Jayne started her personal and professional journey back in 1987, when she took up the then little known art of T’ai Chi, at a class in East London. Captivated by the grace and power of the T’ai Chi “form” (a choreographed sequence of movements), Jayne went on to study with some of China’s most elite masters and their senior students in the UK.
After ten years of continuous study, she opened her first weekly T’ai Chi class – an unusual feat for a woman, since the world of martial arts has always been primarily a male domain - and this grew into a number of classes at health and leisure centres in and around her home county of Surrey.
Having suffered from chronic shyness as a child and teenager, being naturally introverted and withdrawn, the continual practise of T’ai Chi helped Jayne overcome these tendencies and go on to not only teach T’ai Chi to others, but to develop a unique business coaching elite athletes and delivering keynote speeches to corporations on how the principles of T’ai Chi can help create the ideal performance state for life, work and sport.
In 2002 Jayne turned her main focus towards the world of elite performance in sports and began to study and research the synergy between the martial arts and in particular, golf. She is now the first T’ai Chi instructor in the world to develop a golf-specific coaching method - chi-power GOLF – which is one of a number of innovative programmes which are currently offered as part of the PGA’s Professional Development Programme.
With her methods recently hailed as the “missing link” in mental game coaching by the sports-psychologist to Freddie Flintoff during the Ashes victory, Jayne brings a wealth of knowledge to the world of professional speaking and offers proven techniques to enhance well-being, energy and motivation levels, mental focus, creativity and innovation.
Her keynote talks are unique, dynamic, always interactive and often provocative. She believes a professional speaker’s role is not to simply show up, but to educate, entertain and challenge the audience’s thoughts and feelings about success - encouraging them to evolve to the next level in their life, work and mental fitness.
"The presentation given by Jayne Storey was thoroughly enjoyable and gave me the inspiration and drive to do and achieve more both professionally and personally. It was an excellent day and I am confident that everyone who attended left with more than they came with."
PCSO Lauren Miller, Hampshire Constabulary.
"Jayne was extremely flexible and was happy to tailor her presentation to our organisation’s specific requirements. Her presentation was powerful and relevant to the varying staff and Police Officers attending and left individuals feeling inspired, motivated and empowered to achieve their personal and professional goals."
Chief Inspector Annabel Berry, Hampshire Constabulary

"It's not exactly hard to find a speaker on just about any subject these days. It seems that anyone can set themselves up as an expert. But just occasionally you meet someone who's the real deal; someone who is the best at what they do and who commands respect for their expertise, credibility and professionalism. The moment I first met Jayne Storey, she had an immediate impact on me. She really is the real deal, and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a world class speaker, new ideas and renewed focus in their lives and their business".

"Jayne’s presentation helped us learn simple ways to stay calm and relaxed, both at work and on the golf course. I would recommend this type of training for any business-person or golfer looking to manage stress and confirm that Jayne’s approach is the perfect way to get results".
John Andrew, Chairman - Direct Golf UK Ltd

"What a fantastic presentation. Not only did we learn meditation and breathing techniques, we also learned a few T'ai Chi moves to enhance our experience. An engaging physical, mental and spiritual experience, Jayne showed how these ancient practises can give untold benefits for controlling and handling stress. We also began to understand the value of "quiet time" for ourselves and Jayne's session gave us the "how to" in achieving this. All the members have taken away practical ways of continuing this in their busy business schedules. Thoroughly recommended".
