There is no doubt about the ascendance of technology and the shift in how we live and work. Many of us are facing the reality of fewer available jobs. But in uncertain times, we still have choices - and 'Work it Out!' helps us figure them out. This seminar is brimful with practical ideas, techniques and soul searching exercises.

A challenging and thought-provoking approach for anyone looking for a career change or for anyone in the process of thinking about a career portfolio and achieving more satisfaction out of working and playing. I would recommend 'Work it Out!'.

'Work it Out!' offers an alternative to the traditional view of work life balance. I would recommend 'Work it Out!' to anyone looking to take personal responsibility for their income generation and who finds the competitive and solitary model of `self employment' off putting.

The first thing that becomes apparent about 'Work it Out!' is its practability. Des McCabe has a vast knowledge of the world of self development and training. 'Work it Out!' will help many people to get more out of themselves and their life and help them make a greater contribution.

'Work it Out!' opens your mind to new possibilities and highlights that we need to find out what we want and then start building how we can achieve this, rather than trawling websites to see if someone wants what we have to offer.
- J.Smith (London), Money Advice Trust
Brilliant! Three words came to mind about Des McCabe's 'Work it Out!' 'fresh, exciting and real'. I thoroughly recommend 'Work it Out!' for those who are stuck... in a JOB looking for a way out, or without a JOB looking for a way in and everyone who is wandering between and not sure how to make sense of the journey. Des McCabe has drawn THE map of the new world of work and it's a pretty useful one.
