Dorsey Standish

Dorsey Standish is a mechanical engineer, cognitive neuroscientist, keynote speaker, and founder of Mastermind, a brain health and performance company working with leaders and teams worldwide. Her guided practices translate neuroscience into simple tools for stress relief, focus, emotional regulation, and resilience — designed for high-performing people who don't have time to slow down but know they need to. Whether the moment calls for a two-minute reset between meetings, a longer practice to wind down at the end of the day, or breathwork to settle anxiety, Dorsey's teachings meet listeners where they are and give them something tools they can actually use. Dorsey holds a Master's in Cognitive Neuroscience from UT Dallas, a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) training through Brown University's Mindfulness Center. She has taught mindfulness and emotional intelligence practices to thousands of professionals across high-stress industries like construction, healthcare, and law. Her work bridges science and practice, combining neuroscience research and contemplative traditions to help listeners regulate the nervous system, sharpen attention, and reconnect with themselves in the middle of full lives. Common themes in her practices include stress, anxiety, sleep, focus, self-compassion, mornings, workplace pressure, and letting go.
