dc.abstract.plThis article begins with a reflective account of George Kelly’s profound influence on the authors’ thinking and practice, aligning closely with the central theme of this collection. We illustrate the personal impact of Kelly’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’s theory by grounding it in lived experience while highlighting its broader implications for understanding human sensemaking and behavior. Next, drawing on Kelly’s biography and his Personal Construct Theory (PCT), the article examines his contributions to understanding sensemaking through a systematic and epistemological lens. Kelly’s PCT does not merely offer a theory but provides a comprehensive framework for inquiry – one that bridges qualitative and quantitative methodologies and emphasizes the dynamic interplay between constructs, validation, and identity. Kelly’s epistemology redefines knowledge creation as an iterative, construct­driven 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’s legacy as a bridge between theory and practice, enabling a richer understanding of both personal and organizational dynamics.
