Built to Adapt: Leading Teams Through Change is a focused, half-day workshop held in Presque Isle, Maine, that equips managers and staff with practical tools to navigate organizational transitions. Facilitated by David Tripp and Marie Hansen of Workplace Performance Inc., the session runs from 9am to 1pm and includes lunch, interactive exercises, and ready-to-use frameworks designed to reduce resistance and accelerate buy-in. The room fills with a mix of local professionals—nonprofit leaders, municipal staff, small-business managers—who bring real challenges and leave with clear next steps. The agenda centers on why people resist change, how to diagnose emotional and structural barriers, and which leadership behaviors convert uncertainty into momentum. Expect a blend of short lectures, group problem-solving, role-play, and debriefs that translate theory into actions you can apply the same afternoon. What makes this workshop stand out in northern Maine isn’t just the content; it’s the facilitation. Tripp and Hansen pair corporate-tested models with plainspoken Maine practicality. They tailor exercises to participants’ situations, breaking complex transitions into manageable moves: framing the change, sequencing quick wins, and designing feedback loops. The result is a session that feels both strategic and immediately useful for teams juggling limited resources and high expectations. Practical details are straightforward: the meeting starts at 9am, runs four hours, and includes lunch. Bring examples of current projects or initiatives you want to untangle; facilitators use live cases for applied learning. No prior training is required—this workshop is intentionally accessible for supervisors, HR professionals, and front-line staff who influence team dynamics. Beyond the classroom, Presque Isle offers a grounded backdrop for reflection. Participants often take a midday walk to clear their heads and return ready to workshop next steps. The session’s design respects local schedules and budgets, which makes it a good fit for organizations aiming for durable change without long consulting engagements. If your team is facing restructuring, new technology rollouts, or cultural shifts, this workshop is a concentrated way to build shared language and habits that stick. More than a one-off training, Built to Adapt creates a playbook: a set of concrete moves leaders can repeat when the next change arrives. Hosted by Workplace Performance Inc., and led by David Tripp and Marie Hansen, it’s a practical investment for teams that want to move from reactive to deliberate change leadership. Registration is handled through the course host; check availability and bring questions about specific transitions you are managing. The format encourages peer learning, so come prepared to share challenges and listen. Organizations often follow up with internal action plans after the session to sustain momentum. For teams in Aroostook County and beyond, Built to Adapt offers a compact, accountable way to convert disruption into forward motion and resilience.
