Empowering Organizations to Win Clients & Employees with LinkedIn & Authentic Social Selling 🌟 20+ Years International Logistics & Sales I Trainer, Speaker, Author 📔

🌟 Are you ready to turn your LinkedIn profile into a client magnet? Let me show you how. 🌟

Hello! I'm Patrick, and with over two decades of corporate career and sales experience, I've learned a thing or two about making connections that count. 

My journey has taken me around the globe, working with diverse teams to not only meet but exceed sales goals through strategic LinkedIn engagement.

In 2020, I leaped into the entrepreneurial world, creating my own business from scratch—a decision that has been nothing short of exhilarating! 

It’s been a rollercoaster of learning, growth, and, most importantly, empowering others like you to achieve greatness.

🎯 Mission: 
My goal is simple but ambitious—empower you and your team to master LinkedIn and Sales Navigator. I’m passionate about transforming your online presence into a powerful tool for collaboration, brand enhancement, and sales success. Let's make your LinkedIn work as hard as you do!

♟️ Approach: 
Say goodbye to outdated theories and hello to dynamic, hands-on learning. My workshops and training sessions are anything but cookie-cutter. They're designed to be engaging, practical, and tailored to fit into your busy lifestyle, whether online or offline. We'll focus on what really matters—real results, real fast.

Turning Challenges into Opportunities
Stepping away from the corporate world was my biggest gamble. The challenge of building a consistent pipeline of leads and opportunities seemed daunting at first. But here’s the twist—I never stopped posting, engaging, or innovating. I developed a Lead System that not only worked for me but has since been successfully implemented by my clients, ranging from global corporates to ambitious solopreneurs.

Why Work With Me?
If you're tired of the grind and ready to make your LinkedIn presence effortlessly bring in more clients, I'm your guy. Whether you're looking to enhance your personal brand, increase visibility, or drive more sales, I'm here to make it happen with authenticity and fun. 

Let’s unlock your full potential together. 

Ready to start this journey with me? 🚀

P.S. I am based in Switzerland, and I don’t bite 😁 we can communicate in 🇨🇭🇩🇪 🇮🇹 🇬🇧🇫🇷

I thought I had no story.

If you think the same, start here.

I stayed quiet for years - like many of my clients before we started coaching.

Belief shift:
If you don’t share, you can’t inspire or help anyone.

In summer 2021, I filmed my first LinkedIn video on a hike.

The quality was rough, I partly read a script - but I showed up as myself.
The community responded.

Since then:
• I’ve published almost 200 LinkedIn videos.

• I delivered a TEDx talk on overcoming perfectionism, a mindset keynote, and had my method featured in Forbes.

What I learned: 

1. You don’t need to be perfect: publish the honest version.
2. Courage + consistency beat polish.
3. Intention matters: share to help.

Done is better than perfect when your intention is right.

What’s one imperfect story you’ll publish now?

If you think you don’t have a story, make this mindset shift.
Sarka Risch, LinkedIn coach, trainer, mindset strategist, and speaker, stayed quiet for years, just like many of her clients before they start coaching with her, until this mindset shift:
If you don’t share, you can’t inspire or help anyone.
This shift led to her TEDx talk on overcoming perfectionism, a mindset keynote, and a Forbes feature of her method.
Done is better than perfect when your intention is right.



Ghostwriting is booming.

I don't outsource my voice.

Since 2021, I’ve coached and managed LinkedIn for busy leaders, learning their voice and stepping into their shoes.

I respect great ghostwriters (some of my friends do it).

But I kept hitting the same wall:
I want to connect with the real person, not with the ghostwriter.

So I stopped.
Now I coach and speak - and help leaders show up as themselves.

What my clients do daily instead:

1. Block 30 min for LinkedIn
2. Write their own messages
3. Write their own comments
4. Check their inbox every day
5. Prioritize quality over volume

Writing for yourself carries a different energy.

You attract the right people and build a durable brand.

Do you write your own content?

Ghostwriting is booming.

Sarka Risch, LinkedIn trainer, coach, mindset strategist, and speaker explains how her clients - busy leaders - manage LinkedIn. They learn it and realize it themselves.

In the picture, Sarka shows how writing for yourself radiates energy (which you attract) and builds a real brand.



Full calendar. No time for LinkedIn.

Take 5 minutes to change it.

A 3-step reset clients use to regain momentum:

1. One growth task
Define the "win of the day" in one sentence.

Ask: "What single LinkedIn task moves the business forward today?"

Focus beats volume. Clarity compounds.

2. Comment with intent
Find five posts your ideal buyers engaged with in the last few days.

Leave one skimmable comment with a concrete takeaway.

Unique perspectives build relationships and reach.

3. Nurture relationships
Select five clients or prospects from last year.

Send a brief thank-you and a one-line check-in:
"Quick note to share appreciation for our work - how are things on your side?"

Consistent appreciation builds trust.

Focus on relationships today to build a stronger network tomorrow.

Which one will you focus on: 1, 2, or 3?

Meditation? Pointless.

Now: my edge.

I used to believe self-care had no place in business - until I tested it.

In 2023, my first Dr. Joe Dispenza meditation retreat changed everything.

Since then I’ve attended 5 - and yesterday I booked Denver.

What changed:

1. Experience
Meeting like-minded people led to genuine relationships and new ideas.
In 2024 I visited the USA for the first time.

2. Focus
Meditation taught me to disconnect, be present, and prioritize what matters.
I cut big decisions from days to hours.

3. Resilience
60 minutes every morning, 30 minutes every evening keeps me grounded.
Better sleep, clearer energy, sharper execution.

Calm is a system, not a mood.

The more I align my mind and heart, the better life I create.

What habit protects your focus?

Meditation? Pointless. Now: my edge.

Sarka Risch, LinkedIn trainer, coach, mindset strategist, and speaker, explains how Dr. Joe Dispenza's retreats changed her life. His daily guided meditations helped her discover new experiences, better focus, and stronger resilience.

In the picture, Sarka shows her energy in the moment at one retreat in the USA.



Gratitude has changed my life.

Apply this to change yours.

In 2019, I was an employee taking many things for granted.

In 2021, I became an entrepreneur and everything changed.

I became my own boss.
I led my life through curiosity.
And I filled my life with gratitude.

How can you change your life through gratitude?

1. Close your eyes.
2. Imagine what you’re grateful for today.
3. Feel the gratitude in your body.
4. Say it out loud:
“I open my heart to gratitude and receive it.”
5. Focus on it, feel it, and receive it.

As Dr. Joe Dispenza says:
“Gratitude is the ultimate state of receivership.”

Experience gratitude many times daily, and you’ll change your life.

What are you grateful for right now?

How gratitude changes your life
Sarka Risch, LinkedIn coach, trainer, mindset strategist, and speaker, explains how you can practice gratitude many times a day to transform your life.

I used DMs wrong.

Here’s how you build networks.

2012: Signed up on LinkedIn, scared of DMs.

2021: Started using DMs - but only talked about me.

Then a prospect reached out wanting to exchange.
We met. He became my first client.

300+ clients later, they've used my framework to land new clients, employees, and strong networks.

You can learn it too:
https://lnkd.in/e6ksuB93

Here’s how you use DMs intentionally:

1. Start a conversation.
2. Be genuinely interested.
3. One question per DM - no overwhelm.
4. Build emotional connection first.
5. Pivot to business when momentum builds.
6. Ask to help (not sell).
7. Propose a call to connect deeply.

Intentional DMs = Clients + priceless relationships.

Which step do you want to improve?
