Since 2019 I have been engaged in work with Don Dunoon and specifically, the OBREAU Tripod. For a practitioner committed to leadership learning through adaptive practice the OBREAU Tripod offered an avenue into adaptive work on the personal and organizational level. I have since shared it with students, faculty, and staff from across the university with great response. The tool provides a meaningful process and practice for navigating difficult conversations while maintaining commitments to adaptive practice and leadership.
