November 30, 2021Breaking 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 Pemberton
Martin 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.

November 23, 2021Leaders of Tomorrow - Becoming The Creator of Your Life
"Everybody doesn’t have your best interest at heart, everybody sees you differently but you have to be secure in who you are and that you can always show up as your best self - so this doesn’t break you or alter who you are" - Angel Livas

Join me as Angel shares her story of keeping her faith, finding happiness and knowing that you are and can always be more than what you originally thought. If you have the idea with the support and provisions around it, then why aren't you doing it?
