David Bott: Making Mistakes & Learning Lessons | Epiosde 145

“Growth comes from reflection, not from perfection.” - David Bott

What lessons can we learn from getting it wrong?

In this episode of The School of Wellbeing, Meg Durham is joined by David Bott, Co-Founder of The Wellbeing Distillery and a globally respected educator, to explore the lessons we can learn from getting it wrong. Together, they unpack the emotional weight of mistakes, the power of vulnerability, and why professional arrogance can get in the way of truly understanding student needs.

They discuss the balance between visible and invisible aspects of wellbeing, the importance of listening and student voice, and how mistakes can actually help us grow, connect and lead with more heart.

Whether you’re a teacher, school leader or simply someone who’s felt the sting of getting it wrong, this conversation is a reminder that reflection, not perfection, is the key to meaningful growth.
