Feedback
In our twenty years of running conferences, Paul McGee is the only speaker we have ever invited back. That above all explains the benefit we feel we have gained from hearing Paul's SUMO philosophy. SpecSavers

I saw Paul present at an International conference. He uniquely addresses one of the biggest barriers to personal and business development... our own minds. The SUMO philosophy was a unanimous hit. Very, very powerful stuff!

Virgin Atlantic, Southern Africa

I would have no hesitation in recommending Paul McGee and his SUMO philosphy to any organisation who wants to engage a large number of staff in a way that provides excellent value for money compared to more conventional ways of training. The overwhelming feedback has been that the sessions were inspiring, thought-provoking, humourous but above all practical in helping my staff make a positive difference.
