A recent client states:

 

"Mike Schiks and Minnesota Model Consulting provided our team with valuable insights and a set of practical recommendations which were immediately implemented at Jaywalker Lodge. The results of Mike's three-day on site visit have been profound and positive for our organization -- particularly in the areas of human resources and client/staff interaction. Our work with Minnesota Model Consulting cut right to the chase. By meeting extensively with staff and clients, Mike helped us resolve our near-term internal issues; and his follow-up report also mapped out a long term strategy to establish Jaywalker as a center of excellence in the addiction treatment field."

Presentations and Workshops

Of the numerous presentations and workshops I've attended during my career, most were general topics that required my colleagues and I to determine on our own how to apply the information in an addiction treatment environment.  While comparing operations and best practices from a variety of fields is always valuable, applying that information in a practical setting is not always easy.

Minnesota Model Consulting presenters have both educational and practical experience in their specialty fields within an addiction treatment environment.   Their presentations are tailored to the specific needs of the addiction professional, whether clinical or managerial.  They are able to present topics so that you can readily apply the knowledge to your treatment program or related service. 

Our presentations can be customized for many audiences and we will work to develop the best options for you.  The following is a sample of the presentation and workshop topics we've addressed.  Don't hesitate to contact us to discuss your specific concerns and we will work to develop the right training to help.
