The FFCA DiSC Model, Ikigai & The Power of Kintsugi are more than just training—they offer a truly transformational experience that helps you become more self-aware, boost your emotional intelligence, and lead with purpose. Running live from October 14th through November 15th, 2026, this five-week program beautifully combines the science of DiSC with the timeless Japanese philosophy of Ikigai and the art of Kintsugi. Together, they create a meaningful journey, guiding leaders to embrace their special gifts, mend fractures with gold, and inspire others through genuine authenticity. Instead of just lectures or passive learning, each session is an immersive adventure. You’ll not only discover your Ikigai—your reason for being—but also see how trauma, resilience, and lived experiences influence your connections with others. Through the inspiring perspective of Kintsugi, you’ll learn that what has been broken can actually become the source of your beauty, wisdom, and leadership strength.
Led by Dr. James C. Rodríguez, MSW, CADC, an inspiring international speaker and creator of the Advanced Practitioner Credential™, this program beautifully blends the power of behavioral science with healing-centered approaches. Each week, you're warmly welcomed into a lively, interactive space where practice, coaching, and connecting with peers are more important than just theory. There are no recordings or shortcuts—just the magic of being present in this unique moment, ichi-go ichi-e, a once-in-a-lifetime encounter. This isn’t just about earning a credential; it’s about leaving with a fresh story, a renewed sense of purpose, and practical tools to help others flourish. Join us for this truly transformative experience and take the oar to steer your next level of leadership.
Discover How Far You Can Go
There’s a special point in each of our lives when we’re gently encouraged to go beyond what we thought was possible. It’s that moment when holding onto the familiar no longer feels right, and we find the courage to grab the oar, set sail, and explore new waters. At Fathers and Families Coalition of America (FFCA), this isn’t just a beautiful metaphor. It’s the heart of what we do. Every program we create—every training, gathering, and certification—is dedicated to supporting you as you embark on your own journey of discovery.
