- Breaking Down the Role of Ego as a Leader
"Labels put limits on people, it's about fixing your mindset..and realising that I will be anything that I need to be based on that present moment" - Martin Pemberton
When we attach what we are good at with "who we are" and this stops happening, it can seem like your world has crumbled to pieces. The ego loves labels, it doesn't show gratitude, it makes you think you are better (or less) than someone, it pushes you into spaces that you may not desire. But it is becoming more important to not only have self-awareness but awareness of self in our lives.
In this week's episode, Martin Pemberton, ex footballer shares relatable understandings of the role of ego in our lives. It can be our personal bodyguard and can protect us, but it's not front of house, and should not be in control.
About Martin PembertonMartin Pemberton is an English football central defender who has played for many different professional clubs before moving to non-league side Farsley Celtic in spring 2005. It became a challenging period with personal battles with mental health issues after retiring from a career as a professional footballer and entering into a challenging role as Learning Mentor for disadvantaged children.
This started his self-recovery and self-love journey which led him to create the 1 to 11 structure to help with finding your personal blueprint of happiness, with references to football.

About Everyday Leadership
From the publisher's feed
Despite what the world will have us believe Leadership is not about position or title, leadership is about the decisions and choices we make and ultimately it starts with how we lead ourselves…
everyday. How we deal with the difficulties, challenges, ups and downs that arise both personally and professionally and how we respond to them. Far too often we only see the end result, not the whole process which is why the podcast always starts with an origin story of my guest before we discuss topics such as business, culture, inclusion, equity, marriage and faith demonstrating leadership and explanations of how you can develop your leadership.
