About
From Survival to Flourishing
I'm Dr. Rodney King but everyone calls me 'Coach', and I've spent a lifetime mastering the art of survival and teaching others to harness their primal instincts. My journey has taken me from the battlefield to the boardroom, working with special forces military operators, law enforcement officers, close protection members, and individuals from all walks of life.
​
In a world where our ancestral hardwiring often clashes with contemporary demands, I’ve discovered that the key to thriving lies in embracing and transforming our instincts, not suppressing them. Our brains and bodies, evolved to flourish in the wild, now navigate a vastly different landscape. This tension between our primal nature and the artificial environment we inhabit can lead to inner turmoil and distress.
​
My mission is to help you or your team bridge this gap. Through individual guided sessions, team workshops, and immersive retreats, I provide the tools and insights needed to achieve balance, resilience, and clarity. My Mindful-Warrior approach delves into the core of our survival instincts, transforming them into a powerful catalyst for personal and professional flourishing.
​
Join me on this journey to unlock your true potential and find equilibrium in an ever-changing world. Together, we will explore the intersection of ancient instincts and modern living, empowering you to thrive in the concrete jungle and beyond.

More About
Coach Rodney
As an Ecopsychologist, Mindful-Leadership Expert, and internationally recognised martial arts teacher based on the Isle of Man, my life's work is encapsulated in the philosophy of 'Rediscovering The Transformative Power Lying Dormant in Our Survival Instincts.' I delve into the confluence of Nature’s Intelligence, Ancestral Knowing, and Primal Skills Mastery, guiding individuals through a transformative journey that intertwines ancient wisdom with the challenges of the modern world.
My unique approach extends beyond physical self-preservation skills, embodying a holistic path that fosters mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. This journey is about awakening the primal strength that lies dormant within us all. Through this training, individuals not only learn to protect themselves, but also reconnect with their innate resilience and wisdom, drawing from the same well of strength that empowered our ancestors.
With a Doctorate from the University of Leicester's School of Business, my research intersects mindfulness, embodiment, and effective leadership. My academic endeavors also include a Master's in Leading Innovation and Change from York St. John University, and a significant background in psychology. As an Ecopsychologist with a Master of Science in Nature Connectedness: Health Psychology from De Montfort University (UK), my commitment is to reforge humanity's bond with nature, an integral part of our ancestral heritage.
A recognised Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, the Institute of Leadership, and the Institute of Strategic Risk Management, I also serve on the Advisory Council board of the Transformative Leadership in Disruptive Times Certificate at Seton Hall University's Stillman School of Business. My expertise has been sought by organizations such as Google, Airbnb, and Singapore Airlines. However, it is in the personal 1:1 guided coaching sessions where I find the most profound transformations occur, as each individual embarks on a journey to unleash their inner warrior, aligning their life rhythms with those of the natural world for personal growth and an innate sense of well-being.
