Double-Loop Learning

3-Minute Reframe with Cameron Conaway · May 14, 2026 · 3m

For nearly twenty years, Cameron Conaway bit his nails down to nothing every time he sat down to write. He tried willpower, deterrents, accountability — nothing worked. What he didn't know was that he was fixing the behavior without ever questioning the belief underneath it.

In this episode of 3-Minute Reframe, he connects that personal story to organizational psychologist Chris Argyris's landmark research on double-loop learning — and leaves you with one question worth a five-minute timer.
