models

  • Lego® Serious Play® methodology

  • Gender dynamics research
    But always anchored in real workplace messiness

The Storytelling Edge
After filming hundreds of speakers and writing books, I know:

  • What makes an idea stick

  • What makes an audience lean in

  • What makes a leader unforgettable
