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 12+ 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!

Why you can never get things DONE! Plus the secret to TRUE PRODUCTIVITY in the cycles of our lives
Today I have an awesome topic for you. We're talking about cycles in our life that are just never done. The ones that keep going and going and going. I'm going to give you a mindset shift you can use if you're struggling to get things "completely done!" If you started out the year with good intentions, set goals or resolutions, and you've missed a day and felt like quitting on your goals because you didn't do things perfectly, I feel you. We talk about how it's okay to miss a day and how, in fact, your progress is still good progress. We talk about "all or nothing thinking" or "black and white thinking," and we also discuss how this is related to "cycles" in our lives. I share how I've struggled with laundry and how using this mindset shift that I share in this episode helped me actually get my laundry to a manageable place. You will leave today's episode feeling like you can get your shit that you need done without shame and without getting it completely done all the time.

My 2024 Word of the Year is "Approach." As I started analyzing how my leadership business, KFA Consulting, did in 2023, I started to learn the difference between Avoidance vs. Approach goals. I listened to the Mel Robbins Podcast with guest, Dr. Luana Marques, who explains how the solution to avoidance is to approach which is science based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). A few days into 2024, I heard Jay Shetty's, Daily Jay Wisdom on the Calm App. His lesson was called, "Run To, Not From." In his lesson he says, "Researchers describe two types of goals: approach goals and avoidance goals. Both can help you achieve your objectives, but when you're running toward something, you get more enjoyment and learning from your success." This has inspired me to really lean in, step up to the plate, be at the table, and "approach" my goals this year with a renewed sense of grace and excitement. I'm here to be present and enjoy the process of growing and nurturing a community around helping professionals, who are doing it all, get and stay organized plus feel confident and empowered in their daily activities. Let's go! I hope you enjoy this episode!

From December 1st through December 12th, we’ll be exploring career, leadership, planning, and organization tips. I’ll be providing tools, templates, strategy, and mindset to help you elevate your professional or leadership experience.
I did a poll on my Instagram (@KFAconsulting), and most of you wanted tips related to organizing your work (projects, to do’s, email, etc.) and help figuring out what’s holding you back from success. We’ll explore all of that this week.
After our 12 days together, you will still have access to this content. You will essentially have a mini course on leadership for free. There will be a YouTube Playlist as well as a page on my website (https://www.kfaconsulting.org/podcast) dedicated to these lessons in case you miss any in real time or you want to go back and revisit and specific topic.

Welcome to the Leadership Unveiled Podcast!
Today is Day 9 of The 12 Days of Leadership!
Today we're talking about setting systems with habits so that we can stay in the game instead of setting goals as a means to an endgame. I share how Leader Standard Work is part of that system and helps you determine what's most essential. We discuss a story and topics from the book, "Essentialism," by Greg McKeown.
+ My Leader Standard Work Template
My favorite books related to habits are:
*Essentialism by Greg McKeown
*Badass Habits by Jen Sincero
*Atomic Habits by James Clear
*The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy
