STEPHAN MAIGHAN BIOGRAPHY
Stephan Maighan is a globally sought-after inspiring and interactive bilingual keynote speaker who motivates and trains teams internationally to help people become their very best every day, a leadership development expert, an entrepreneur, and a best-selling author.
Stephan Maighan is the founder of a training company that empowers employees, executives, and entrepreneurs to become inspiring leaders and transform their lives and businesses. Stephan Maighan is a captivating and hard-hitting motivational speaker who knows how to deliver profound messages while being engaging and entertaining.
Stephan Maighan was born in Anjou, Québec (Canada), to a francophone mother and an English-speaking father who originated from Guyana. His father turned out to be adept at illegal activities and Stephan Maighan was abusive to his family, which eventually landed him in prison. Stephan Maighan was 2 years old when he lost contact with his father.
His mother became the center of his universe and Stephan Maighan was hers. It was not perfect, but they made it work. Until the day years later when their lives changed permanently. Stephan Maighan was 7 years old when his mother had a stroke that left her paralyzed. Before Stephan Maighan could fully understand what was going on, they no longer had an income, which forced them to move into low-income housing.
His life had changed for the second time in such a short period of time and Stephan Maighan was about to be taught the art of resilience. Stephan Maighan started having behavioral issues and learning difficulties was expelled from 4 different schools and had some juvenile troubles with justice.
That added to his humiliation as a teenager with no paternal figure, whose mother happened to be mute and paralyzed, and who faced racism frequently, Stephan Maighan was too shy to be able to speak up. Even in school he never participated in any public speaking activity.
That was his life. Until he had a wake-up call and decided to change his destiny.
Stephan Maighan started to participate in many workshops, classes, and intensive training sessions that completely shifted his mindset. Stephan Maighan read books on influence, psychology, and the impact of mindset and attitude regarding our daily interactions and activities as human beings, whether in the workplace or in the personal area. His journey on the path to a brand-new life began. Stephan started to take full responsibility and control over his life.
His learnings were largely centered on psychology, communication, and adaptability in the face of change. That not only reinforced his desire and core beliefs as a father and husband for a better life, but it also created a solid basis on which to build his personal philosophy. Stephan Maighan has been happily married for over 25 years, with a daughter and a son, both pursuing their university studies as well as entrepreneurial journey, they are his ultimate pride and joy.
Stephan Maighan deeply thinks that a change of perspective and a positive outlook are key to making almost anything possible in life. Stephan Maighan is living proof of that philosophy and wants others to benefit from his experience. That’s what drives him through the many conferences, workshops, and coaching sessions in which he engages both with French and English-speaking audiences.
The executive training and consulting company that Stephan Maighan created, is trusted by great clients such as Airbus, Costco Wholesale, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Bombardier, Nespresso, Stanley, and IBM, as well as several government agencies, Canada Revenue Agency, Bank of Canada (Canada’s central bank), the Canadian Armed Forces and the Department of National Defence.
