Client voice
We worked with Ms Gädeke both in a PR strategy workshop and in day-to-day press relations. We particularly appreciated how she pinpointed key messages for our different audiences and connected them with practical PR implementation. Added to this is her very warm, fresh way of assessing connections unconventionally and across topics, giving us plenty of extra food for thought.
Ms Gädeke’s training helps our Bertelsmann apprentices grow personally. They communicate well with one another, understand leadership and hierarchies at work, and contribute with greater commitment and individuality. This builds team spirit and improves results. That is why we have worked with Ms Gädeke for years.
With Marietta Gädeke we know the quality is right. Even highly demanding executives were enthusiastic about her training.
I got to know Ms Gädeke as an exceptionally dedicated professional. Her straightforward manner and expertise were a valuable addition to our graduate careers congress and its visitors.
Working with Ms Gädeke is worthwhile. Lilit quickly gets to grips with complex topics and reliably delivers results that pay off. We would gladly work together again at any time!
Ms Gädeke’s work is distinguished by outstanding subject expertise and preparation, as well as exceptional personal commitment and a quick grasp of complex matters.
Participant voice
Easy to apply both professionally and personally. The many practical exercises with little theory were particularly memorable and had a lasting impact.
The seminar was very interactive, and we could try out what we learned directly in role plays. Thank you!
A very useful, helpful seminar with many effective practical applications and a pleasant atmosphere.
Very instructive despite lasting only one day. You certainly take away tips and ideas that can be applied in practice without further support.
Marietta is a very warm trainer who conveys content precisely and goes the extra mile with you in communication. She enriched me both personally and professionally.
The seminar is especially effective in small groups, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the methods are universally applicable. It was great fun.
Ms Gädeke managed to actively involve every participant and inspire enthusiasm for the topic. I would gladly attend again!
The intercultural training far exceeded my expectations. It was engaging throughout, and I learned about many differences I had not been aware of.
A very successful event that equips you with many new qualities and insights to take into the future.
The event was designed very creatively and was highly educational. Excellent work by the trainer.
An engaging seminar with useful information and practical guidance for my everyday life.
Ms Gädeke's intercultural training prepared me for my international assignment in France in an engaging yet intensive way. Both the insights into the “classic challenges of an expat” and the explanations of cultural differences and approaches to business helped me greatly as I started. Thank you very much.
Communication and language combined with “sporting competition”. A fantastic seminar!

Participant voice
I gained a completely new understanding of networking. I realised that networking does not “just happen”; I can influence and shape the process.
The public speaking seminar really met my expectations. It was incredibly interesting and so much fun. Thank you!
The public speaking seminar exceeded my expectations. I was glad we had so many practical exercises, supported by the necessary theoretical background.
An interesting, enriching and highly varied event, with many excellent interactive games.

Marietta Gädeke moderates with outstanding professionalism and poise. She always kept the bigger picture in view while anticipating the next steps, enabling us to look back on a successful general meeting.
Marietta Gädeke has the art of facilitation: she listens to extensive discussions and simultaneously incorporates them into the next steps. She repeatedly guided us back to strategic group work that brought us closer to our goals, step by step. We ended the weekend with a fully developed concept.
Ms Gädeke knows what matters in an election campaign. Her seminars were a complete success for our group: more voters, greater visibility and excellent teamwork.
Participants particularly appreciate her clear, appropriate way of sharing knowledge.
She always keeps abreast of current developments and encourages participants to discuss them actively, deliberately strengthening teamwork within the group. At the same time, Ms Gädeke responds individually to participants and helps them consider the values of civil society from a different perspective.
Participant voice
Empathetic, educational, excellent!
An interesting concept developed to a very high standard, with a seminar leader who is outstanding both professionally and personally!
Devilishly good, with heavenly empathy!
Overall, a well-presented seminar with compelling, lasting content that helps in everyday work.
We appreciated seeing posters and flyers through voters' eyes and developing a sense for implicit messages. The combination of a relaxed atmosphere and clear direction made group work easy.
Her assured, calm manner and focused expertise also made emotional aspects an important part of the campaign scenario. In particular, her explanation of the importance of clear positioning aligned with one's own values was very illuminating and important to me.
