I believe that when it comes
to women and work, there isn’t one right answer. The only person who can create
a life you’ll love is you.
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 lead—which look
different for each of us.
I’ve 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 also—and just as importantly—a wife,
mother, daughter, and friend. To me, “work” encompasses my efforts to succeed
in all of these areas.
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 “women who work.” 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.
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.
Women Who Work will equipyou with the best skills I’ve learned from some of the amazing people I’ve 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 women—now 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.
