Card sorts are a powerful tool to use with clients individually, or in groups. Their innate flexibility and interactivity can lead to more meaningful communication between counsellor and client.

The card sorts that we sell are very different to the usual offerings that tend to focus on skills or interests. Published by Innovative Resources, we are proud to be a re-seller. Based on the Chaos theory of Careers (Pryor and Bright, 2003; Bright and Pryor 2005) we use these cards to develop the true 21st century employability skills of openness, flexibility, optimism and creativity and show you how with brochures designed exclusively by Bright and Associates to show you how these great card sets can be used in Career Development. We use these cards in our training with great success, and they are a fantastic way of following up with clients after using the Complexity Perception Index and the Luck Readiness Index (goto these tests)

Change by Design uses questions to challenge us to think about how we can enact shared leadership in our groups, teams, organisations and companies. It is a great tool for keeping fairness alive in the way we participate and include others in any process of change. It recognises that change happens best when those who are affected are given the opportunity to let their leadership qualities shine. It also recognises that leadership does not come automatically with a particular position, but rather, leadership is a shared responsibility and can be brought to the change process by anyone, at any time.

Contained in the images are subtle suggestions for hope and light.Publisher Innovative Resources.
