Playing to Win in Work and Life

De: Ivanka Trump

Narrado por: Jackie Chung, L.J. Ganser, Christina Moore

From the daughter of business mogul Donald Trump and a rising star in the Trump organization, this New York Times best seller is a business book for young women on how to achieve success in any field, based upon what Ivanka Trump has learned from her father and from her own experiences.

Inspiration. Success. Confidence. Passion. No one is born with these qualities, but they are the key ingredients for reaching goals, building careers, or taking a blueprint and turning it into a breathtaking skyscraper. In The Trump Card, Ivanka Trump recounts the compelling story of her upbringing as the ultimate Apprentice, the daughter of Donald and Ivana Trump, and 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 in to 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."

Good insight over Ivanka’s early career

This books will give you an insight over Ivanka’s life with stories from her modeling years up to her jewelry line. It is a great listen, except for the male entries of “bulletins from my blackberry” where the guy seems to be yelling at you, or mad at something.

Ivanka Trump is PRIVILEGED. Just ask her.

I listened in horror to her pomp at her circumstance. I am sort of tempted to listen again with a pen and paper in order to tally up every time she mentioned her wealth, her beauty, her privilege, her station, her charm, her height, her shrewd business sense, her properties, her admirers, her impeccable sense of style, timing, self, you name it. To hear Ivanka Trump tell it, she has excelled in her every flight of fancy. She has cultivated seeds, tiny germs, into outrageously lucrative enterprises (on the backs of unfairly compensated overseas factory workers, but she doesn't mention that. )
Yep. That's my take. She's paying her labor baloney to produce dime a dozen merch and she's slapping her name on the final product and charging criminally ridiculous mark ups, and fooling enough people to turn a tidy profit. None of which is distributed to the aforementioned brawn behind her bull, the actual creators in the poorly ventilated factories in China. I realize that she was forced to shutter her operations due to conflict of interest. It was happening when this gassy ego trip was first published, though. Ivanka Trump is 100% her father's daughter. She's gross.
