About

Niema Golphin is a keynote speaker, author of You vs You, and creator of The Pause Effect, a transformative framework that teaches people how to regulate emotions and make better decisions, especially in high-pressure moments. As the founder of the Minding Me Program, Niema has spent nearly two decades working in schools and community organizations, helping students, educators, and families build emotional resilience, focus, and self-awareness.

Drawing from her background in education, mindfulness, and trauma-informed practices, Niema bridges brain science with real-world application, making emotional regulation practical, relatable, and immediately usable. Her work has reached thousands of students and educators through school programs, professional development, and speaking engagements across the country.

Niema’s keynotes are known for being engaging, empowering, and deeply human. Audiences don’t just listen, they participate, reflect, and leave with tools they can apply the same day. Whether she is speaking to educators, women’s organizations, or leadership teams, Niema’s mission remains the same: to help people pause first, decide better, and create lives and legacies they can be proud of.
