S.U.M.O. Your Relationships

When it comes to relationships, reality rules. We'd all like
to think of ourselves as everyone's best friend, but what's the truth? Are you a hero or a zero to other people? Do you see yourself as others really see you? Do you need to make a fresh deposit into your relationship account
before you go overdrawn?

S.U.M.O. Your Relationships will help you manage, maintain, grow and move on, in your key relationships with others and yourself. At some point in your life you are going to have to deal with difficult relationships, whether it's with a colleague, parent, friend or partner. Isn't it time you did a stock take of your relationships and started making the best of them?

S.U.M.O. Your Relationships has pit stops, pearls of wisdom and all the humour and inspiration you need to make the key changes in your life. You will discover the seven S.U.M.O. realities followed by seven insights to help light the way to a brighter future.

S.U.M.O. Your Relationships identifies seven character types. You might have met some of them...

The Ditherer: A Ditherer would take a holiday every year in the land of procrastination. If only they could decide how to get there.

The Commander: Loves to take control. It's a dog eat dog world out there and if you're not careful, you are next on the menu.

The Hijacker: There's no conversation that can't be interrupted when the Hijacker is around, so don't expect to make it off the verbal runway.

The Awfuliser: Having a bad day? Let the Awfuliser make it feel a whole lot worse.

The Happy: Need some sunshine in your life? The Happy will dazzle you so much you'll soon be running for a quiet, darkened room again.

The Whinger: Why achieve anything when you can moan about it instead? Life's a drag, so why not tell everyone?

The Swinger: A change is as good as a rest, so they say. Who needs rest when you can change your mind as often as you change your underwear?

PRAISE FOR S.U.M.O. YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
"'This book is full of wisdom, common sense and practical ideas on improving relationships. An essential read."

S.U.M.O. Shut Up, Move On

So what exactly does it mean to S.U.M.O.?

S.U.M.O. stands for Shut Up, Move On. We all long for success and enjoyment - unfortunately we don't always get either of them. Have you ever thought that your attitude could be what is holding you back?

S.U.M.O. shows that the way you think is a major factor in determining how your life unfolds. It demonstrates that by taking responsibility for your life, you can fulfil your potential, seize opportunities, enjoy relationships, succeed at work and respond to adverse situations with a positive attitude.

S.U.M.O. encourages you to take an honest look at your life, remembering that it is never too late to change. We can all dump the victim T-shirt, develop fruitier thinking a ditch the idea that 'whatever will be will be.'

S.U.M.O. offers heavyweight life coaching with a soft-centre. Weighing in with humour, insight, practical tips and personal anecdotes, it is a thought provoking - and possibly life-changing - read.

“A superb book”
Alan and Barbara Pease, Authors of Why Men Don’t Listen and Women Can’t Read Maps

“Like the best things in life, the S.U.M.O. approach is powerful, simple and effective. A highly engaging and thought provoking book, anyone who reads it is sure to look at themselves and the world differently as a result”
Octavius Black and Sebastian Bailey, Co-founders The Mind Gym

"Does what it says on the tin!
How refreshing to read a 'motivational type' book that doesn't pretend that everything in the garden is rosey but one that takes an honest, humorous and practical look at how to get the most from our lives.The author's openness about his own everyday challenges gives the book an easy to identify with feel, whilst also providing some moments to pause and reflect. I have to say what drew to the book in the first place was it's title... superb!( For once I can read a book on the tube without feeling embarrassed by the title). In summary, it's readable, practical, realistic, humorous and inspirational...AND in the midst of the busy lives and hectic schedules that many of us lead, this won't take an age to read. I look forward to the next offering from the SUMO Guy!"
Mr PD Sandham from Canterbury, Kent United Kingdom

"Great Book with Practical Advice
I just wanted to congratulate you on your SUMO book. It was a great read and by far and away the best in the self help category that I have read recently.
I coach people for a living and read a lot of these types of books and believe that many fail because they are too abstract or too difficult to put into practice. Your book, however, is full of practical things you can do straight away to start to make a difference.
I particularly liked the 'Ditch Doris Day' chapter"
Rob Parker from Cheltenham, UK

"I was made redundant on Friday. It was a dull but well paid job- I wallowed (for half a day). Then, still feeling angry and let down, on my way home I bought your book in Heathrow airport and read it from cover to cover while waiting for my flight. I have always been the type of person to see the opportunities when faced with adversity, but your book has given me the insight, courage and determination to pursue my dream career. Thankyou!"
Nikki Ritchie
