Hi from Kayla!
Hi, there!
I’m Kayla Fahey-Ahrndt, aka KFA! Thanks for taking a moment to get to know me.
My story:
Hi, there! I’m Kayla Fahey-Ahrndt, MPH, MLS(ASCP)SBB (aka KFA)! Thanks for taking a moment to get to know me.
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Clinical Laboratory Science from the University of Minnesota — Twin Cities with a national board certification in Medical Laboratory Science, and I’m a certified Specialist in Blood Banking. I also hold a Masters of Public Health from George Washington University.
I have 10 years of professional healthcare leadership experience, and I have 7 years of management experience. I currently work as a healthcare manager with system level oversite of a major service line.
Here’s a timeline of how I got started with this leadership and career coaching business! :)
2015…
Seven years ago, at age 25, I stepped into my first healthcare leadership role and was promoted quickly and became manager just before I turned age 28 (not to mention I was about to be a new mom—lots of change!). I had a moment (okay, moments plural) where I knew I needed to learn and grow in order to succeed in my new role.
I didn't find the young professional leadership advice I was looking for from Google or Pinterest (I know you checked there too...). So I dove into learning from books on leadership, business, and personal development. I listened to podcasts, took up mentors, and interviewed folks at work who I found successful.
2018…
While on maternity leave with baby #1 (because I didn’t have enough to do ;)) I decided to start sharing my learnings, tips, and advice on leadership via my podcast, on Instagram, on LinkedIn, and to my colleagues. People started reaching out to me saying my tips really helped them and gave them the confidence they needed each day to find success.
2020…
Finally in summer of 2020, my hubby suggested I start a YouTube channel. I was a huge skeptic, but he encouraged me by getting me a microphone for my birthday, so I decided to create my YouTube channel and start sharing videos of myself giving advice in addition to my podcast. I felt like people needed human connection and during the COVID-19 pandemic, I thought adding video would help myself and others know that we’re in this together because they could "see me,” not just hear my voice.
Leading through tough times and change are skills leaders must hone in and continuously improve and adapt for their teams. 2020 has only reinforced that and I have found that my foundation of leadership skills, mindset, and teachings has helped me and my team get through and even excel during these ambiguous times.
2021…
In July 2021, I launched version 1 of my Leader Standard Workbook! It’s my Leader Standard Work Template PLUS all my other tools that I used daily as a leader — like 1:1 meeting notes, project lists, goal setting, yearly road map templates, etc. The first version was digital to be used in Goodnotes or OneNote on your tablet or desktop. Since then, I launched version 2 of the digital Leader Standard Workbook and I have a physical workbook too. All my templates can be found in my shop linked here.
October of 2021 brought baby #2 after working through fertility struggles, so now hubby and I have a full house of pitter patter feet all the time. Plus we have our 60 pound lab/boxer mix, lapdog who loves to sleep with us and give kisses… It’s quite the full season, but family is so important to us - even without the sleep and with the mess, we love it. :)
In December of 2021, again, while on maternity leave (see a pattern? haha) I partnered with Maxwell Leadership, and I am now a Certified Maxwell Leadership Team Member — specializing in Leadership Coaching, Public Speaking, and Team Trainings around growth and development.
I opened KFAconsulting, LLC and I rebranded my website and all my social channels to match or use my full name.
Where are we today!?
I’ve created a course called “Career Kickstart” where I go through my 9-Step Career Checklist to help you get and stay organized, create systems to ensure your reliability and healthy productivity, and help you perform highly every day. If you’re interested in learning more, grab the checklist for FREE and watch the training. I’ll email you the links!
And…I’m making more courses as I learn more about what YOU need. I can’t wait to see and celebrate your wins with you!
Thank you again for taking the time to learn more about me and my journey as a leader!
I hope you will connect with me and join me on the journey of leadership!
Take care,
Kayla
