Work it Out!

Welcome to Work It OutWork It Out is a practical, people-centred approach to helping individuals build their future in a rapidly changing world. Rather than focusing solely on jobs, qualifications, or traditional career paths, Work It Out helps people discover their strengths, build supportive relationships, develop meaningful workpieces, create opportunities, earn income, and move towards the life they want to live. At its heart, Work It Out is built on kindness, encouragement, collaboration, and the belief that nobody should be left behind. People do not work in isolation. They work together, supporting one another, sharing ideas, opening doors, and helping everyone succeed.

The Work it Out  Methodology

The 'Work it Out'  Methodology is a group development approach which is driven by the principles of inclusion, empowerment and responsibility for others. Recognising and building individual strengths, positivity, kindness and collaboration are at the heart of the Work it Out! methodology. 
 
Work it Out! programmes support career development, organisational effectiveness, enterprise development, inclusion and integration, community cohesion, culture change, problem solving, peace building, partnership working, etc.  Work It Out! with its acclaimed   Peer Group Working Methodology has delivered incredible outcomes for individuals in finding meaningful work, earning income, designing alternative career models, looking after each other and achieving all that is important to us. 

More than this though, Work it Out! is a highly effective inclusion and empowerment methodology to support the priorities of Businesses, Government Agencies and Local Councils. We work collaboratively to build innovative, bottom-up and effective organisations/networks of all sizes and types.
​
The application of  the Work it Out! Methodology is available wherever you are based. It offers new ways of bringing people together to leverage  their collective experience and expertise - to tackle poverty and disadvantage, harness potential, promote inclusion, improve profitability and drive economic growth.   Work it Out builds inclusion  inb ALL of these situations. 




Work It Out! is  a different  way of working


The Work It Out! 'Peer Group Working'   methodology was  covered by Des McCabe in his best-selling book 'Work It Out! - How to find the work you always wanted in a shifting jobs market' (Hay House, 2011) and made popular  through his  widely acclaimed and  inspirational half-day  Work It Out! workshops.

​​Together with his colleague Jimmy Ryan, they have  delivered this training internationally to over 21,000 people  to date, whilst  hundreds of organisations  have  transformed their effectiveness and success  through
Work It Out! 'Peer Group Working'    programs and initiatives.

Community   support    - working with   local people, groups and funding partners

We design, build and deliver bespoke Work it Out! programmes to address specific problems or needs in collaboration with our Host partners and organisations.

Our Host partners are not just funders! They help us to clarify the specific needs to be addressed and support the development of linkages (so we are not re-inventing the wheel). This ensures that Work it Out! initiatives quickly become embedded as part of the local social and economic fabric.

Our Host partners know the change that they wish to bring about and together we design initiatives to deliver this.  As one local community manager said to us recently 'If we keep doing what we’ve always done, we're going to keep getting the same results. We need fresh thinking and a much more joined up approach.' 

​Contact Jimmy Ryan, Programme Director for Ireland on 086 259 7275 or drop him an email at [email protected] - for more information on our initiatives in County Waterford and County Tipperary.. Perhaps we can work together to design a pilot initiative in your area.....

The Department of Rural and  Community Development has provided lead funding  directly for Work it Out!   Pilot initiatives  for the last three years.

We   are  incredibly grateful for  their support, guidance and  encouragement at every stage.  Thank-you.
