What They Taught Me is a must read for all women! It so beautifully portrays the power of women investing in women. Kelsey shows that mentorship and championing others doesn't have to be complicated and transactional, but even more powerful by simply stepping into who God has already called you to be, exactly where you are, with what is in your hands in the moment. The book was enjoyably witty with relatable stories. WTTM has empowered me to evaluate how I can better use what God's already given me to pour into my two baby girls so that they can go and someday do the same!
What They Taught Me is a powerful reflection on the village that raises us - the people who decide to love us through difficulty, who show up to lift us up, and who teach us to give to others, as they have given to us. Mentorship often lacks clarity and boundaries, directives and care, but Kelsey clarifies practical steps, wisdom for relating, and the right balance of personal connection and excellence necessary to seek mentorship, and to provide it, as well. I want to give a copy of this to every young woman in my life, and you will absolutely be encouraged to do the same.
One of my favorite quotes ever is this: “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.” -John Quincy Adams Most wonder if they even are capable of mentoring, but the reality is we all do in some shape, form, or fashion. Whether a reluctant or ecstatic mentor, within What They Taught Me, Kelsey dives in deep into this thought of being a leader/mentor with intentionality and consideration for others. It’s a book I personally will underline, highlight, and return to often. Love it!
