Sparked by her own long search for inspiration in her life and work, Gail McMeekin has worked closely with some the contemporary world's most creative women in her guide to maximizing creative energy. Over 50 of these dynamic women share their secrets to success. Through a series of interviews and conversations, the author noticed recurring themes which she refined into 12 practices any woman can use to clear obstacles, transcend the ordinary and harness her creative power.

Incredible!

McMeekin's book is a must for all who feel frustrated and stuck in their career. She takes you step by step through a process that helps you define your needs, your desires, and tap into your own creativity...you. Eight women read it as part of our book club and more than half of us are expanding our paths as a result. Incredible!

An Inspiration

I've read many self help books but this one was different. McMeekin is an inspiration for all who feel locked into a path that doesn't fulfill. I highly recommend this book. It has truly changed my life and my priorities.

Wonderful book

This is a wonderful book for any person struggling with career decisions. McMeekin provides the tools for rediscovering one's inner needs in a simple step-by-step manner. Her vignettes provided real life situations that anyone in that position can identify with. McMeekin guides you to your own true path. The book was truly an inspiration!

Best Book on the Creative Process

This is the best book I've read on the creative process, and as a creativity coach, I've read a lot of them. This is one of the very few 'self-help' books that I have read in its entirety, and I've gone back and reread it several times.
If you're looking for inspiration and a path to emerge as your authentic creative self, this is the book for you. Full of honest stories of women who have thrived creatively, The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women is an A-Z source book for navigating the ups and downs of the creative life.
I can't recommend it enough! Thanks to Gail for writing such a powerful book that holds up very well years after publication.

If You're Looking for Creative Female Role Models, start here

12 Secrets fills a big need for creatively-bent women to hear how other creative women become successful following their inspirations and fascinations. Because I didn't have a strong creative female role model who earned a living at her craft growing up, this book inspired me to push on with my creative endeavors with helpful 'challenges' to personally work through and understanding what creative cycles are, how to conquer 'saboteurs', and transcending rejections and roadblocks. My copy is so marked up with highlighting and notes in the margins. Great quotes throughout. Thank you Gail for writing this book-we need more enlightened creative women to channel more inspiring voices like this book-
