I had the privilege of meeting Ivanka Trump in Boston, MA at the
CREW Convention last week. Ivanka talked about her dad and what
a great role model he has been to her and a great mentor. She
talked about her experience in Leadership in the Trump Organization.
Sitting around a board room with mostly all male members it is
challenging but Ivanka Trump at age 28 is mastering the skills
of leadership. I have to say that for a young woman at age 28
she is very poised, smart and knowledgeable. She has great
education and is learning the ART of making a deal just like her
dad, Donald Trump.
I asked Ivanka Trump this question: "Ivanka, you've talked about
your dad and what a great role model he is, what about your mom,
Ivana Trump who was born and raised in the same country that I
was raised in, Czechoslovakia. What kind of a role model was your
mom in your life?" She replied " My mom is a very detailed person.
She ran the Plaza Hotel and Casinos and was always very involved in
all the details all the way to the employees uniforms, the hallways
decor, even light bulbs when they were burned out she brought to the
attention of the General Manager". Ivanka wrote a book called the
"Trump Card" She has autographed this book for me and I am now
reading it. It talks a lot about her experience growing up in the
Trump household and her life. I recommend this book to any young
woman to read because I think it is very inspiring.
Thank you Ivanka for your Leadership as a woman in today's man's
world and thank you for giving me the opportunity of listening to
your story and sharing your book with me. I truly admire your
accomplishments in the Trump Organization, Your New Jewelry Line
and writing this book. I hope that one day my company, Real Estate
International Inc. and your Trump Organization will get to do some
business transactions together. After ALL - we are both CZECH CHICKS
and both of our grandparents came from the same country and area.
