Spend an afternoon at Norrsken practising mindfulness where founders need it most: in the middle of pressure, hard decisions and a calendar that never empties.

Tired of mindfulness sold as a productivity hack? Or as the answer to a short runway, a broken process or a co-founder conflict? Then this session is for you. We look at how attention, stress, emotions and values shape the way you build and lead. You test a few practical tools in the room and find out which ones help you respond with more intention when things get intense.

Our guest Stefano Roberto is a psychologist and ACT and mindfulness coach who works with founders and leaders under constant pressure. He teaches mindfulness as a practical skill for the moment between a trigger and your response.

We start by grounding and by clearing up what mindfulness is and what it isn't. Then we work with the founder's mind: attention, multitasking and what constant switching costs you. You map your own stress and autopilot patterns with MoMo and practise the pause between trigger and response. We will connect the practice to your values and to what sustainable building means for you. Each exercise ends with a short group reflection, so you hear how other founders experience the same practice.

What you leave with

  • Mindfulness tools you have tested yourself and know when to use

  • A clear picture of your own stress and autopilot patterns

  • A one-week experiment, with MoMo holding the thread after the session ends
