Introducing the Knowdell Card Sorts

The Knowdell Card Sorts are powerful, creative, and flexible tools you can use to help your coachee gain awareness, and make better decisions so they can navigate their career transition and development, with more confidence, ease, and self-awareness. In the process, helping them overcome any fear, confusion, indecision, or desperation they may be experiencing.

The card sorts and framework have stood the test of time and have been developed and used all over the world since Dr. Richard “Dick” Knowdell created them in 1977. There are 4 different card sorts developed that we will teach to you. We are excited and happy to offer these tools here in the Philippines!

Flexible and Robust Coaching Framework

We will teach you an easy to use, yet powerful Career Coaching Framework to assist and accelerate the progress of your coachees and clients. There are 4 steps you need to be aware of to guide your client through so that they can more confidently and decisively choose the best way moving forward for themselves.

This framework has been developed and streamlined in the many years that Dick Knowdell, and other JCTC Certified Coaches, have been using it to coach and support people undergoing career transition, and even career development.
