Our story
What Now? Coaches originated from a close-knit group of colleagues driven by a shared passion for exploring the concept of FLOW. What began as informal gatherings to share experiences and insights gradually evolved into a committed partnership between Chris and Leonor. Despite being geographically separated, their weekly digital meetings over more than a year fostered deep collaboration and friendship. The turning point came when Leonor had an opportunity to travel to Germany, affording the first opportunity for a face-to-face meeting with Chris. Chris, on the other hand, had to take a day off and catch a train, and he did it! Both took action, and they met in Munich. Amidst lively conversations and shared laughter in a café, the question of 'WHAT NOW?' emerged as a recurring theme, igniting the spark for this collaborative venture. Now, as What Now? Coaches, their mission is to guide and support individuals through life's uncertainties, empowering them to navigate with wisdom and purpose.
About Leonor
Leonor Amaral
Something about me... I love... I love experiencing body movements at the sound of beautiful music that speaks to my soul. I love traveling with my loved ones and experiencing new places and cultures to broaden my horizons. I love reading a book that expands my thinking and way of looking at the world, giving me the perspective and tools to live my journey consciously and meaningfully. My Coaching... My mission as a coach is to empower individuals to reach their fullest potential as whole beings. This involves developing self-efficacy, inner harmony, and excellence. My coaching approach is grounded in the principles of Flow, a state of optimal experience characterized by intense focus, deep engagement, and a sense of effortless action. Flow theory, pioneered by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, highlights the profound benefits of being in Flow for enhancing performance, creativity, and overall well-being. By integrating Flow principles into coaching, I help individuals unlock their full potential, harnessing their innate strengths and talents to sculpt a future filled with purpose and fulfillment. My coaching journey began during a profound life transformation. I was facing personal challenges during an emotionally heavy divorce and embracing professional paradigm shifts when experiencing burnout, and nothing seemed to make sense. I realized I needed to pause and take some time off to reset. Feeling lost and unfulfilled, I was questioning my choices so far and seeking to rediscover my purpose and give my life a new direction. That led me to coaching. First, it was a tool to work on myself. Then, it became a purpose - To help others cope with life challenges and support them in living their best versions, inspired by Eudaimonia principles. Personal Values.... The personal values I bring to my practice are honesty, fairness, curiosity, and a sincere love for human nature. Establishing a genuine and transparent connection with those I work with is a priority so that I can accompany them efficiently and meaningfully through their personal and/or professional development journeys. I believe every individual possesses a remarkable capacity that often surpasses their imagination.
About Chris
Chris Schorpp
I am the happiest in, on and under the water. Water gives me a deep feeling of being connected to life and all of it’s unforeseeable adventures. My purpose as your coach is to support you in flourishing beyond your comfort zone by showing you ways to know yourself well and thus using your maximum potential to lead a long and fulfilling life. I stumbled many times before this purpose came to be. I had to pay my dues with long stretches of fear and sadness that came and went and seemed to be totally out of my control. Out of desperation I tried all kinds of self-awareness and self-improvement methods looking for some form of “enlightenment”. Clarity came through the simplicity of nature, the love of people, and movement. And Flow. Being fully present in the here and now through the experience of surfing or freediving together with great people showed me the potential of Flow. The most optimal state of consciousness where things fall in place and seem easy. As a coach I am guided by a set of deep core values. Commitment helps me to support my client until they reached the milestone they wished for. Love as a value opens me up for the connection to my clients that I need to succeed. Trust in general and in people is the base of my coaching work. Trust opens doors that would otherwise be closed. I trust in the possibility that you have remarkable potential that can be unfolded anytime.
