About Dr. Kenlie
Dr. Kenlie Fite is a population scientist and learning and leadership development expert who believes meaningful growth happens when people have the opportunity to learn, reflect and put new ideas into practice.
As Founder & Chief Learning Officer of Fite Forward, Kenlie brings together behavioral science, experiential learning, leadership development and coaching to create learning experiences that help people better understand themselves, strengthen how they lead and work with others and turn insight into meaningful action.
Her work spans organizations, classrooms, coaching conversations and communities, but the purpose remains the same: helping people learn, grow and move forward with intention.
Kenlie regularly designs and facilitates leadership development experiences for professionals and organizations across the country. She also serves as a university professor, bringing her background in public health and behavioral science into the classroom to help students understand people, culture and the systems that shape our experiences.
Kenlie holds a Doctor of Public Health in Leadership in Social and Behavioral Sciences and a Master of Public Health from Tulane University. She is also a Certified Professional Christian Life Coach and Certified Higher Education Professional.
Whether she's facilitating a leadership program, teaching, coaching or sharing ideas with a broader audience, Kenlie's approach is practical, encouraging and grounded in a simple belief: meaningful progress doesn't require perfection. It requires a willingness to learn and take the next step.
Beyond the Work
Kenlie lives in Colorado Springs with her husband, Michael, and their two Miniature Schnauzers, Oliver and George.
Her faith is foundational to who she is and informs the way she approaches life, relationships and work. Outside of Fite Forward, you'll often find her spending time with family and friends, teaching, reading, traveling, exploring Colorado or enjoying a good conversation over coffee.
Kenlie believes our professional and personal lives don't have to exist in separate boxes. The way we learn, lead, serve and care for people is shaped by who we are—and she's committed to continuing to learn and grow right alongside the people she serves.
