"This is a chatty step-by-step guide to living a happy life and getting ahead in a career." âUSA Today
Â
"The advice is spot-on for everyone, not just women." âTony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos.com and author of Delivering Happiness
Â
I believe that when it comes to women and work, there isnât one right answer. The only person who can create a life youâll love is you.Â
Â
Our grandmothers fought for the right to work. Our mothers fought for the choice to be in an office or to stay at home. Our generation is the first to fully embrace and celebrate the fact that our lives are multidimensional. Thanks to the women who came before us and paved the way, we can create the lives we want to leadâwhich look different for each of us.??
Â
Iâve been fortunate to be able to build my career around my passions, from real estate to fashion. But my professional titles only begin to describe who I am and what I value. I have been an executive and an entrepreneur, but alsoâand just as importantlyâa wife, mother, daughter, and friend. To me, âworkâ encompasses my efforts to succeed in all of these areas.??
Â
After appearing on The Apprentice years ago and receiving a flood of letters from young women asking for guidance, I realized the need for more female leaders to speak out publicly in order to change the way society thinks and talks about âwomen who work.â So I created a forum to do just that. This book evolves the conversation that started on IvankaTrump.com, where so many incredible women (and men!) have shared their experiences, advice, ambitions, and passions.??
Â
Women who work lead meetings and train for marathons. We learn how to cook and how to code. We inspire our employees and our children. We innovate at our current jobs and start new businesses.??
Â
Women Who Work will equip you with the best skills Iâve learned from some of the amazing people Iâve met, on subjects such as identifying opportunities, shifting careers smoothly, negotiating, leading teams, starting companies, managing work and family, and helping change the system to make it better for womenânow and in the future. I hope it will inspire you to redefine success and architect a life that honors your individual passions and priorities, in a way only you can.?
