Define Your Own Path As A Dialogue Between The Possibilities In Your Field and Your Personal Drive

Being aware how you take up your role as a cultural creative person and curate your narrative, work with project management and establish the right work relationships, can help you create the platform that allows you to build the professional creative life you want for yourself.

As a member of Milano Club you will be guided through 12 steps to help you face your own challenges, broaden your perspective and make the necessary choices.

The Milano Club process will help you steer toward the goal you set out yourself along three paths:

1. Crafting your own professional narrative.
2. Defining your own way of working.
3. Developing the kind of work relations that inspire and lift you and your work.

Influences and Working Models

Milano Clubs concept of professional development has been influenced by a wide range of sources through Thea Mikkelsen's intense studies on professional development for cultural creative people.

Among them research on creative organisations by Harvard Business School professor Linda Hill, on creative innovation by Stockholm based Italian professor Roberto Verganti and research on professional development by Herminia Ibarra. The theoretical foundation of Milano Club has been inspired by psychoanalytically trained scholars like Gianpiero Petriglieri from the business school INSEAD in Paris, the independent Lacanian scholar Philip Boxer and his work on Lacan and work, as well as Australian professor in organisational development Susan Long.
