	abstract = {This article begins with a~reflective account of George Kelly{\textquoteright}s profound influence on the authors{\textquoteright} thinking and practice, aligning closely with the central theme of this collection. We illustrate the personal impact of Kelly{\textquoteright}s ideas, demonstrating how his work not only reshapes the theore tical approaches of researchers but also profoundly influences their personal development. This starting point for the paper introduces readers to Kelly{\textquoteright}s theory by grounding it in lived experience while highlighting its broader implications for understanding human sensemaking and behavior.
Next, drawing on Kelly{\textquoteright}s biography and his Personal Construct Theory (PCT), the article examines his contributions to understanding sensemaking through a~systematic and epistemological lens. Kelly{\textquoteright}s PCT does not merely offer a~theory but provides a~comprehensive framework for inquiry {\textendash} one that bridges qualitative and quantitative methodologies and emphasizes the dynamic interplay between constructs, validation, and identity. Kelly{\textquoteright}s epistemology redefines knowledge creation as an iterative, construct-driven process of sensemaking.
This article underscores the transformative potential of Personal Construct Psychology (PCP) for applications in counselling, coaching, and organizational contexts. In conclusion, we offer Kelly{\textquoteright}s legacy as a~bridge between theory and practice, enabling a~richer understanding of both personal and organizational dynamics.},
