The Trump Card - 9781439140154

Inspiration. Success. Confidence. Passion.

No one is born with these qualities, but they are the key ingredients for reaching goals, building careers, or turning a blueprint into a breathtaking skyscraper. In The Trump Card, Ivanka Trump, a vice president of development and acquisitions for the Trump Organization and a boardroom adviser on The Apprentice, shares the life lessons and hard-won insights that have made her a rising star in the business world.

Whether it's landing that first job, navigating the workplace, or making a lasting impact, Ivanka's valuable, practical advice for young women shows how to:

• Use uncertainty to your advantage—thrive in any environment

• Step up and get noticed at work—focus and efficiency will open doors

• Create a strong and consistent identity—your name and reputation are your best assets

• Know what you want—get the most out of any negotiation.

Ivanka also taps into the wisdom of today's leaders, including Arianna Huffington, Russell Simmons, and Cathie Black, with "Bulletins" from her BlackBerry. "We've all been dealt a winning hand," she writes, "and it is up to each of us to play it right and smart."
