"I've spent 40 years helping people find their work, their purpose, and themselves.
Here's what I've learned."
Des McCabe, author, speaker, and community builder. Founder of the UK's largest independent training organisation. Advisor to six governments. Designer of the Peace Builder programme with Senator George Mitchell. And someone who believes the most important work any of us does is figuring out who we are and what we're here for.
The Des Story
"I started by building businesses. I built TBG from scratch into the UK's largest independent training organisation, placing 5,000 long-term unemployed into jobs before selling it in 1995.
I advised governments, designed peace-building programmes, and helped hundreds of organisations license their expertise around the world.
And then, somewhere in all of that, I started asking a different question: "How do we build more of what truly matters?" That question became the Daily Deflections, the Thursday Zoom, and everything on this site."

What I do
BooksFrom "Work It Out!" to the three volumes of Daily Deflections, practical, personal, and honest writing on work, purpose, meaning, and life.

CommunityEvery Thursday I host a free Zoom session, open to anyone who wants another perspective, feels a bit stuck, or just wants to think out loud with others. No agenda, no pitch. [Join the Thursday Zoom]

LicensingIf you've built something that works and want to scale it as a global community, that's a different conversation. [Visit workitout.info]
