Lead While You Care™ Workshop

How to Thrive & Lead While Balancing Work, Life & Care

According to a Harvard Business School study, 73% of employees have caregiving responsibilities —and most say it affects their performance at work. Yet few feel comfortable talking about it, and even fewer have access to tools or training that help them manage both roles effectively.

That’s why this session exists.

Led by physician, TEDx speaker, and caregiver advocate, Dr. Anna Thomas, Lead While you Care™ offers a transformative shift:

You are more than just a giver of care. You are a Care Leader.
And when you lead yourself with clarity, your care becomes more effective—and your work more sustainable.

Ideal Audience: Working professionals who are managing care for a loved one, employee caregivers, ERG members, and high-performing team members at risk of burnout

Value to Audience: Participants will learn how to approach caregiving with the mindset of a care leader, not just a care provider. Through hands-on tools and reflection, they’ll assess real care needs, rethink how they manage time and support, and discover how to build a sustainable care team. They’ll walk away with greater clarity, renewed confidence, and a personalized plan they can put into action immediately—at home and at work.
