Ivanka Trump: Playing to Win

Ivanka Trump recently tied the knot with Jared Kushner, and the photos of her star-studded wedding have flocked onto the internet.   She looked gorgeous and her dress was amazing – I loved the lace!!  Here are some photos from her ceremony:

She wore jewelry from her namesake collection: A $45,000 custom-designed hair accessory, $130,000 diamond drop earrings and a $90,000 Art Deco-inspired bracelet.

Her dress was inspired by Grace Kelly and designed by Vera Wang

I have to admit, I was not a fan of Ivanka – however as I began to read reviews of her latest book, The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life, I discovered that she is more than Donald Trump’s daughter.  She  is a smart business woman and an inspiration.

Sure, Ivanka had the name and reputation of TRUMP to help her with her career – however she used her smarts, confidence and eagerness to build her own name rather than her father’s.  With her budding business, Ivanka has become an influential icon with both business and style. Her resume includes co-host of Celebrity Apprentice, Vice-President of her father’s real estate company and now, jewerly designer.  Her own jewelry line – Ivanka Trump Jewelry Collection, is “inspired by the timeless glamour of yesterday, yet influenced by the modern sensibility of today.” And as for the future of the brand – she plans on global expansion – launching her collection internationally. 

You have to admit – this woman knows business – so why wouldn’t you take her advice?

In her book – she gives valuable advice to young women who are seeking to land their first jobs, how to navigate their way through the business world and how to make a lasting impact. She 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.

I’m going to have to invest in her book, I mean who wouldn’t want the advice of a successful heiress – who went over and beyond what was expected  – and who did more with what her name gave her.
