ABOUT COACH KING

coach-king.png

I'm Dr. Rodney King,founder of Coaching Philsophia. I am a certified  philosophical counselor (APPA), accredited Fellow Coach (IAPC&M) and scholar dedicated to helping people rediscover their natural capacity for flourishing. My approach to Philosophical Coaching could be described as 'Natural Wisdom.' A unique approach that combines timeless human wisdom and lived philosophy with contemporary understanding, guiding clients toward clarity, purpose, and authentic living.

With over two decades of experience spanning academia, martial arts instruction, and transformative coaching, I've developed a methodology that bridges wisdom traditions with modern challenges. My doctoral research in mindful-embodied leadership, combined with extensive work in nature-based therapy and the science of human flourishing, has shown me that our greatest resource lies in reconnecting with our fundamental human capacities.

As such my approach 'Natural Wisdom' emerged from a simple observation: our ancestors navigated life's complexities without modern self-help tools, accessing instead an intuitive understanding of how to live well. Today, I help clients rediscover this innate wisdom while developing four essential pillars of human flourishing: calmness, presence, focus and resilience.

Why Work With Me

Life isn't about avoiding challenges, it's about meeting them with natural wisdom and authentic purpose.

 

My coaching offers:

  • A systematic approach to accessing your innate wisdom and capabilities

  • Integration of a lived philosophical approach that is both practical, with actionable strategies

  • Evidence-based methods for developing lasting resilience and well-being

  • Clear pathways to translate insights into meaningful life changes

I'm committed to helping you create a life that resonates with your deepest truth, one where clarity replaces confusion, purpose supersedes uncertainty, and authentic living becomes natural rather than aspirational.

 

When I'm not coaching, I remain actively engaged in researching, writing and teaching about philosophy as a lived experience. My mission is to help others rediscover their fundamental capacity for flourishing in our chaotic modern world.

EXPERIENCE

Trusted by seekers across industries and cultures.


From Fortune 500 executives to emerging creatives, I’ve walked alongside clients navigating complexity, leadership, and meaning-making in the modern world. My work on human flourishing has quietly supported global innovators like Google, Airbnb, Facebook, and Singapore Airlines—organizations exploring how real wellbeing and wise leadership can coexist where performance is expected.

Because when people feel seen, grounded, and clear, the work they do becomes more than just output, it becomes an expression of who they truly are.
