Mickey Fitch-Collins, PhD, is a leadership educator with a rare blend of academic rigor, lived experience, and refreshingly human insight. With a doctorate in Leadership in Higher Education and a career spanning academia, ed-tech, and corporate training, she has collected a lifetime of learning and development wins, pitfalls, and plot twists—and she brings all of it to her work with disarming honesty.
At Learnit, Mickey transforms essential human skills—communication, empathy, self-awareness, resilience—into practical, scalable strategies that elevate people and, in turn, entire organizations. Her approach is grounded, adaptive, and shaped by a career that has taken her everywhere from literally teaching people how to fish, to helping colleagues recover and rebuild after 9/11, to leading diverse teams across multiple sectors.
Mickey’s workshops and talks weave together research-backed leadership models, memorable storytelling, wry humor, and deeply relatable real-world scenarios. Whether she’s unpacking a “supervision gone sideways” story, sharing a razor-sharp AI prompt, or introducing a new framework for modern leadership, her insights land with clarity, warmth, and staying power.
A natural storyteller and seasoned facilitator, Mickey doesn't just teach leadership—she sparks the kind of conversations people carry with them long after the session ends. She is also the host of The Learnit Lounge podcast, where she explores the evolving landscape of work, learning, and human connection.
