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):

E-learning required to unlock
-
Thinkers complete the My Journey modules to unlock HBDI® Digital.
-

-
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.
