PowerPoint Instructions for Knowdell Career Values Card Sort
Career satisfaction and success is very much dependent on your work and work environment being in-line (congruent) with your personal career values.
Yet most people don't know this.
For example, if one of your career values is "Honesty and Integrity," but the place you work at demands you do things you consider unethical or dishonest, you won't be happy in that job and you probably won't be successful there.
Values are the beliefs that come from our core. They are deeply embedded within each of us. Knowing your values is one of the keys to building a great career.
With the Knowdell Career Values Card Sort, you can identify and clarify your values in 5 minutes.
Hello Dick Knowdell,
I just wanted to thank you for inventing the skills and values card sorts, and for making the online versions available to us career coaches. I just used both online card sorts with a remote career coaching client who was sending me all sorts of mixed signals.
My client is capable of doing many different types of jobs, and with her multiple degrees and linguistic abilities is also capable of living in any number of countries, which she had done previously. She was torn between the extremes of working for a large corporation in a foreign country, or staying closer to home, opening a coffee shop and taking care of her aging parents.
The Motivated Skills deck showed both of us exactly which skills she preferred using. The values card deck showed that the most important things in her life were family, and work life balance. Achieving a high level position, career success and being a big shot in a corporation were not her values. So, after using the online card sorts, the answer became clear to my client. I didn't have to say anything. Her new career direction was that obvious.
These are amazing tools. Thanks for creating them.
