True.

Growth mindset is helpful here, particularly separating getting something wrong with 'having something wrong with you'.

How do you identify when you are wrong? (As in as human, it’s very hard to see our own mistake). Any tips?

The world operates in shades of gray rather than black and white, and many times it's not that you are dead wrong, it's that you have your own experience to leverage, which can always be supplemented and complimented by other points of view. Be open to seeing those other points of view and never hesitate to ask for feedback, whether from a peer/peers or your manager. Always be open to the fact that there is a better way to accomplish something, or perhaps a different way that aligns with more of those involved's viewpoints.

How does one become teachable?

Be willing to set your ego aside, and understand that there is no "right way" in most cases, which may mean that you take a different course than you first instinct.
