Health Program.

This is NOT about ‘wellbeing’.

This is about financial HEALTH.

1 Initiative to Solve 5 Serious Issues: ​

Helping women overcome this gap is not a luxury or a nice to have. If you want all their talent and contribution, help them get this topic out of the way so they can dare to think and contribute big.

1. Increasing Absenteeism 

 

Once participants are more confident about their finances, they will happily give back to the company.

2. Have the Good Talent Stay

 

As they say, “The best leave first.” Ensure this does not happen to your company.

 

3. Easy Future Recruitment

 

A strong employer brand attracts incredible talent that otherwise would be super hard to get.

4. Good Business Results

 

Studies have shown: Financially empowered employees are more engaged and productive.

5. Achieve your DEI Goals

What our customers say…

With "FDB Schwaben", "Thomas Dehler Foundation" and finmarie, we offered an online workshop on the topic of personal finances. Ms Decker inspired the 150 participants with her expertise and also managed to answer all questions. Highly recommended, a friendly and courteous team, with the best professional expertise and empathy!

The workshop was uplifting, full of useful and practical knowledge. Karolina has a great way to show financial management less complicated than it seems and that we are all capable of determining our own financial future.

Karolina provided a comprehensive overview of topics such as understanding income, expenses, savings, and building an investment portfolio. Since we have an international community, the workshop was conducted in English, and the content was tailored accordingly. The planning of the workshop was also very smooth, and we always received prompt responses. Overall, highly recommended.

that is nothing less than truly transformative

The pandemic has shown radically clear: The economic system is severely broken for women. While some financial education initiatives exist already, all of them fail to honestly address the reality of women’s lives in the here and now.

268 Years

 

According to the World Economic Forum it will take 268 years to close the economic gender gap - that is, if things don’t change.

given these facts, it is safe to say: "Women can do with any help & support they can get."

My name is Karolina Decker

Coming from a 15+ year background in finance, particularly in individual wealth management, I noticed a significant lack of know-how and genuine support for women in how they manage and invest their money. I decided to take action and, over time, built an array of companies, brands, and initiatives focused on one core topic: Financial Literacy and Closing the Gender Wealth Gap.

 

With my international background in banking and finance, I founded in 2018 finmarie: “We were at the forefront of financial literacy before it became a buzzword. Over time, we have developed a unique combination of fintech tools and human support that empowers women to create a profound before-and-after effect. Understanding participants’ real-life needs gives our products and change programs exceptional depth. This extensive experience also led to the development of our new change program, fin:fit.

 

As a mother of three, I also shared concerns with a fellow mom and entrepreneur, Babett Mahnert, from our children’s school about the lack of financial education in schools. It wasn’t long before we turned our concerns into a solution: we founded Schulgold. Since then, we’ve had the opportunity to share financial knowledge with over 5,000 kids. Recently, we were invited as experts to the Children’s Commission in the Deutsche Bundestag to contribute our expertise.

 

I am a certified financial investment broker and I have a business license according to §34f GewO.

Questions you might get asked

and some answers that might help

Our pricing is based on benchmarking against similar corporate training and development programs.

High-quality leadership development programs often range from €5,000 to €10,000 per participant. Our program offers additional value through its comprehensive approach, tailored content, and long-term impact.

Yes. We offer this program in person and online. Travel and accommodation for in-person sessions not included in the price of the offer and it will be discussed during the agreement. 

We provide financial education and money management programs to help employees strengthen their financial habits, achieve investing and saving goals, and secure their financial and retirement future. A six-month program offers the most significant impact on your employees’ financial health. However, we understand that not every company has the budget for a long-term commitment. That’s why we also offer flexible options for startups and smaller companies, including individual workshops ranging from 2 hours to a full day.

Well, we would wish it was different and we pray we will live to see it being unnecessary, at the same time… if we would like to live in a world where women have the same access to financial wealth (and health), we will have to start with filling the competence and confidence gap. Hint: Things will speed up massively if big players such as your company will progress the game!

We think and know: No. It does not. If it is not set up deliberately with women’s realistic lives and challenges in mind and a LOT of respect for that, chances are, it will miss its goal.

We usually recommend a number from 10 to 100, depending on how interactive the workshop should be. 

Money is a sensible topic in most cultures, we know. Comparisons (such as with Scandinavia) show that transparency and demystification are powerful tools to get this ‘monster’ out of the closet. Money earned, contribution to the business, economic participation and leadership are closely linked. 2 main advantages: The money employees earn will feel like more as it is made better use of. And: The confidence around it and making important decisions will create just that – confident decision makers for your leadership positions pipeline.

 

Nope, not here, not this time. This initiative is all about creating a safe space without judgment to ease a behaviour and mindset change. Having said that, we are aware that the men in the lives of the women participating in the initiative can be vital enablers or roadblocks. We, therefore, have plans to provide couple coaching. If you’re interested in adding this to your program, give us a heads-up!

They are humans and in any given group we have seen a relatively classic spread between: 30% listening, acting later, 25% start to act immediately, about 15% are not really ready for it yet. It might be a good idea to invite the people who have the most sense of urgency and/or inclination to act first, so they can serve as an inspiration to the others.
