About

Kate Doerge is an authentic, personable, and dynamic motivational speaker, USA Today bestselling author, certified grief coach, and brand strategist. She is the Co-Founder and CEO of Penny’s Flight Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to finding a cure and funding research for Neurofibromatosis (NF) while inspiring others to live with positivity, hope, and purpose.

After enduring profound personal loss—losing her father, her mother, and her 16-year-old daughter, Penny, to complications from Neurofibromatosis—Kate chose to transform unimaginable grief into a national movement centered on hope, action, and possibility. Under her leadership, Penny’s Flight Foundation has established over 100 chapters at high schools and colleges across the country, inspiring young people to make a meaningful impact at any age. Kate also serves as a Board Member and strategic advisor for the Penny Doerge Adaptive Academy (PDAA) at the Hospital for Special Surgery, which organizes adaptive programs for children and teens facing physical disabilities.

Kate is the author of Reimagining Grief: A New Path to Finding Healing, Strength, and Joy after Loss (Hay House), where she introduces her practical, action-based framework to challenge traditional approaches to grief, adversity, and change. Through her signature "Reimagine Method," Kate helps corporations, healthcare professionals, educational institutions, and leadership teams think differently about the obstacles they face.

Guided by her core philosophy, "It’s not your lifespan that matters; it’s your wingspan," Kate’s presentations combine deeply inspiring storytelling with actionable tools. She equips audiences to navigate change, build emotional resilience, strengthen team connections, protect mental fitness, and lead with intentional purpose every day.
