openness
There's an openness we can have with him.
fire good
If he didn't think we were doing a good job, he would fire us without hesitation.
issues important honest
It's important to be honest with and respectful of each other and deal with issues as they arrive, as opposed to letting them simmer.
daughter watches proud
I am a very proud daughter. Obviously to be able to see this transpiring, to watch him achieve so much as a politician - and we're certainly not a family of politicians, and politics is certainly not our family business - it's been amazing.
daughter father past
So it's exciting for me to be able to be with him [my father, Donald trump] for major moments and stand by his side, and I'm very proud of him as a daughter and as somebody who's worked beside him for the past decade at The Trump Organization.
mistake ambition pride
Traditionally 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.
thoughtful red-flags accomplishment
It's always a huge red flag for me when somebody's reticent or reluctant or a little slow in providing thoughtful references that are a testament to them as a person and their professional accomplishments.
design transition acquisition
So there's no typical day, but I transition through the course of my business day by doing everything from construction meetings on the development project under construction to design meetings for an upcoming apparel delivery to acquisition meetings about projects we're looking to acquire. It's very diverse in terms of content, substance, and what I address on a typical day.
daughter father dislike-me
I don't have a strategy. I am my own person. So if people disagree with the opinion of my father and want to dislike me because I'm his daughter, then I'm probably not going to be able to discourage them from that.
team thinking organization
Part of being able to make great decisions around that and to really grow a business and scale a business, it also comes down to people. I spend a lot of time building teams at both businesses - both The Trump Organization and my own - and thinking about who to hire to supplement the team and allow us to best achieve our goals.
enjoy endgame modeling
Modeling was not an endgame for me. I didn't particularly enjoy the act of it.
swings balance impossible
A scale is only in balance for a brief second. Inevitably the pendulum swings. It's impossible to maintain.
husband trying marathon
I try not to be too hard on myself. My husband reminds me that life is a marathon, not a sprint.
traditional elegant
I always envisioned myself having a traditional and elegant wedding.
