🎙️ NEW EPISODE | Discovering Your Mission with Dr. Mordecai Featuring Dr. CharMaine Hines

What are the hidden costs of leadership?

In the latest episode of Discovering Your Mission, Dr. Mordecai sits down with Dr. CharMaine Hines, Vice Chancellor of Academic Accountability and Policy and author of Voices of Women of Color Community College CEOs, for a powerful conversation about leadership, resilience, representation, and purpose.

Throughout the discussion, Dr. Hines shares insights from her research and personal journey, offering a candid look at the realities many leaders navigate behind the scenes. From the "hidden curriculum" of executive leadership to the emotional weight of representation, this conversation challenges listeners to think more deeply about what leadership truly requires.

One of the most powerful moments comes when Dr. Hines discusses the pressure some leaders feel knowing that their success or failure may influence opportunities for those who follow them.

💭 "My vision is that ten years from now this book reads as a historical account of what we overcame rather than a recurring warning."

This episode is a reminder that leadership is not simply about position or authority. It is about courage, service, purpose, and creating pathways for others to succeed.
