The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life

Good book to inspire young people to set goals and work hard to accomplish them.

I cried! What sophistication and mannerism for someone her age. Not only is she carrying the honorary badge of a Wharton education,but the from birth weanng to control an empire! I was more than impressed to say the least, and feel as though Trump has really succeeding in transferring hard nosed business values and social kindness into his daughter. The traits embodied in Ivanka are very rare, and applying them in the demension of business, where women typically do worse than men, is even more uncommon. Anyone who cannot see this is not keen to the art of business, and the leadership skills necessary to develop a growing enterprise. Committment, intelligence, passion and focus are scattered throughout this book in perfect combination. The memoir of her person, offers legendary business insight to an even younger generation!

"The Trump Card" is a scintillating must-read for anyone starting out in business or climbing the corporate ladder. Ivanka gives insightful, thoughtful advice and strategies for negotiating the competitive corporate world. In addition, the book includes an assortment of blackberry updates from extremely accomplished entrepreneurs. I came away feeling re-energized and excited about my prospects.

Ivanka has done a terrific job--her book is witty, wise and right on. She has expertly woven memoirs with concrete, constructive business advice. A significant book on many levels, The Trump Card is entertaining as well as insightful--and definitely worth the time.

A compelling glimpse into the world of buisness from a fresh, new perspective. This book is rife with insight and anecdotal tips from Ivanka's past and present, which impart both an educational as well as entertaining story. The subject matter itself is focused and well structured, and the advice is relevant across all ages and professions. Ivanka gives a sense of what it was like to grow up with a recognizable last name, and how that was hurdle of its own nature for her in the realm of buisness. These pages reveal though, that one's pedigree doesn't necessarily carve one's path to glory. Ivanka's business prowess reads loud and clear, and shows that the woman she is today was born out of hard work and gutsy initiative -attributes we can all stand to learn from. This is an especially empowering read for women who may be up against the challenge of a male dominated industry...Ivanka clearly upsets the norm of the male/female power play, and knows how to use what could be construed as a weakness to her advantage. She reveals herself as both a mature and witty individual, with a lot of valuable advice to impart. The collection of "blackberry bulletins" are also extremely interesting, as they divulge wisdom from the (impressive!) list of contacts she seemingly managed to rope into giving advice to the rest of us! I feel inspired to take charge of my career in a way I never thought possible. I can't recommend this book enough!
