Practitioner | My Journey: what it is and how to offer it | Reference

Audience: Certified Practitioners
Summary: My Journey is a self-paced learning path in the Herrmann Platform that teaches Whole Brain® Thinking and guides Thinkers through an HBDI® debrief experience. You can use it on its own or alongside a CP led session.


Why offer My Journey?

  • Scales Whole Brain® basics without scheduling constraints

  • Frees CP time for applications, facilitation, and coaching

  • Provides Thinkers with anytime, anywhere learning and ongoing access


Two delivery options (choose one per invitation):

  1. E-learning required to unlock

    • Thinkers complete the My Journey modules to unlock HBDI® Digital.

  2. Unlock via code

    • You provide an unlock code (Thinkers can still complete modules; unlocking isn’t required).

Keep one option per invitation to avoid cohort confusion.


What Thinkers experience in My Journey:

A sequenced set of 8 micro-modules (with an optional 9th for sharing) that cover:

  • Whole Brain® basics (model, science, clue-spotting)

  • My HBDI® results (modes, clusters, under-pressure shifts)

  • Applying my results (thinking agility, descriptors, energy, intro/extraversion)

  • Personalize & share (optional)

Format: short videos, interactive exercises, and guided reflections.
Accessibility: videos include sound, closed captions, and full transcripts (EN/FR/DE/zh-Hans).


What the Thinker sees:

  • Thinker Portal → My Journey tile

  • Clear progress indicators; each step unlocks the next at 100%

  • HBDI® results unlock either through module completion or via code, depending on your invitation setting


How to set it up (Invitations): 

  • When creating an invitation, choose one access path:

    • E-learning required to unlock, or

    • Unlock via code (you’ll share the code at the right time)

  • All Thinkers in that invitation inherit the same option.


Track progress & manage access:

  • Search For → Thinkers: open a single Thinker to view progress or unlock individually.

  • Invitations → “E-learning Progress”: see progress for all Thinkers in that invitation.

  • Admins can also unlock via the Thinkers tab (per person).

Note: Unlocks are permanent. Results cannot be re-locked.


Common practitioner questions:

Can I offer both paths at once?
Yes, across different invitations. Use one option per invitation.

Will past Thinkers get access to My Journey?
Yes. If someone completed HBDI® before the current system, Support can help align their records.

How long does My Journey take?
Typical total 90–120 minutes, self-paced. Many See full results by ~45 minutes if using the e-learning path.

If I unlock early, can Thinkers still use the modules?
Yes. They can continue and revisit any time.
