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!

Day 3 of the 12 Days of Leadership
The TEST Method: A Delegation Framework Every Leader Needs to Know (Day 3 - The 12 Days of Leadership)
If you're overwhelmed, stretched thin, or constantly doing tasks your team could be doing, this episode is your permission slip to step into real leadership — not constant doing.
On Day 3 of the 12 Days of Leadership series, we’re diving into one of the most powerful (and most avoided!) leadership skills: delegation. Whether you're a new manager learning how to lead for the first time or a seasoned leader trying to get out of the weeds, today’s episode gives you a simple, repeatable framework you can use immediately.
You’ll learn my signature TEST Method of Delegation:T — TeachableE — ExcitedS — StrengthT — Try (Willingness)
This framework helps you decide what to delegate, who to delegate to, and how to do it in a way that builds trust, confidence, and capability on your team — not micromanagement, confusion, or rework.
We’ll also cover:✨ Why leaders struggle to delegate (and how to overcome the mental barriers)✨ How to avoid burnout through task redistribution✨ How delegation increases efficiency, accountability, and team ownership✨ The 80/20 rule: When “good enough” is the right standard✨ How delegation frees you to focus on strategic leadership and long-term impact
If you want to stop firefighting, lead more intentionally, protect your energy, and focus on higher-value work, today’s episode will change everything.
👉 Keywords: delegation framework, how to delegate as a new manager, leadership delegation tips, avoid burnout at work, leadership development for managers, improving team accountability, prioritization for leaders, effective leadership skills, management training, productivity for leaders, executive leadership development
✨ Want support with delegation? Enrollment for The Organized Leader Sprint is open now until 12/16/25! Learn more information here and grab your spot (we start on 1/13/26) - https://www.kfaconsulting.org/sprint

Leadership Mindfulness 101: The Power of Pause and Why Slowing Down Speeds Up Success
In this episode of the Get Organized at Work Podcast, leadership coach and working mom Kayla Fahey-Ahrndt explores why slowing down is one of the most powerful tools a leader can use to increase clarity, strengthen decision-making, and improve results.
Through the lens of leadership mindfulness, Kayla shares how intentional pause moments create space for strategic thinking, reduce reactivity, and help leaders stay aligned with their goals. She draws parallels to healthcare’s “pause for the cause” safety practice, highlights real stories from her own leadership journey, and explains why this season of the year is the perfect time to hit reset.
You’ll learn how to build micro-pauses into your day, plan a “CEO of My Career Day” during the slower holiday weeks, and use stillness to regain focus and consistency. Kayla also shares insights from her clients inside The Organized Leader Sprint, where leaders use the pause to reclaim time, protect energy, and lead with intention.
💡 Key takeaway: Stillness creates clarity — and clarity fuels consistent leadership.📣 Join us: Come inside the free community for the Weekly Reset Check-In.⏳ Next Sprint: Enrollment for The Organized Leader Sprint opens December 1st.

You Don’t Have to Hustle to Be a Great Leader: How to be a Purpose Driven Leader

Kayla reveals the difference between being productive and being purposeful, how to apply her 50% or less in meetings rule, and how her client Kim found clarity and calm through proactive scheduling.
