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!

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
