Get Organized at Work | Career, Leadership, Project Management, Productivity, Time Management

Are you easily distracted at work - struggling to keep tasks and projects organized? Do you wish you could accelerate your career growth, but you feel held back due to unclear expectations or your lack of boundaries? Are you tired of the vicious cycle of burnout and long to feel the peace that comes with doing fulfilling, impactful work? I am so excited you’re here! This podcast is your go-to for all things career growth! You’ll learn productivity systems to help you get organized, plan ahead, and accomplish your work efficiently. You’ll increase your ability to anticipate problems at work and inside your team before they occur and increase your confidence to lead through them. Goodbye burnout, hello confident, proactive leadership! Hey, I’m Kayla Fahey-Ahrndt, MPH, MLS(ASCP)SBB…but you can call me KFA! I’ve got 13+ years of professional healthcare leadership experience, and I have 9+ years of management experience. I’m a mama of 3 littles, wife and best friend to my hubby who is also in healthcare, and coffee and planner obsessed. When I first stepped into my first professional leadership role, I was promoted quickly! At the time, I was a new mama and had way less experience than those I was leading. I knew I needed to learn and grow in order to succeed in my role. I lacked work-life balance and had no boundaries. I experienced burnout quickly by trying to people please and do everything myself. I worked long hours and my relationships suffered as a result. I finally realized that I needed simple, effective strategies to help me get organized and manage my competing priorities. I created my own daily management tool which helped me get organized, manage stress, achieve work-life integration. I quickly became the go-to leader for innovative healthcare leadership, and I was promoted again! If you are ready to implement sustainable systems and strategies to help you get organized, ditch the burnout, and finally get the recognition you deserve, grab your coffee or bubbly and press play on my show while you rock your spreadsheets! It’s time to dive in!

In today’s episode I address that fear many leaders have — being a micromanager. So many people tell me they don’t want to feel like they are micromanaging their team members or direct reports. Yeah, none of us enjoy that. And at the same time, it’s our job as leaders to know what‘s being worked on in our teams so that we can help set the direction, remove barriers, give praise, and help prioritize. So yes, we do need to ask our team members and direct reports what‘s on their plate, but I’ve figured out a way for them to proactively provide updates to me. I’m sharing one of my favorite templates with you and how I use it. Get it for free here!

In today’s episode, I talk about what real leadership looks like and what it doesn’t. Hint, it doesn’t look like burnout and pretending like you’ve got it all together. It looks like facing hard things with confidence AND vulnerability. Sharing your story and being real with people helps other more than you know! I reflect on when I was doing public speaking in February of 2020 at the Clinical Laboratory Management Conference…that feels like a long time ago.

In this episode, I share my personal experiences with asking for a raise and making counter offers when HR calls saying “you’ve got the job!” It‘s been a journey walking through finding my value, identifying my knowledge gaps, and asking for more! I don’t think we talk enough, as women, about what it means to ask for more when we are offered an exciting opportunity, and I want to NORMALIZE always making the ask. Pay equity is so important to me, and this is one way to close the wage gap—taking things into our own hands and asking for more!

In today's episode, I share my personal story of being "different" at work. Someone who has been told over and over again, "You just don't fit in..." or "Are you sure you're in the right profession?" I talk about how I flipped my mindset around the belief that maybe I wasn't cut out for this and why finding your truest you is so important at work.
