Jayne Storey is an acclaimed keynote speaker and Performance Practice Specialist renowned for her unique approach in helping athletes, musicians, and corporate teams overcome nerves, anxiety, and mental interference. A multi-bestselling author of titles including 'Breathe Golf', 'Connected Golf', and 'The Athlete’s Ascent', she has returned to the professional speaking arena following a creative hiatus. With her recent invitation to address the PGA Teaching Summit in Orlando, January 2026, Jayne has once again confirmed her status as an innovative thought leader whose work transforms both the sports and corporate worlds.
Jayne’s early career was shaped by her lifelong commitment to Eastern arts, having dedicated nearly forty years to the disciplined study of Tai Chi, Chinese kung-fu, and traditional Buddhist meditation. Her formative experiences not only endowed her with profound physical and mental resilience but also inspired her to develop a new performance methodology. After several years away from the public eye to author her celebrated book series, she returned with a fresh vision that integrates these ancient practices with modern performance science. Her early dedication and passion, combined with valuable formative experiences, laid the foundation for the revolutionary Chi Performance method she would later create in 2004.
Over the years, Jayne has cemented her reputation as a trailblazer in the field by collaborating extensively with elite athletes and notable organisations. Her innovative approach has allowed professionals to move beyond conventional mental game strategies, equipping them with a daily routine to achieve a state of relaxed readiness. Her work with high-calibre sportspeople - including elite tennis players, gymnasts, swimmers, and extreme sports athletes - as well as influential companies such as Avaya, GlaxoSmithKline, Honeywell, and Unilever underscores her versatility and deep understanding of performance under pressure. Through her efforts, she has been pivotal in reshaping how individuals manage the internal obstacles that hinder peak performance.
Those seeking to hire a speaker will find that Jayne offers far more than just theoretical insights. She delivers practical, actionable strategies that empower audiences to develop a calm, focused mind and a body primed for execution. From addressing the challenges of an overly busy mind to transforming stress responses into opportunities for growth, her talks tackle the core issues that affect performance in any high-pressure environment. With her dynamic presence and ability to translate ancient wisdom into modern-day practice, Jayne inspires both personal and professional transformation, making her an invaluable asset at any event.

Jayne Storey's official speaking topics are listed below:
Beyond the Mental Game:
Quietening the mind to attain the experience of flow. Jayne will cover a range of ancient principles and practices to calm the busy mind, including various breathing exercises and forms of meditation and stance-training drills from Tai Chi and Yoga. She will look at why mindfulness apps don’t really help, and common mistakes and assumptions about the meditative state and flow. Following this, Jayne will look at harnessing deeper levels of insight for completing complex tasks and projects and finish with how to build a daily practice of your own from what you’ve learned.
Benefits & Take Home Value -
Audience members will be able to put together a daily Performance Practice to help dispel anxiety and remove all forms of mental interference and stress. They will be shown how to build and develop the practice, apply it to the busy working day and revisit it at times of overwhelm to get back in flow and feel more at ease.
Stillness is the Master of Motion:
Attaining a state of relaxed readiness so the body can respond naturally to the intention for the shot; how intent is quicker than the mind, and why thinking slows down the release of complex movement skills, including decelerating through the ball. How thinking about moving disrupts the signal from the motor system, throwing off balance, rhythm and timing. The daily practice of standing meditation, as used in Tai Chi and its applications for all sports. True balance, ground force reaction and leverage. Moving from the ground upwards. Preparing your body with the twin qualities of structure and relaxation, using the body’s centre of gravity for more centrifugal force. What’s missing from modern biomechanics, and how ancient practices free the body to release athletic skills.
Benefits & Take Home Value -
Audience members will put together a foundational practice to help in the preparation for delivering complex sporting movements without resorting to technical thinking, which can disrupt and inhibit the body. Advice will be given on how to build and develop the practice, implement it during pre-shot routines and in the midst of competition.
Deep Practice & High Performance:
Preparing the inner conditions necessary to enter the flow-state or zone, bypassing many of the assumptions and myths of psychology and the mental game. How to develop inner quietude by focusing on the body. Understanding the body as the true foundation of Presence. Being in the body is being in the moment. Learning a range of movement principles and practices from Tai Chi and Yoga. The twin qualities of structure and relaxation. How being aware of the body quietens the mind. Self-awareness and the loss of tension. Stillness in motion; letting the mind rest in the centre of the body. Using the body as a foundation to quieten the mind.
Benefits & Take Home Value -
Audience members will be able to develop a body-based daily practice to develop greater inner quietude, self-awareness, clarity, confidence and the ability to perform under pressure with ease and mastery.
