The 2009 Women@Work Breakfast will feature guest speaker Ann Crittenden, award-winning journalist, author, and lecturer. Her latest book, If You've Raised Kids, You Can Manage Anything, received critical praise and was featured in People magazine. Her previous book, The Price of Motherhood, garnered widespread media attention and was named one of the New York Times Notable Books of the Year in 2001.

If You've Raised Kids, You Can Manage Anything describes the parenting skills that are transferable to the workplace and the lessons of leadership that can be learned from raising children.

Drawing on her own experience and interviews with nearly 100 prominent parents in the fields of business, law, government, diplomacy, entertainment, and academia, Crittenden offers empowering insights into the assets that conscientious mothers and fathers can bring to the workplace.

The 2009 Women@Work Breakfast is sponsored by Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC and Duke University and University Health System.
