The egLearning Library: From Purchase to Participation

Today I am cracking the code of the egLearning Library. While Emergenetics practitioners may have heard of our five virtual courses, the benefits and applications may not be as familiar to some. So, let’s take the egLearning Library step-by-step and uncover its purpose, the why, how, who and what ifs behind it as well as gain insight into each of the courses.  

The Course Catalog  

As I mentioned, the egLearning Library consists of five self-directed eLearning courses:  

• Ignite Your Preferences 
• Learn to Flex: Behaving to Improve Rapport 
• Learn to Flex: Thinking to Build Connection 
• Cultivating Culture Through the Language of Grace 
• Hone Your Habits: Managing Stress 

Each course is available for purchase with unlimited access for one year and is accompanied by a course companion that Associates can use to maximize learning and comprehension with participants. Details on the curriculum is featured below.  

Why is the egLearning Library valuable?

The courses are an extension of the learning from receiving an individual debrief or partaking in the Emergenetics essential workshops – The Meeting of the Minds and Team Dynamics for Small Groups. Through the digital courses, individuals engage with the nuances of the seven Attributes, so they can reinforce their understanding of themselves, understand the viewpoints of others and get specific guidance to improve collaboration to work more effectively. Expanding a participant’s knowledge helps boost productivity as well as reduce conflict and miscommunication. 

How do I find the egLearning Library?

Associates can locate the egLearning Library in the “My Courses” tab on Emergenetics+. You can purchase and assign individual licenses directly on the portal. For organizations with large employee populations, I encourage you to consider an Enterprise license, which is the most cost-effective way to broaden the reach of the program.  

It’s important to note that the “My Courses” section differs from the “My Library” resources. While they may sound similar, “My Library” is where free training materials, Attributes in Action guides and marketing materials are available.  

Who can benefit from the courses?

Anyone who has an Emergenetics Profile is a good fit. From my experience, I find it’s especially useful for:  

• Teams who have completed an essential workshop and want more training to improve communication and collaboration 
• Personnel who took a questionnaire months or years before and are looking to reignite their Emergenetics learnings 
• Leaders seeking knowledge to better guide their workforce and cultivate a positive culture 
• Managers who are looking for insights and applications to motivate and engage their direct reports 
• One-on-one coaching clients 

What possibilities do the courses unlock?

One element that I love about the egLearning Library is the freedom it gives to Associates to customize and build new learning opportunities. Practitioners can select a course that aligns to the needs of their stakeholders or mix and match classes that together target a workplace challenge. These programs can support a blended learning model by serving as a great primer before a follow-on workshop or as a post-session class to empower individuals or groups to apply their learnings in everyday life. 

Details of the egLearning Library 

Below are in-depth explanations of each course as well as my personal guidance on how the programs can best support your learners. 

1. Ignite your Preferences

Illuminates the brilliances and common misconceptions of each of our Attributes. It amplifies participants’ self-awareness as well as helps them understand how their preferences (or another person’s preferences) may influence their work and interactions with others.  

I recommend this course for teams that have colleagues who tend to think and behave differently from one another. It can also be beneficial to employees and departments who frequently work cross-functionally.  

2. Learn to Flex: Behaving to Improve Rapport 

Supports skill building in the art of flexing and teaches participants about the five most common Behavioral combinations. Behaviors are often what people notice first and can be sources of friction when they are not well understood. By diving into these preferences, teams can improve their teamwork and overall productivity.  

If you are noticing tension within a team or across work styles, this offering is a great way to open conversations around those challenges. I find that the class tends to resonate with visual learners since there are more whimsical activities as well as anyone seeking to spot the differences between each third of the behaviors, which can be particularly useful for Associates and managers.  

3. Learn to Flex: Thinking to Build Connection 

Empowers individuals to make connections with the Thinking Attributes through the power of cognitive diversity. Cognitive diversity is a leading contributor to a team’s capacity to innovate, problem solve and work through communication gaps. 

I recommend this course for employees who want to understand their Least Preferred Thinking Attribute and improve communication. Learn to Flex: Thinking to Build Connection is great to pair with the Behavior course list above. Using both allows participants to fully interpret and integrate the seven Emergenetics Attributes into their work and lean into the benefits of each as well as ease the tensions that may arise as a result of cognitive diversity.   

4. Cultivating Culture Through the Language of Grace 

Teaches an important element of Emergenetics, which is the Language of Grace. The culture course is the perfect opportunity to practice using positive language. The course empowers staff inside an organization to use a common language and can help individuals elevate the way they communicate. 

If your stakeholders are seeking to build better work relationships, especially between managers and direct reports, it’s a good option for learning. This session is ideal for whole departments and teams to maximize the effects of using affirmative speech.  

5. Hone Your Habits: Managing Stress

Provides resources and templates for participants to use their Thinking and Behavioral preferences to their advantage during times of tension. The class identifies indicators of stress and actionable solutions through the Attributes. 

Hone Your Habits: Managing Stress is an exceptional activity for a virtual corporate retreat, for teams experiencing high volumes of work and newly appointed managers as they prepare to take on new and perhaps scratchy responsibilities.  

Our self-paced learning experiences encourage anyone with an Emergenetics Profile to better use their strengths, appreciate the differences in others and apply the Attributes to work positively and productively with their colleagues. Using Emergenetics as a cornerstone, companies can solidify the foundation of an inclusive, engaging and motivating workplace.
