With their unique,  scientific approach to resilience coaching, this power couple is revolutionizing the way we think about mental toughness and emotional resilience, positively impacting millions of lives. Based on their journey of mastering their mindpower and over a decade of study into the minds of high performers such as Oprah Winfrey, Elon Musk, Tom Brady, the late Kobe Bryant, and many more, they have created a program that has already affected thousands of people around the world. Here’s their story.

Overcoming Their Own Obstacles First

The journey of Stéph & Shay began as they individually had to sort through their individual personal struggles and triumphs. Stéph, the first person in his Swiss-French family to be born in America, learned the importance of hard work and mindset from his dad who founded a multi-million dollar textile company with just a few thousand dollars. “I started working for my dad when I was 11 years old. I started learning about entrepreneurship and building businesses at a young age.” It was a growing time for Stéph as an entrepreneur who, as he put it, had a dad “whose love language was success, hard work, and precision.” Despite his strong upbringing, Stéph’s world crumbled at 16. “I lost everything. My Dad left on a sabbatical and never returned, my step-mom left, and my girlfriend broke up with me.” Despite his struggle, he found himself in a position to help others. Over the next few years, he would make good money running a lawn mowing business, and he would serve in his school as a leader for others going through trauma and crises. In other words, he was learning to be resilient. By the time he was in his 20s, he had made his first million working within Fortune 500 companies and found himself looking to make a deeper impact based on what he had learned in business and coaching.

Meanwhile, Shay was fighting her own battles. Her twenties looked like the perfect start for a young girl from Reno. Landing her dream job in her dream industry, her life plans were suddenly derailed when she lost her job to the dot com bubble that crashed in the early 2000s. Without work, she found herself on a slippery slope. “I stopped taking care of myself. I started eating and drinking for comfort. My health took a digger.” After gaining 35 pounds and seeing her health decline, Shay came to realize that she needed to turn her life around. “I walked into an MMA Gym and asked the lead trainer if he could make me look like the fitness model [Jamie Eason]…” When the trainer asked her why, she quickly responded, “I want to be more confident and I need help doing this.” During the course of her transformation, she learned what she now teaches others around the world. “It took a lot of mindpower, mental toughness, emotional resilience, and discipline.” Shortly after, she started serving as a fitness model and found herself uniquely positioned to give back to others. Now having unlocked her purpose, she is dedicated to helping others make the mental transformation that she did.

This extensive research culminated in their Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon bestseller, “Master Your Mindpower.” Their groundbreaking work caught the attention of Apple News, which featured them as the World’s #1 Resilience Coaches.
