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!

As for today's leadership topic, I'm sharing about "being a pioneer." In leadership, there will be times when you're doing "firsts." I break down what that can feel like and give you some tips for how to navigate ambiguity. Most importantly, I share how you can bring your team with you as you "lead from the side" instead of being way out front all by yourself.
I share more about this in my 5 Day Series "The Leader Mindset." You can listen to the 5 days series on the podcast or via Youtube. Everything is linked here for you here --> The Leader Mindset 5 Day Series

How did August go for you? As leaders, high achievers, and NORMAL HUMANS :) it's important to reflect regularly, but at a high enough level so that we can understand what's working, what's not, and how we can pivot as needed. The end goal isn't to reach your goal (yup, I said it!), but it's to make intentional progress toward the goal in a way that FEELS GOOD! In this episode, I'm sharing how August went by answering these reflection questions. You can get your free Monthly Reflection Template by visiting my website here!
Let's make September feel awesome!

It's been a hot minute since I shared exactly what's been going on with my and life as a manager. In this episode I share how I intentionally broke all my work boundaries...how that's going...I bet you can guess!...and how I'm putting those boundaries back in place. I hope you find value in hearing my story and connecting with me in this raw way via the podcast. Thanks for listening!

+Get the free Recognition Worksheet in my Free Resource Library
Why is employee recognition important? There are many benefits to employee recognition when it's done intentionally.
+ I ask each of my employees "How do you like to be recognized?"
There are many ways to ask this question, but I feel it's the most straight forward way.
+ To honor the preferences of my employees, I give them examples of various recognition types. The free Recognition Worksheet I provided at the top of the description has so really great ideas. Of course, this isn't an exhaustive list.
I find that when I begin to look for behaviors that I can recognize, I find more gratitude in my work and working with those team members.
Gratitude - I find that when I begin to look for behaviors that I can recognize, I find more gratitude in my work and working with those team members.
When leaders spend time recognizing our employees at work, they feel appreciated and see that their work matters. They feel engaged and are less likely to turnover.
Here's a great white paper prepared by the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkley that talks all about gratitude and it’s benefits: https://ggsc.berkeley.edu/images/uploads/GGSC-JTF_White_Paper-Gratitude-FINAL.pdf
Tailor your recognition and be specific -
Once you know how your employee appreciates being recognized, be sure to tailor your recognition using their preferences.
Recognize your employee as close to the achievement or behavior you observed as possible. Knowing that their leader notices, acknowledges, and appreciates their recent work feels good and reinforces the employee to perform that positive behavior again.
Make Time for Recognition -
Schedule time on your calendar each day or once a week, whatever cadence works for you, for employee recognition.
