Personal and Professional Boundaries with David Bott

Saying yes is a finite resource; as is your time. When you say “yes” to one thing you are inevitably saying “no” to another. 

In this episode, I have the pleasure of chatting with David Bott, a sought-after speaker, author and education consultant who works with government organisations and some of the world’s leading schools to help guide wellbeing vision and strategy. As an expert in applied wellbeing science, David has supported thousands of educators from hundreds of schools around the world in designing and implementing system-level approaches to wellbeing and cultural change.

David is the Co-Founder and Director of The Wellbeing Distillery, based in Melbourne, Australia. David sits on the UAE Government’s Dubai Future Council for Education, is a Director on the PESA (Positive Education Schools Association) board. David’s bestselling book, 10 Things Schools Get Wrong: And How We Can Get Them Right was published in 2020.

David has led significant projects, partnering with government and non-government organisations, to embed wellbeing science in school systems in the UAE and Hong Kong. His current work is informed by his five years as Associate Director at the Institute of Positive Education and his 15 years of practical teaching experience in Australia and the UK where he held senior pastoral and academic leadership positions.

David and I discuss: 

• What boundaries are different types of boundaries 
• Why it is important to maintain personal and professional boundaries 
• What challenges people face when enforcing their boundaries 
• How people can balance the need for boundaries with the desire to be flexible and accommodating
• The launch of The Wellbeing Educator, an online professional learning course 
• And much more!

Thank you for coming on this journey to create a better future for our life long learners!
