Positive Choices

About Positive Choices

SUMO is an innovative approach that provides a set of tools and principles to help you get the best out of yourself, the best out of others and the best out of life.

Developed by Paul McGee over a 30 year period SUMO has been used around the world in the private sector, the public sector, and even Premier League football teams, most notably Manchester City. SUMO is an acronym that, depending on the context, can stand for ‘Shut Up, Move On’ or ‘Stop, Understand, Move On.’ In Latin SUMO can mean 'Choose' and at the heart of Paul’s work is a desire to help people make wiser choices in order to achieve better results in life, while having more fun in the process.

Paul combines hard-won personal insights, ancient wisdom, modern science, hilarious anecdotes, practical tips, and hands-on frameworks to offer a new way of thinking. Fulfil your potential, seize opportunities, succeed at home and at work, and increase your resilience by adopting the SUMO approach to life.
