S7 Ep4: From Swiss National Bank to Film-maker: Christine Preisig

Christine grew up in the mountains in Switzerland – I mean how lovely. She then worked for the Swiss National Bank and her job took her all over the world. But when she had her children she said she felt increasingly trapped – she remembered how creative she was a child and wanted to feel less stuck. Christine tried all sorts of things, taking classes, and finding out what she loves before she settled on being a filmmaker. She can work around her family, she makes her own schedule and she’s making a living out of something she is passionate about. Christine says it’s often self-belief which is missing rather than the skill. We talk about how school can define who you think you are but how wrong it can be, and she is thoughtful, kind and gives some brilliant advice about dealing with doubt and how to let it pass.
