Dates: 14/15 March 2026
Venue: Athens
This workshop has been created following an invitation from Elpida Trizi and Wonder Works
She says:
Having done many trainings, throughout my corporate career and beyond, Leadership Embodiment with Paul King, sits amongst my favorites and most insightful. It unfolds with profound simplicity and depth, allowing the learning to emerge from what our bodies convey, in an unforced way, and how we show up with each other. This is so needed, as our presence speaks volumes and actually precedes our words. If you are a leader in any capacity, whether in an organizational role, as a trainer or coach, this is a rare, bold and precious opportunity to learn from the felt and shared experience with others. Paul creates a safe and supportive space, gently inviting you to connect with your deeper patterns, truths and resources. To be curious about what is going on, with no intention of fixing, correcting or “prescribing”. His approach is grounded, intuitive and delightful. The insights I carried home have had lasting meaning and impact in my interactions. I cannot recommend this enough!”
The workshop presents the Leadership Embodiment Level 1 practices and approaches developed by Wendy Palmer plus some associated ideas and practices. I was the first person in Europe that Wendy certified to teach this work and have been doing since 2008. The leadership we are talking about starts with self-awareness and self-leadership.
You will learn the power of centering under pressure, finding balance in challenging circumstances, effective leadership and followership, focusing your energy, aligning body, heart and mind to your achieve your outcomes, and attuning to oneself and others to create better relationships.
Through various non-strenuous activities and practices you will learn about your habitual patterns of behaving and thinking, and develop alternatives, including ways to respond to the incoming pressures of life from a place of ‘centre’ rather than from your judgements and fears. This workshop works with the integrated, instinctive and intuitive intelligence within you; an exploration of your soma – the mind, body, emotions and spirit in their interconnected wholeness.
I will draw upon martial arts, mindfulness practice, energy work, Feldenkrais, NLP and probably a little philosophy and physiology.
We will engage in conversation and simple ‘physical-mental’ exercises to explore:

“If I had budget for a single leadership training only I’d chose Leadership Embodiment with Paul. As a leadership development expert I got interested in neuroscience and with that in embodiment . I came across Wendy Palmer’s book and attended Paul’s Leadership Embodiment Session 1 in Vienna in June 2024 and was positively surprised how big of an influence body movements and posture have in confidence, resilience, calm and executive presence, Paul starts with raising self awareness and self leadership and only then moves on to leadership. I experienced him as incredibly supportive and charismatic in his calm reflective presence and of course he role played every tiny bit of what he teaches.”
Alexandra, Talent & Leadership expert, Vienna
“Paul King has a remarkably and highly-tuned intuitive grasp on how energy manifests itself through the way the body conveys what it is really experiencing and wanting to communicate. In his embodied work he lifts the overlay of social assumptions into letting one see what is really being said. In doing so he reminds us that, though we have language, the bodies of all mammals are intensely powerful in the way they communicate. The skills of understanding and responding to those messages get lost among allegedly civilised human beings, but Paul helps regain those skills for whoever has time to listen, time to hear, and wants to know.”
Paul Brown, Professor of Organisational Neuroscience at Monarch Business School Switzerland and co-author of, The Fear-Free Organization and Neuropsychology for Coaches.
“Paul is a master of somatics. Having studied the field for 25 years myself it’s not easy to find experts who can genuinely show me something new, but Paul is one of them. The weekend was insightful, quietly rigorous and we also had a lot of fun and laughter too!”
Liz Rivers, Leadership Coach
“It’s hard to put into words the deep level at which Paul’s teaching touched me. So I’m not going to try. And this is the point, because by tapping into what your body is telling both yourself and others, you can find an easy inner certainty that your over-worked brain can just sit back and admire.”
Chris Wood. Leadership Coach
“I found the Level 1 Leadership Embodiment workshop with Paul to be an extraordinarily powerful experience. I have taken part in many workshops and trainings over many years and Paul’s facilitation was exceptional. He brings a sensitivity and depth to the work that I had not anticipated, and this was transformational for me. I can already see the difference this is making to me in my life and work. I highly recommend this work with Paul to anyone who is curious about their own sense of presence in the context of leadership and life more broadly. This is important work and I plan to continue.”
Hazel Russo, Executive Coach
“The LE Level 1 training with Paul was an incredible learning experience that provided both a strong grounding with LE approaches and deep personal insights. Paul is clearly living what he teaches and his authenticity and the personal feedback was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend this training to any leaders or coaches that are looking to make shifts within their personal presence and their impact with others.”
