One person is lying on their back with their legs raised and crossed against a white wall with a textured surface. Only the legs are visible, clad in blue jeans and bare feet with red painted toenails. The person is Darina Dreke—one of the two founders of UNBLEND. — We cannot create a new future,
by holding on to the emotions of the past.

Dr. Joe Dispenza

Before we start, I would like to share that I strongly believe that a true and deep connection and trust is only possible when we meet on a personal level—even in a corporate environment. I therefore invite you to join me and am delighted that you are here—whether as an individual or a company.

What can I tell you about myself as a human being?

I am a value-oriented person and appreciate deep, authentic relationships. Superficiality and pure small talk are not my style. I value an open exchange and a conversation at eye level. When I ask you how you’re doing, I mean it. Because regardless of our professional and private roles and the associated responsibilities and challenges, we are first and foremost human beings—with emotions, needs and vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, I love nature in all its forms. I am enthusiastic, cultivate my inner diversity and rely heavily on my intuition. I appreciate the value of theory, but I am a woman of practice. My three life values; love, growth and balance are my compass.

Love.

For me, love is the driving spirit that connects everything. It enables true understanding, compassion and connection—not only to others, but also to myself. Love is the key that helps me to grow and find balance. It is my source of energy and my guidance in difficult times.

Growth.

For me, growth is a process to deeper self-understanding and inner peace. It enables me to learn from experience and develop further. Love gives me strength in this process and the understanding for myself and others. Growth needs challenges, but also quiet moments in order to be true.

Balance.

For me, balance is the equilibrium between activity and tranquillity. It arises through loving growth and teaches me to live consciously. In this balance, I find my way in harmony with myself, my values and the world around me. It helps me to create harmony in my life.

Me, myself & I.

What can I tell you about myself as a coach?

As an Emotional Intelligence Coach, I understand you as an individual or a company.

From external expectations to inner freedom

My own path led me from a life that was strongly characterized by external expectations to a deep understanding of the correlation between body, mind and soul. For a long time, both privately and professionally, I lived according to fixed patterns and beliefs that I was able to perceive and cognitively reflect on, but not change. It was only during my studies abroad that I experienced a liberating lightness that I missed back in Germany. I wanted to permanently integrate this feeling of inner freedom into my life. A key experience with my newborn son seven years later was the trigger that began my personal coaching journey, that enabled me to dive deeper into my emotions and my inner reality.

Personal transformation: the backbone of my coaching philosophy

Six years have since passed and I have rediscovered my inner-energy, strength, and a primal sense of trust through intensive coaching and bodywork. This deep self-awareness has had a lasting effect on me: I learned to perceive, regulate and lead my inner world and as a result, my outer world changed positively. My goal is to pass this experience on to others.

Connecting different worlds: My role as a coach

In my ten years of experience in the agency industry, I have learned to act as a bridge builder between different worlds and perspectives. These skills are an integral part of my coaching practice. I combine my understanding of business dynamics with my personal development as an emotional intelligence coach. As a former department and team leader who has worked with diverse teams, clients and service providers, I use this experience to ask targeted questions, uncover inconsistencies and support you as a company in your development.

Creating change together

Let’s start this exciting journey together to create personal, business and societal change. With my many years of experience and deep understanding of Emotional Intelligence, I am your trusted and supportive companion on this journey.

Authenticity

For me, authenticity is the courage to be natural and intuitive. I live and work according to these principles. As a coach, I encourage you to trust your inner voice and to discover and live according to your true nature. Authenticity is the basis for an honest and deep relationship—with yourself and others.

Clarity

Achieving clarity in thoughts and actions is an essential part of my work as a coach. I help you to achieve your personal and business goals with presence, ease and professionalism. We will work together to bring clarity to your life or your company and enable you to make conscious and purposeful decisions.

Empathy

For me, empathy is more than just a value – it’s an attitude. As a coach, I bring curiosity, understanding, a keen sense of intuition and genuine compassion to our sessions. I want to support you in better understanding yourself and others. This empathic connection will allow us to discover new paths together that meet your needs and goals.
