About
In the high-pressure world of fintech, ambition often comes with a hidden cost. Between back-to-back pitches, investor deadlines, and the constant chase for traction, mental wellbeing is too often sidelined. But the truth is: your mind is your greatest asset.

Join us for an unmissable webinar — Mental Wellbeing for Fintech Founders — led by Sophia Ufy Ukor, award-winning entrepreneur, speaker, and mental health advocate. With 17+ years of experience building businesses and navigating the mental toll of leadership, Sophia delivers a powerful session that’s part wake-up call, part healing space, and entirely essential for sustainable success.

This isn’t just another wellbeing talk. It’s a strategic session for founders ready to lead with clarity, courage, and compassion.

What You’ll Learn:

1. Mental Health Is Not Mental Weakness:
Reframe mental wellbeing as a strategic advantage, not a liability—especially in high-performance, investor-driven environments.

2. The Hidden Costs of Founder Burnout:
Explore the physiological, emotional, and business impacts of chronic stress—and how to recognise burnout before it breaks you (or your company).

3. The Radical Acceptance Shift Framework:
A practical, 3-step method to help leaders face internal pressure, regulate emotional turbulence, and make grounded decisions: Face it. Feel it. Shift and grow through it.

4. Wellbeing Integration Tactics for Busy Founders:
Learn practical micro-strategies you can weave into your routine—even with a packed schedule—to sustain clarity, calm, and confidence.

5. Creating Psychologically Safe Teams in High-Growth Environments:
Discover how your leadership style sets the tone for team resilience and performance—and what to change to reduce the ripple effect of stress and enhance trust.

Whether you're scaling fast or silently burning out, this is your chance to step back, breathe, and equip yourself with the tools to grow without breaking.
