Kelly Ehlers’s Nice Girls Win is a self-development guide that asks women to reconsider what it means to be nice and what they truly deserve from life. Raised in rural Iowa to believe that winning required constant effort, she carried those expectations into an ambitious career, including an executive position that ended after she announced her pregnancy. She went on to establish successful businesses, but the demands of keeping everything running left her questioning her own happiness. That experience prompted her to reassess the assumptions she had accepted about success. Genuine kindness becomes the starting point for living according to her own standards, with room to speak honestly about what she wants. Drawing on her experiences as an entrepreneur and mother, she invites women to decide what winning should mean for them.
Kelly Ehlers’s Nice Girls Win is a fantastic self-development guide, and I love the practical encouragement the author offers women making their own rules. The writing is wonderfully conversational, and the author's enthusiasm makes this a pleasure to read. Project Orchid is a perfect example of how thoughtfully she puts kindness to work, sending orchids to prospective clients after their meetings as a lovely reminder of the conversation. I also enjoyed her account of giving up front-row tickets to a Justin Timberlake concert for the chance to cover New York Fashion Week, which fulfilled a dream she'd held since childhood. The exercises are useful, especially when she asks women to write down what they deserve. Well written and full of helpful advice, readers who want to take charge of their own happiness will adore this.
