S1e07: You Can't Lead From Empty

In this episode, Nelson turns the lens on the person most often missing from the school wellbeing conversation: the Deputy Principal themselves. Drawing on DISC Flow profiling, he maps out how depletion, risk behaviour, and restoration look fundamentally different across the four DISC styles and why generic wellbeing advice fails school leaders. The episode includes a DISC Wellbeing Map covering depletion signals, risk behaviours, and restoration strategies for each profile, a framework for the four boundary types most critical for DPs, a deep exploration of modelled wellbeing as a leadership act and a personal From the DP Desk reflection on the collegial conversation that reconnected Nelson to themeaning underneath his work. Includes the DISC Diagnostic applied to a Term 2, Week 8 depletion scenario, One Powerful Question, and the coaching question that might be the most important one in the series!
