This unique book will give professionals and creative individuals a set of tools to help tackle and understand more deeply the psychological obstacles that may arise when navigating their career path, allowing them to thrive in their roles and master their craft.Based both in practice and in theory, Mikkelsens innovative approach is framed around Freuds structural model of the superego, ego and id and Mikkelsens decade worth of experience as a coach and leadership developer.

Featuring rewritings of real examples from her own work with professional creatives, this book provides a framework for managing inner conflicts and discovering a creative destiny.This state-of-the-art guide will be essential reading for all people who want to use their creativity and their personality in their work, and those who coach, lead and manage them.
