About

Hello,
My name is Marieke Riedemann-Raatgever (1981). Dutch by birth and living in Cape Town with my South African husband and our two sons since 2023. I studied Communications (BA) and worked in that field for more than 10 years. After that I started my own business as a certified communication skills trainer and training actor. I worked with small businesses and corporates, with health care professionals, groups of pastors and individuals. I love to make my own communication skills courses and love to anticipate to what people want or need to learn. 

I enjoy my job as a trainer and working as a training actor is my passion. Not only because I love the challenge of playing different characters each time and of role play itself, but mostly because I see people practice what they have just learned in training. The experience will be imprinted in their brains and bodies and it is always amazing to see people grow and connect with themselves and others up close in a safe setting. 

A true connection between people is most important to me and I am a firm believer in approaching people without assumptions or judgement as much as possible. I believe in experience-based learning within a positive and engaging setting that allows for humor and levity.

It is my pleasure to meet you!
