More about paula

Paula really gets to know her audience and the event planners so that she can deliver the most tailored and unique content every time.

Her authenticity and vulnerability really hits home with our program participants. In fact, according to our last survey, her Branding presentation was the most popular session all year. Not only that, but she is a true professional and values the relationships she makes with the organizations she chooses to work with. Give her a microphone and she will do amazing things!"

Nichole Velasquez, J.D.
Fellows Program Director
Leadership Council for Legal Diversity (LCLD)
Paula came highly recommended and our Firm has been working with her on a variety of DEI programs over the course of the past year.

Paula is an outstanding and knowledgeable DEI speaker, and has a great approach to managing the sensitivity and ever-evolving landscape of DEI today. Paula tailors her programs to fit the needs of your organization and is always very organized, detailed, professional and delivers each session beyond our expectations. She has an amazing knack for delivering an engaging, inspiring, and interactive DEI program in a virtual setting. Paula always provides tips and resources to aid in better understanding DEI in both a professional and personal capacity—which our team members greatly appreciate. Paula is always very responsive to any deadline or questions that I have requested, which makes working with her both easy and convenient. Companies working with Paula have an amazing asset and I thoroughly recommend Paula as a diversity and inclusion consultant.”

Chief Diversity & Attorney
Development Office, Thompson Coburn LLP
Paula Edgar is a joy to work with in addition to being an expert in advising law firms on the concrete steps they should be taking to advance diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

While speaking at our firm Paula was able to reach partners and other members of leadership where they were without minimizing the issues or putting the onus on Black attorneys and staff to fix the problems. Paula’s participation on our Black History Month panel led to a number of frank discussions throughout the firm in the weeks following her appearance that I hope will have a lasting impact. It is an honor and a privilege to receive the knowledge Paula imparts on her audience and I cannot recommend her any more highly.

I have collaborated with Paula Edgar on many programs where she has moderated or facilitated DEI discussions and workshops.

Paula is a consummate professional who takes the time to prepare for each program, ensuring that the client’s objectives are met. Her engaging and energetic personality allows her to easily connect with audiences when tackling difficult topics or providing strategic advice. I consider Paula one of the top DEI consultants in the legal profession and would highly recommend her services.

Manatt has had the pleasure of welcoming Paula Edgar to lead dynamic firmwide presentations this year.

Her sessions were customized and responsive to specific, real-time feedback from our participants and also utilized innovative tools allowing the group to engage in the discussions openly. These virtual presentations have allowed us to meaningfully connect with our professionals—despite their physical locations and working remotely—to further our diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives as a community.
