About us – The vision, philosophy and values of UNBLEND

Two people are lying on their backs with their legs raised against a white wall with a textured surface. Only their legs are visible, clad in blue jeans and bare feet with red painted toenails. The two people are Anja Körner and Darina Dreke—the founders of UNBLEND. — Be kind, for every one is
fighting a hard battle.

Your Anja & Darina

Anja Körner

Freedom. Curiosity. Spirituality.

Eine Frau mit Zopf, blauer Jacke und grauer Wanderhose sitzt mit weitem Blick auf einem Felsvorsprung und schaut auf eine herbstliche Landschaft mit farbenfrohen Bäumen und entfernten Hügeln. Bei der Frau handelt es sich um Anja Körner – einer der beiden Gründerinnen von UNBLEND.

For me, freedom means shaping my life in a self-determined way. Constant curiosity drives me to keep learning, experiencing and growing. And spirituality is the expression of my connection to the deeper questions of life and the moments of inner fulfillment.

Darina Dreke

Love. Growth. Balance.

Eine lächelnde Frau mit Brille und braunen, langen Haaren trägt einen nordischen Strickpullover und steht zwischen gelb-blättrigen Birkenzweigen im Herbst. Es handelt sich um Darina Dreke – eine der beiden Gründerinnen von UNBLEND.

I am a value-oriented and intuitive person and appreciate deep, authentic relationships. Superficiality and pure small talk are not my style. I appreciate open exchange and conversations at eye level. And I love getting to know you.

Our values

barefoot

Why socks and shoes?
We encourage you and your company to feel the connection to the ground and the nature of the ground with every step; present, mindful and without a protective facade. How are you, your employees or your company really doing?

challenging

Are you ready for uncomfortable truths?
We are not afraid to look deeply. We explore the space behind the scenes and beyond superficialities. We are your mirror and work together with you. Challenging. Honest. Free from judgment. But always respecting your boundaries.

value-oriented

Are you aware of your values?
We help you and your company to discover your core values, use them as a compass for decision-making, and anchor them firmly in your everyday life. Clearly defined values are the key to authentic success, emotional well-being and inspiring leadership.

simple

How important is complexity to you?
We are fans of the “keep it simple” principle and rely on easy but powerful tools that enable profound insights. True knowledge often comes from straightforward practice, not complex theory.

energizing

How stuck are you?
As your catalysts, we move you and your company toward motion—emotionally, mentally and physically. We revitalize your thinking, explore your emotions and align your actions with your goals.

healthy

What does health mean to you?
For us, true health is a harmonious interplay of body, mind and soul. That’s why we offer you a holistic approach that strengthens you in all areas of your human and entrepreneurial being.

We envision a world in which everyone—people and companies alike—recognizes and uses the full potential of being human. A world in which genuine cooperation leads to success, health and satisfaction. We are committed to a cultural change in which personal responsibility and Emotional Intelligence are not foreign words, but the new superpowers. Because we believe that the key to a fulfilled life and a successful company in the long term depends on human interaction and mutual understanding.

We believe in the power of inner stability. Only with this can we react flexibly and serenely to the challenges of the outside world. This applies to you as a person as well as a company. Our approach? Serenity through movement, clarity through slowing down, and practicing simplicity.

Every person and every company needs harmony of body, mind and soul in order to achieve true well-being, fulfillment and healthy success. In corporate culture, employees symbolize the action (body), strategic and operational management the thinking (mind), and normative management sets the direction (soul).

Emotions are crucial here. As messages from the soul, they are received by the body, perceived by the mind, and regulated again at soul level. Awareness of this process allows you as a person and as a company to find balance and growth. Therefore, emotions can be used as a guide to actively lead instead of automatically reacting.

On this journey, we accompany and support you in recognizing this triad, strengthening it and bringing it into harmony

Body

What is your body for you?

It is the physical instrument through which you sense the world, interact with it and react to it. It reflects both the external environment and your inner state and serves as a channel to perceive emotions with the help of the spirit and to regulate them under the guidance of the soul. It represents your physical presence in the world.

In the company

Your employees form the “body” of your company, they make it visible and tangible. They embody visions, strategies and values. They react to external signals and sense the internal atmosphere of the company. Their role is crucial in bringing your company’s mission to life.

Mind

What is the mind for you? 

The exciting thing is that it shapes your reality. It observes, shapes, plans and analyzes. It asks questions, recognizes challenges, develops strategies and finds solutions. It interprets emotions and can regulate them, guided by your soul and with the help of your body.

In the company

Your strategic and operational management acts as the ”mind” of your company. It processes information provided by employees and transforms the corporate vision and mission into concrete strategies. It is their job to perceive and interpret internal and external signals and make decisions to keep your company on course.

Soul

What does the soul mean to you? 

It houses your deepest values and intuitions. As a lighthouse, it guides your body and mind. It represents your true self and reminds you of your essence. It is the resting point within you and does not judge, but guides and inspires you—with compassion and curiosity.

In the company

Your normative management forms the “soul” of your company. This is where vision, values and mission are formed. This core defines the “why” behind every action and gives your company authenticity. A company that acts in harmony with this essence achieves sustainable, healthy and holistic success.
