Nationwide — Rodney C. Flowers, an African American scholar from southern Maryland who is also known as “Professor X,” is a proud Spring 2025 initiate of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, that has officially advanced to doctoral candidacy in Transpersonal Psychology at Gateway University. His story is so inspirational because he was previously in a wheelchair for 18 years and has since learned how to walk again. Even more, after he finishes his doctoral candidacy, he will have earned his third college degree.
This significant academic milestone, alongside his recent fraternal induction, is actively leveraged to develop, validate, and deepen the profound intellectual and experiential foundation of his transformative “Lead Like a Lion” framework, empowering individuals and organizations to unlock their full potential and lead with purpose.
The moniker “Professor X,” a title placed upon him by the brotherhood, resonates deeply with his intellectual pursuits and commitment to guiding others and is now further enriched by his recent initiation into Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. This esteemed brotherhood, renowned for its legacy of scholarship, leadership, and service to humanity, perfectly aligns with Rodney’s dedication to both academic rigor and impactful guidance. His doctoral research in Transpersonal Psychology delves into areas of human potential, holistic well-being, and consciousness beyond the ordinary ego, providing a unique academic lens for his work.
“My recent initiation into Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., coupled with my advancement to doctoral candidacy, signifies a powerful convergence of purpose and preparation,” states Flowers. “My doctoral studies are not just an academic pursuit; they are the crucible in which the ‘Lead Like a Lion’ framework, the ‘Find Your ROAR’ actionable steps, and the ‘Join the Pride’ principles are being rigorously developed and validated. As ‘Professor X,’ I am driven to explore the profound psychological and spiritual mechanisms that fuel true Leadership, Innovation, Optimism, and Nurturing—the core pillars of my LION framework. This integrated journey allows me to provide evidence-based pathways for individuals and teams to ‘Find Their ROAR’ and become the most authentic, powerful versions of themselves within their ‘Pride.’”
Flowers’ suite of offerings provides a comprehensive approach to personal and professional mastery, encompassing:
• “Lead Like a Lion” (The Vision): The foundational book outlining the LION framework.
• “Find Your ROAR” (The Transformation): A signature program and workbook that provides actionable steps for individuals to discover and cultivate their unique strengths and LION archetypes.
• “Join the Pride” (The Community/Organizational Solutions): A supportive network built on the LION PRIDE principles (Purpose, Resilience, Innovation, Determination, and Excellence), fostering collective strength and ongoing growth while being adaptable for organizational training and development.
His personal experience navigating an incomplete spinal cord injury further imbues his teachings with unparalleled authenticity and resilience, making him a living testament to the principles he espouses. This unique blend of lived wisdom, academic authority, and a powerful, integrated brand positions Rodney as a truly exceptional voice in the fields of leadership development, personal empowerment, and transpersonal growth.
Rodney is currently developing his Lead Like a Lion book and signature “Find Your ROAR” program, with plans for future workshops, speaking engagements, organizational training sessions, and community-building initiatives under the “Join the Pride” banner.
