What did you learn at your mother's knee?

The week of July 14th through July 18th, 2008 is Lipstick Leadership Week on KitchentotheCornerOffice.com! That means we want to hear YOUR stories about how your mother changed your life and made you into a successful career woman.

What lessons did your mother teach you that turned you into a leader? Did a Sunday afternoon of baking turn into an opportunity for responsibility? Did a Thanksgiving meal become a metaphor for organizational structure?

Tell your story in writing, audio, or video format. To contribute, just submit your story to Michelle Yozzo Drake here. You can read your submission and others' on Michelle's blog.

Michelle's new book, From the Kitchen to the Corner Office: Mom's Wisdom on Leadership, chronicles the lessons she learned from her own amazing mother. She'll be sharing those stories - and the stories of women she interviewed for her book - during Lipstick Leadership Week, and she invites you to join her in this celebration of maternal wonders!
