Janice Goldmintz speaks to professional audiences about a reality many are already navigating but rarely name — when aging parents begin to need more support at the same time careers are reaching their peak.

This isn’t just a personal challenge. It shows up at work in subtle but significant ways — affecting focus, availability, decision-making, and the ability to take on new opportunities.

With a master’s degree in gerontology and personal experience supporting both of her parents through Alzheimer’s disease, Janice brings both expertise and lived insight to this often unspoken stage of life.

Her talks help audiences recognize what’s already happening beneath the surface — and understand how greater awareness can strengthen leadership, support performance, and contribute to a more responsive workplace culture.
