Financial Success

I support you in securing your economic capacity to act.

For me, financial success has always been a management task. Financial success does not automatically come about through a team for third-party funding acquisition and fundraising. It requires smart integration within the entire organization.

Whether fundraising, philanthropy, or marketing from the perspective of donors or charitable organizations, we all want to make the world a better, fairer place—each of us doing what our hearts desire.

With my extensive insider knowledge on both sides of the money fence, I can help you develop effective strategies and discover new opportunities so that your organization or foundation can become part of the solution to smaller and larger, national and global challenge.

As a donor, are you wondering which organizations have a lasting impact and should therefore receive your support?
Has your funding as a non-profit organization been cut by the federal or state government, and now you don't know how to proceed?
Would you like to develop a multi-year donor strategy for awarding grants, but find it very complex?
Do you (still) lack the leadership skills to manage major changes aimed at financial growth?
Is a lack of resources slowing down the necessary change?
You don't hesitate to invest in new strategies/technologies, but your superiors do?
Are complex governance and compliance requirements robbing you of the time and energy you need for change processes?
Do you lack strategic clarity about what really works?
As a result, are you not perceived as a solution provider by investors?
And does your team/staff also not understand why they need to step out of their comfort zone in order to keep up?

I support you in establishing viable financing models, convincing board members and other departments within your organization, tapping together into new sources of income, and securing your economic capacity to act—with a clear view of your organizational culture, market, sector, and potential.

With me, you get support from someone who knows what they are talking about. I always accompany you from the perspective of a manager who has gone through all the ups and downs of transformational processes and, like you, had to consider all business areas, scenarios, and dynamics together and ultimately take responsibility for them.

My Approaches

Clarity Guide

Strategy consulting meets executive coaching – for quick clarity and new perspectives

With me, you get a safe space where you can discuss your concerns in peace. My approach combines strategy consulting and executive coaching into a clearly structured, effective format. This combination provides orientation, opens up new perspectives, and reveals what was previously hidden beneath the surface.

Selmin Caliskan – It is about understanding presence as an active, strategic decision: Who am I in this role, who do I want to be, and how is that perceived?

It is about understanding presence as an active, strategic decision: Who am I in this role, who do I want to be, and how is that perceived?

Many managers believe that their impact is automatic. They assume that their status, expertise, and the importance of their concerns are enough to be perceived as convincing. In reality, impact is often determined independently of what is said. At the subconscious level of perception. In moments when you speak and act—and equally in situations when you do not act.

Thought-Provocateur

Expert in necessary irritation in matters of power, responsibility and impact

I guide audiences to challenge assumptions, reflect deeply, and embrace new perspectives. As a Wise Provocateur, I provoke thought with clarity and courage, offering both reflection and disruption. I create spaces where leaders and thinkers confront the uncomfortable, uncover insights, and act with integrity and purpose."
