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!

Our thoughts have so much power. I've had a lot of time to think over the last year because of the pandemic -- being at home more, being in quiet spaces more.
I’m sure you’d found yourself with your thoughts too — maybe you’ve felt “stuck with your thoughts” or “finally, I’m alone with my thoughts!” Or maybe if you’re like me, you’ve felt both feelings and somewhere in the middle at times.
An interesting observation I’ve noticed and also heard articulated on other podcasts, like Simon’s Sinek’s episode with Sara Blakely, the founder of Spanx, is that from a very young age, we’re taught “what to think,” not “how to think.”
Whoa...
When something happens to you, or for you as I like to say, the way you think about it and react has everything to do with the trajectory of your life moving forward.
🎧In today's Glow Getters podcast episode, I'm breaking down my tips for "how to think" that will help us control our thoughts so we can show up as our best selves. Our happiest, our most positive, our most joyful, our most resilient selves.
In this episode, I’m going to give you my best tips so that you can always sort out your inner voice, find strength in what you know to be true, get curious to learn more and find out why, and ultimately ensure that your actions from your thoughts, lead you in an upward, positive trajectory rather than in a downward spiral.

Is your to-do list 8 pages long (like mine?!) 🤦🏼‍♀️ Join me for this road trip edition podcast where I talk about why leaders who make lists are THE BEST.  And better yet, I share my method for organizing the chaos in my busiest work season and how it can help you too. Bonus, I also share about why taking time off makes you a better leader. I know...just when you think you can’t take off is actually when you need to take a day or five. I got you! Send me a DM on Instagram and let me know if you agree or disagree after listening to the episode.

Hello, March! 🌻
🌱The grass is starting to peak out from underneath the snow in my yard.
🌞The sun is shining more each day.
🐇The days are getting longer...Spring is coming!
A change in season always feels like a time for renewal.
We find ourselves shedding that winter brain and looking for new energy.
👀So...IT'S CHALLENGE TIME! {Here's your invitation!}
This month, we'll focus on routines, specifically habits and rituals.
➡️I am running a 21 Days to Badass Habits Challenge using Jen Sincero's book, "Badass Habits - Cultivate the Awareness, Boundaries, and Daily Upgrades You Need to Make them Stick."
➡️Swipe to see the calendar we'll follow!
➡️I will guide you through each day, so no need to purchase the book; however, I highly recommend it!
➡️Everyday, I'll have a post on my feed and in my stories with the daily habit topic. I will have a call to action for each day.
🥳At the end of the 21 Days (March 28th), folks who participated and were engaged by liking or saving my posts or commenting in my Call To Action boxes in my stories, will get a prize! {looking for suggestions on what it should be!}
If you're feeling like it's time to strengthen, create, or dump a habit you have, then this is a simple way to jump start that desire! The cool part about this is that you don't have to change your life 100% on day one. You do it incrementally over the 21 days!
👇👀If you're up for the challenge follow my posts and stories on instagram at @KaylaFaheyAhrndt. We start on Monday, 3/8!

+ As I draw, I’m sharing about how creativity helps us hold conflicting truths and helps us sort through ambiguity.
+In Barack Obama’s new book, “A Promised Land,” he talks about how leaders must have the skill to lead and make decisions in the face of ambiguity and even when there are multiple conflicting truths.
+I was inspired to speak on this after listening to Brené Brown’s recent podcast episode with President Obama. Definitely worth the listen.
