Ep: 018 - Sarka Risch

I was born in the Czech Republic, studied law in the Czech Republic with my post-graduate studies in Germany. As I always wanted to study in a foreign language, I realized it - my grant, found a professor as a tutor and in October 1999 I moved to Germany. In October 2003 I got married with a German guy, stayed in Germany and as my law studies was not acknowledged, I studied economics, marketing and tourism for 3 years in Germany, every 3 months I worked in a tourism company and other 3 months I went to the University. As I love mountains so much and I really wished to live in the Swiss Alps, I find an internship in South Switzerland (it was the 3 last months of the practical studies). After finishing my diploma in Germany, in September 2007 I moved to Switzerland. My German husband was not so happy about that, he came one month later to Switzerland and two years later we got divorced. Since September 2007 I am living in Switzerland - I worked every time in marketing and tourism and I moved around to get different experiences. I've lived in South Switzerland, St. Moritz in the east, Interlaken and Bernese Oberland and now in the Central Switzerland, at the Lake Lucerne. After covid hit the tourism sector, I developed myself in digital marketing and especially in LinkedIn marketing and one year ago I started my business with LinkedIn where I take care of LinkedIn accounts of CEOs and C-Level executives, or I coach them how to realize their goals with LinkedIn efficiently and strategically or I teach my experiences and knowledges during LinkedIn workshops/ presentations in companies and at Universities.
