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!

High performing leaders need more than strategy in their back pocket. They need three key focus areas that allow them to personally develop and improve their mindset, set clear expectations and boundaries, and utilize standard tools and templates to set strategy. In today's episode, I dive into each focus area in depth as well as share how each area will improve different aspects of your wellbeing and success as a leader.

What do you think of when you hear the word "productivity?"
For many, productivity gets a bad reputation. It just sounds "icky." It's a buzz word we all use to promote our hustle culture. There's a time and place for hustle, but I'm here to share that the hustle (except for my favorite 70's disco) is not sustainable long term.
So instead, I've recently started to talk about "healthy productivity."
In today's episode, I'm defining "healthy productivity" and sharing what it feels like. No bad reputation here! (And with that, I'm now listening to Taylor Swift's Reputation album...love.).
Healthy Productivity looks and feels like...
Not feeling addicted to working
Accomplishing your intentional focus
The tasks you did move your work forward so you know it was the right intention (even if it fails or you learn something)
You find internal gratitude and excitement for what you’re doing vs. seeking applause or praise to stay motivated
You come up with new ideas for improving the work or doing it different or more efficiently. You keep innovating and continuously improving
You’re excited when you sit down to work
You feel pulled or drawn to the work
If you don’t feel these things..Unhealthy Productivity may be a result of...
Alignment issues - Is this the right work right now
Values issue - Is this counter to my ethics, morals, or maybe I don't understand or agree with the "why" behind the work
Tired or burned out and need a break or space from the work
Pushed to the work, no internal motivation
Too much work and your energy is spread too thin

Y’all! Glow Getters Podcast is 100 episodes young! It’s amazing to me that an idea I once had has turned into 3 or 4 years of slow, steady progress.
Did you know the podcast has had different names over the years?
2018 - “Cerulean” (going to be only about my art)
2018 - “Koffee with Kayla” (about more dimensions of me)
2019 - “Glow Getters Podcast” (focused on leadership and living a vibrant life!)
I thought the podcast would be a creative outlet and a way for me to connect with more people. I had no idea the thoughts and tips I shared would resonate with so many of you.
1. You don’t have to burn to the ground before you take care of yourself or rest.
The Instagram Meme Making Me Cringe
2. Listen more, say less.
How to Host Better 1:1’s
Effective Communication — Avoiding…“I heard it Through the Grapevine”
3. Go slow to move fast is the idea that you take thoughtful time to understand the root cause of the problem before you take action.
4. The compound effect is so powerful.
Stomp out FEAR and turn it into ACTION with these tips!
5. How do you eat and elephant; one bite at a time.
Persistence vs. Tenacity—Do you practice these 4 steps?
6. Boundaries are hard but if you use them you’re being kind - “Clear is kind.” -Brene Brown.
Breaking All The Work Boundaries + How To Put Them Back
My BIGGEST Leadership Pet Peeve! How to STOP doing THIS and THRIVE!
7. It’s important to turn inward to hear your own voice, learn, and then trust yourself.
4 Reflection Prompts to Try Today - Monthly Reflection (August was..., September will be...)
My 7 Tips to Go Beyond Your Upper Limit
8. Just start - progress is better than nothing.
95. The Pain of Perfectionism
Why Be Brave Enough to Suck?
9. Efficiency and productivity aren’t about checking the box, but about focusing on what matters.
How to Prioritize Your Daily To Do List - Leave Happy Tasks
How to Time Block and Work Without Interruptions
10. Discipline/Surrender - The right combination leads to Flow.

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.
