IVANKA TRUMPI hate having people sit in on meetings.

IVANKA TRUMPTraditionally women have been more reticent to acknowledge their ambition and to say it with pride. So I like having people who work for us who are ambitious, engaged, respectful. Mis-hiring is a huge mistake. It’s a tremendous opportunity cost throwing the position to the wrong person.
IVANKA TRUMPIn both business and personal life, I’ve always found that travel inspires me more than anything else I do.

IVANKA TRUMPHaving toddlers always means that there’s a fair amount of chaos at home, but that’s part of the fun. And from a work perspective, we have projects under construction all over the world, including many right here in the US.
IVANKA TRUMPSuccess isn’t something that happens to you; you happen to it.
IVANKA TRUMPI don’t plan to take a formal, cold approach with my children, but I expect a lot. I don’t want my children to view me as their best friend. I want to be their mom.
IVANKA TRUMPThe beauty of America is people can do what they like.
IVANKA TRUMPTruly saddened by the loss of one of the greatest fashion icons of all time. Oscar de la Renta will be greatly missed.
