Meet Dr. Shaun Woodly | Speaker, Educator, Author & Staff Development Expert

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Shaun Woodly and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Shaun, every day, we hear about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
Teach Hustle Inspire is the result of my desire for change in education. It has evolved over the course of many years of immersion, dedication, and my commitment to making a difference in urban and culturally diverse classrooms. It started from my work as a classroom educator, turned college professor and consultant. I started my podcast by the same name, where I focus on supporting schools that serve urban and culturally diverse communities, specifically as it relates to classroom management and student engagement. Whenever I consult or speak to educators I always try to make sure that what we are learning is not just relevant, but fun. I brought that same energy to my podcast and got a lot of really good feedback and the brand of Teach Hustle Inspire started to take off. Teach Hustle Inspire is not just a logo, or a saying – it’s an altogether movement! TEACH means to “unlock intellectual treasure”, HUSTLE means that we “can’t stop learning, won’t stop learning” and INSPIRE is all about how we “spread love and light”.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am an author, speaker, and staff development expert that specializes in helping educators absolutely flourish in the classroom! My goal is to challenge the norm of teacher training and services, while always informing, inspiring, and motivating! I work very hard to equip educators with the tools to capitalize on their own strengths to perform to their greatest potential and beyond, all in an effort to promote the highest levels of student achievement. I do this with specialized consulting, workshops, services, training and coaching at the building and district level. This was something that I “failed” at many times before I saw success, but I never saw those “failures” as a reason to stop. It just meant that I needed to try something different. I did that over and over again until I began to see the results hoped for. Not only did I see the results, I was looking for, but that process of discovery taught me so much more about education, entrepreneurship and altogether personal growth.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Although Teach Hustle Inspire resonates mostly with educators, truth be told, if you’ve ever mentored, lead, coached, parented, inspired, or motivated someone, you are a teacher – plain and simple! I believe this is why it has grown so much because it is so relatable. To the dedicated educators, mentors, role models, counselors, leaders and beyond who motivate and teach the children of our future – this movement is for you!
