When Leadership Meets Caregiving
You’re used to solving complex problems.
At work, there’s a playbook.
At home, there’s a rhythm.
But this- this season of caregiving - doesn’t come with a manual.
One minute you’re leading a meeting, the next you’re managing medication schedules, navigating doctors and negotiating with siblings.
You’re holding it all together, but inside you’re tired, stretched thin and wondering how long you can keep this pace.
You don’t need another productivity hack or inspirational quote.
You need peace, structure and a clear path forward.
You don’t have to do it all alone. You just need a new way to lead this chapter of your life.
There’s a way to naviagate care, career and your own wellbeing - without the constand guilt, pressure and exhaustion. It starts with getting clear on what truly matters right now and letting go what doesn’t.
I bring strategy that soothes and support that steadies - so you can lead your life, not just manage it. Living with presence and peace.
There is Another Way
Let’s talk about what’s on your plate:
The Framework - “The Care Method”
My clients are leaders. They crave structure, not sympathy. That’s why I built a framework that brings clarity to the chaos.
I’ve Lived the Collison of Leadership and Caregiving
Hi, I’m Lauren Yankoff.
At the height of my corporate career - leading a $400M division and raising two boys as a single mom - my father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and Lewy Body dementia. I didn’t slow down. I did what high-functioning leaders do: I. KEPT. GOING.
And quietly, I began to unravel.
What I learned is that caregiving and leadership aren’t at odds - they just require a new operating system.
Now I help others build theirs, so they show up for their families, lead with integrity and still have a life that feels like their own.

The Support
“I would recommend Lauren as a resource to talk through and recommend different ways to handle difficult situations with being an elder care giver. In addition, she helped me recognize when I needed assistance and to take care of myself, in order to be a better caregiver.”

Validation & Frameworks
It's been very helpful to simply have a space to validate my own feelings. I also appreciate the chance to practice hard conversations. This gives me a framework and reminds me of the overall goal of the conversation in the moment.

Clarity & Vulnerability
"Lauren has a gift for taking muddled thoughts and reflecting them back in a way that reveals truth. I didn’t expect to get emotional during our sessions—but she made it safe to be vulnerable, and helped me embrace my true self."
Kimberly
My clients often say:
“I can finally breathe again”
“I know what to do next”
“I stopped running on guilt.”
When we work together, you’ll experience:
Peace of mind and emotional steadiness
Values-driven clarity and alignment
Boundaries that hold
Confidence navigating care with compassion and courage
A renewed sense of self - and space to live it.
There was no model for what I was going through. No framework. No permission to fall apart or ask for help. So I built what I needed, and now, I offer it to leaders like you.
Throughout my career, I’ve coached senior leaders at companies like Starbucks, Target, and Victoria’s Secret. I’ve helped them navigate complex decisions, grow through disruption, and lead from their values. But caregiving revealed something no corporate training ever touched—how little support there is when career and caregiving collide.
There’s leadership coaching for the professional.
There’s empathy for the family caregiver.
But there’s almost nothing for the person doing both, at full capacity, all the time.
That’s why I created The Empowered Executive, a coaching space designed specifically for navigating the unspoken intersection of caregiving, career, and self. Not to help you do more, but to help you not lose yourself in the process. And to lead your life with clarity, calm, and integrity, even now.
Because success looks different in this season.
And you deserve support that honors everything you’re holding.
You’ve carried enough.
It’s time for a different kind of conversation - one that centers you, too.
Let’s talk about what this season looks like for you and how to navigate it with more clarity and compassion.
