How To Keep Moving Forwards: Paul McGee

Sometimes, what you need to survive and thrive in challenging times is age old wisdom. And my guest this week is full of it. Paul McGee – speaker and Sunday Times best selling author –has sold over a quarter of a million books, and spoken in more than 40 countries to date. He’s an expert in things like dealing with change, developing relationships, creating opportunies and performing under pressure. His work has been endorsed by the likes of Sir Clive Woodward – and his clients have included the most dominant football team in England in recent years, Manchester City. His book is called SUMO – which stands for Shut up and move on – and we talk about the key lessons he has distilled in there – from seeing other people’s perspective to spotting and creating opportunities.

In this episode:

Perspective, understanding other people and developing ‘compassionate curiosity’

An equation for making good choices in life and responding appropriately

Taking the time to embrace low moments

Overcoming a victim narrative

How to spot and create opportunities

The power of getting in front of people and developing relationships

Life as a game of snakes and ladders

Paul’s seven questions top consider when life doesn’t seem to be going to plan
