The 2007 Women@Work Breakfast was held on September 18 from 8:30 to 10:30 am at American Tobacco in Durham, NC. Carolina Parent recognized our 40 NC Family-Friendly companies and acknowledged the challenges and triumphs that all working moms face.

This year's event featured guest speaker, Paula Spencer, author of blog, book and monthly column in Woman's Day column — Momfidence. Spencer, a parenting expert and mother of four, provides refreshing, down-to-earth proof that most of the business of raising confident, healthy children involves nothing more complicated than trusting your instincts, using common sense, and above all, hanging on to your humor. Momfidence explains how obsessing less and winging it more can keep you sane — and your kids healthy and happy.

After Paula’s talk, the program concluded with an exciting panel discussion “Parents & Employers: Benefiting from a Changing Workplace.” Four local panelists and moderators Maryanne Perrin and Kella Hatcher of Balancing Professionals explored how both employers and employees alike are benefiting from  innovative changes in workplace structure.  Attendees bought personalized, signed copies of Momfidence and registered to win great door prizes!

The 2007 Women@Work Breakfast was sponsored by Balancing Professionals, Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC, Bright Horizons, Capital Broadcasting, Duke University and Pinehurst.
