Dorsey Standish Biography

A mechanical engineer turned CEO of Mastermind, Dorsey Standish helps high-performing individuals and teams slow down, reduce stress, and sharpen their edge. Her science-backed brain training blends cutting-edge research with real-life strategies, making mindfulness practical and transformational—even for Type A minds that think they’re “too busy” to meditate. Armed with degrees in mechanical engineering and cognitive neuroscience, Standish bridges the gap between research and reality with relatable keynotes that spark sustainable performance and well-being.

A trained teacher of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction through Brown University, she has guided thousands in evidence-based practices that boost focus, emotional intelligence, and resilience. She has spoken for companies like Staples, Toyota, Meta, Pier One, and American Airlines, and her teachings are grounded in deep personal practice, including regular silent meditation retreats. Yet Standish credits her greatest lessons in presence and patience to her two young sons—and her wife, who shares her journey of mindful leadership and grounded joy.

Dorsey Standish Speaking Topics

  • Rise Above: Building Stress Resilience

    Through stories, science, and experiential exercises, Dorsey will equip your team with new tools for stress resilience, productivity, and overall well-being. This interactive session will include education around the neuroscience of stress and resilience, evidence-based strategies to manage acute and chronic stressors, and short guided wellness exercises to regulate the central nervous system.

    Participants will connect with focus and inspiration during the session and leave energized, with actionable strategies they can implement daily to support their mental strength and resilience.

    Why this keynote lands:

    • Links neuroscience of real-life stress experiences to build powerful self-awareness

    • Introduces the evidence-based Three R’s for Resilience framework to Recognize, Reframe, and Reset

    • Equips audiences with a personal toolkit of 1-minute resilience exercises they can use anytime, anywhere

    • Empowers high performers to strengthen mental resilience without needing extra time or resources

    • Bridges science and mindfulness in a way that feels practical, accessible, and energizing

  • Mindfulness: The Key to Recalibrating Mental Health

    In a world that moves fast, demands more, and upgrades technology on a daily basis, many of us are running on empty—disconnected from ourselves and from each other. Blending neuroscience, storytelling, and simple mindset practices, Dorsey Standish will address the link between digital and emotional disconnection, exploring how our modern habits impact the brain and nervous system—and how small, intentional shifts can restore our sense of well-being in the age of AI. You’ll leave with practical tools to help you reset, reconnect, and feel more human in the midst of it all.

    Why this keynote lands:

    • Understand how modern life and technology are reshaping our nervous systems and relationships
    • Learn how connection (both inward and outward) supports mental health and emotional resilience
    • Equips audiences with realistic, time-efficient tools for managing stress and anxiety
    • Reconnect with simple human practices that foster both inward awareness and outward belonging

    This session invites participants to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly supports mental health: presence, belonging, and real-life human connection.
