Aldric Marshall

As a professional motivational speaker and inspirational coach, Aldric Marshall has risen to acclaim by delivering his high-energy message that adversity can’t stop a winner, it only makes people hunger for the right moves and live up to their full potential. It is a message Aldric Marshall has learned from his own life, and one he is helping others apply to their lives.
Born in low-income Riviera Beach and raised in West Palm Beach, Florida, Aldric was the youngest of three children. When Aldric was 7 years old, his father moved out and he was left to be raised by his mother, Mrs. Elois Marshall. Mrs. Marshall was a single woman who worked very hard to provide for her three children on a single income. As a young boy Aldric, not letting childhood adversities stop him, was deemed a slow learner and placed in a slow learning disability class. The label and the stigma stayed with him for years. Graduating high school with a 2.0 GPA and recognizing the path he was on, Aldric set out to change his situation. However, it took several years to overcome and break the label that was placed on him by teachers, faculty and friends.

After high school, Aldric set off to aim high in the Air Force and become an aircraft electrical system specialist, only to be kicked out three weeks into the program because he was unable to pass the aptitude test, another haunting adversity from the past. Not willing to have that learning disability stigma placed back on him, he landed a job at Pratt and Whitney in the scrap yard separating metals. That’s where he found his passion for reading and learning. After being promoted to aircraft parts inspector he was laid off because of cutbacks. Several jobs later he decided to return to school to obtain his barber’s license and quickly became one of South Florida’s top barbers with seasonal celebrity clients such as Deion Sanders, Horace Grant, Jimmy Spencer, and the list goes on.

Aldric had avoided school for years after his high school episode, but with persistence and determination and a will to learn he received his realtor’s license, completed mortgage broker school, joined the Toastmasters speaking organization, graduated Dale Carnegie training, and became a self taught Foreign Exchange trader. At the age of 34 he enrolled in Palm Beach Atlantic University and graduated with a 3.8 GPA. Aldric initiated a continuing process of unending education which has distinguished him as an audience captivator, motivator and inspirational speaker with authority on harnessing human potential. Aldric Marshall’s passion to learn and his hunger to realize greatness in himself and others helped him to achieve greatness. He rose from being a kid with a learning disability and low self-esteem to becoming a three-time business owner, a husband, a father, and a community leader. Aldric’s philosophy is that if he can help people obtain their passion, tap into their potential and overcome adversity then his living was not in vain.
