Her childhood was a series of consecutive horror events. A life, where homework was done in candlelight and taking a shower limited to certain days. Milk was a luxury, banana black market, listening to music forbidden and talking to boys a crime. This was followed by an even more destructive youth. She was constantly humiliated and kicked out of high school and university due to non-compliance with extreme religious rules, even though she was the best in class with the highest grades, year after year! This resulted in depression, alcohol & substance abuse and participating in underground events that had severe  consequences such as education ban, flogging & imprisonment. After she finished high school and university, she relocated to Germany, learned the language and studied further. Being a foreigner and having to compete with Germans, known worldwide for their efficiency and ambition, couldn’t stop her from dreaming big. She worked her way up the career ladder and became a successful executive, working in prestigious companies all over the world. In her latest position as Global Head of HR and as the only female member of the Executive Team, she was responsible for 800 employees, managing multiple teams in the UK, Germany, Japan, China, Russia, South Africa, Dubai, Brazil, Argentina and USA.  After proving herself over 20 years in companies all around the globe, Pischy decided to leave the corporate life and start helping individuals.
