Biography

Paul Brodie is the President of BrodieEDU, an education consulting firm that specializes in the development of literacy programs, motivational seminars for universities and corporations, and wellness education. He also serves on the Board of Directors for the Leadership Development Council, Inc as the Executive Director of InspireEDU with leading the implementation of educational programming in commercial properties across the United States. Brodie also continues to serve as a Site Coordinator for the ASPIRE program in the Birdville Independent School District. As coordinator, he has created instructional and enrichment programming for over 600 students and 75 parents in the ASPIRE before and after school programs.

Previously, Brodie spent many years in the corporate world and decided to leave a lucrative career in the medical field to follow his passion and transitioned into education. From 2008 to 2011, he was a highly successful teacher in Arlington, TX where he taught English as a Second Language. Brodie turned a once struggling ESL program into one of the top programs in the city. Many of his students have moved on to journalism, AVID, art classes, and a number of the students exited the ESL program entirely. His methods included music, movies, graphic novels, and many high engagement methods including using technology, games, cultural celebrations, and getting parents involved in their children’s education. Brodie’s approach has been called unconventional but highly effective, revolutionary, and highly engaging.

Brodie earned an M.A. in Teaching from Louisiana College and B.B.A. in Management from the University of Texas at Arlington. He is in the process of writing his first book: Eat Less and Move More: My journey to losing 100 pounds without gimmicks. Brodie hopes the book will help those like himself that have had challenges with weight and the goal of the book is to promote not only weight loss but also health and wellness.

His seminars have been featured at leadership conferences across the United States since 2005. Brodie is active in professional organizations and within the community. He is also highly involved in The International Business Fraternity of Delta Sigma Pi and served as National Vice President – Organizational Development, Leadership Foundation Trustee, National Organizational Development Chair, and in many other roles since 2002. He resides in Arlington, TX.
