“One key to knowing joy is to be easily pleased.” – Mark Nepo, Author of The Book of Awakening

If you have not heard, Dick Knowdell, International Career Leader, Card Sort, and JCTC Coach Certificate Developer passed on December 13.

He impacted millions within the career development field as a career coaching innovator. Known for his Card Sorts (Motivated Skills, Career Values, Leisure/Retirement, Occupational Interests, and Career Development & Job Search Profile), the Career Planning Network, and JOURNAL of Career Planning and Adult Development, he was recognized for creating easy-to-use products and practitioner training worldwide.

 

You can read the full announcement and life celebration by Dr. Rich Feller here and view an interview with Dick about his major contributions to career development here. For those who wish, please write a short tribute (by 1/5/22) to be compiled within a Dick Knowdell Memorial Book and email it to Rich.Feller@colostate.edu.


While I reflect on the great impact Dick had on our field, I’m also reminded of the difference each of you makes every day. You are making this same impact on your network and your clients.

Many of you have shared increased difficulties within your organizations, with challenging customers, and with personal and family issues this year. My hope for you in 2022 is that your brilliance continues to shine and change the world one happy career at a time. It is in the dark that these lights are needed the most.

I also hope you’ll have time during this holiday season to relax and replenish your light. I can’t wait to see what 2022 will bring for you!
