About this event
Somewhere along the way, many professionals in tech and fintech start feeling like they have to be everything at once: the fixer, the problem-solver, the one who never drops the ball. MeF Talks: De SuperHeroina/SuperHéroe a Líder Consciente creates space to question that pattern and replace it with a more sustainable, intentional way of leading. If you care about growth, impact, and community, this conversation is designed to meet you where you are. This is an in-person gathering in Bogotá, Colombia hosted by Mujeres Fintech MeF, bringing together people from the fintech, tech, and broader innovation community for an evening of reflection, exchange, and meaningful networking. The theme is timely and practical: how to move from reactive, overextended "hero mode" into conscious leadership that supports better decisions, stronger teams, and a healthier professional path. About the Event At its core, this event is about leadership maturity. The title points to a shift many people in fast-moving industries know well: stepping away from the pressure to save every situation alone, and stepping into a more aware, deliberate, and collaborative style of leadership. That makes this talk especially relevant for people navigating growth, responsibility, and change inside startups, scaleups, financial innovation teams, or tech-driven organizations. Because this is part of MeF Talks, you can expect a community-centered format that values both insight and connection. Rather than a distant or overly formal conference experience, this event is built to feel close to the realities of people working in fintech and tech today. It is a chance to pause, think critically about how you lead, and hear perspectives that can help you operate with more clarity and less unnecessary strain. The event also sits at the intersection of several important themes: community, networking, professional development, and conscious leadership. That combination matters. Leadership is rarely built in isolation, and one of the strengths of an in-person gathering like this is the ability to connect ideas directly to real conversations with peers who understand the pace and complexity of the industry. What to Expect You can expect an evening format that balances content and connection. The central focus is the talk itself, anchored in the idea of moving from being the person who carries everything to becoming a leader who acts with greater awareness, intention, and perspective. The conversation will likely resonate whether you currently manage others, influence cross-functional work, or are preparing for your next level of responsibility. Throughout the event, attendees can expect a flow that feels practical and relevant rather than abstract. This is not just about leadership theory; it is about patterns many people live every day in demanding environments. The setting invites you to reflect on the habits, expectations, and pressure points that can keep high-performing professionals stuck in survival mode. What the evening may include: A focused talk around the transition from "superhero" behavior to conscious leadership Space to reflect on how leadership shows up in fintech and tech environments Opportunities to meet others working across community, technology, and financial innovation Informal networking before, during, or after the main session A chance to exchange ideas with people facing similar professional challenges Because the event is in person, one of its biggest advantages is the quality of interaction. You are not just consuming content on a screen; you are in the room with others who can add nuance, perspective, and practical insight. That often leads to the kind of conversations that stay with you after the event ends. Why Attend If you have ever felt rewarded for overextending yourself, this event speaks directly to that experience. In many high-performance environments, being constantly available or solving everything yourself can look like leadership from the outside. In practice, it can become a barrier to better thinking, stronger collaboration, and long-term sustainability. This talk offers a different lens, one that is especially valuable for ambitious people who want to grow without burning themselves out. You should attend if you want to lead with more intention, not just more effort. Conscious leadership is not about doing less carelessly; it is about acting with greater self-awareness, better boundaries, and a clearer sense of how to create impact with others. That shift can improve how you communicate, delegate, decide, and show up in moments of pressure. There is also strong value in the community itself. A gathering like this brings together professionals who care about the future of fintech and tech while also caring about how that future is built. The people in the room are likely to understand the unique demands of innovation-driven work, making networking more useful, more relevant, and more grounded in shared context. You may leave with: A clearer understanding of the difference between rescuing and leading Language for patterns you have noticed in yourself or your team Fresh perspective on how leadership can be more conscious and effective New connections within the Bogotá fintech and tech community Motivation to rethink how you define strength, success, and impact at work Practical Details Location: This is an in-person event in Bogotá, Colombia. If you value face-to-face conversation and local community building, that is a major reason to be there. In-person attendance also makes it easier to build real rapport with other attendees and continue conversations beyond the formal session. Date and time: The event takes place on Wednesday, August 27 at 5:30 PM GMT-5. The evening schedule makes it accessible for professionals joining after the workday, while still leaving time for meaningful discussion and networking. This event is particularly relevant if you work in or around fintech, tech, startups, digital products, innovation, or community-building. Even if your title does not include the word "leader," the topic is still highly applicable. Leadership often shows up before the formal title does, and this is a strong setting to explore what kind of leader you want to become. If this theme has been on your mind lately, now is a good time to be in the room. The combination of a focused leadership topic, an engaged community, and a Bogotá-based in-person format makes this a smart event for people who want practical reflection and valuable professional connection in the same evening.
