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.

Leadership Mindfulness 101: The Power of Pause and Why Slowing Down Speeds Up Success
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.

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!
