Testimonials
Leadership Coaching Clients
"Paige helped me to identify areas of self improvement to be a better leader in the workplace and to create tangible ways to achieve them. She is a good listener and has infectious enthusiasm for what she does. Her positive attitude helps the client want to be there for the session and to come engaged and stay engaged. The positive results are obvious both in my attitude and the response from team members I have a role in supervising."
—Peter Chandler, Vice President, Federal Policy and Government Relations, TechNet
"In my time working with Paige, I found that she was authentic, engaging and invested in my growth. She took a holistic approach to coaching as opposed to simply my work. Her ability to relate my statements back to the goals we set as well as keep track of that progress was impressive. After our discussions, I felt more energized in my day and my work. Since our time together, I have implemented practices to meet situations head on, delegate more effectively and keep perfectionism from impeding action."
—Eva W., Senior Manager, US Tennis Association
“I believe in order to grow; a coach is essential. A coach, who is different from a mentor will challenge you to bring you very best self forward by helping you overcome limiting beliefs and get out of your own way. In my work as a DEI champion, Paige has been that coach for me. She has the ability to really listen to what I’m saying and what I’m not saying to get to the honesty behind the honesty. Paige is the perfect blend of care and accountability, and her thoughtful inquiry continues to move me forward in my professional life, which has also impacted my personal life because its all connected!”
—Cheryl Thompson, CEO + Founder, Center for Automotive Diversity, Inclusion & Advancement
"Paige is so enthusiastic and supportive. She is a natural coach and cheerleader, and was excellent at creating a conductive space for processing. I liked that she would say "I'm team Liz," but also ask questions to probe or challenge. In our coaching I was able to process a lot of emotionally challenging situations at work, and develop a couple coping strategies for dealing with the exhaustion I feel with them sometimes. And it gave me the confidence to pursue some strategies to address the underlying dynamics where possible."
—Liz, Senior Leader, Global Nonprofit
Consulting Clients
"As a member of the Brevity & Wit team, Paige has gone above and beyond to encourage other consultants, including myself, to step outside our comfort zone and grow in healthy and challenging ways. In short, Paige is a rare talent – smart, empathetic, enthusiastic, grounded, inclusive, strategic, and effective. She is able to hold conversations with leaders many years her senior and catalyzing lightbulb moments for them that lead to real change."
—Minal Bopaiah, CEO & Principal Consultant, Brevity & Wit
“I was first exposed to Paige Robnett when she facilitated multiple sessions for CADIA’s DEI Accelerator Program and was completely “wowed” by her presence, her knowledge and experience and most importantly her approach to engaging a large cohort in some very deep discussion around DEI. The thing that most impressed me was that she kept us all on the edge of our seats and she was facilitating our sessions virtually! She challenged us yet she made us so comfortable we felt we were sitting in the room right next to her. She also got us out of our comfort zones which resulted in everyone really being able to grow in this space. Since then, Paige has supported Dorman Products with our DEI efforts and has led learning sessions for our contributors including a robust session entitled “Inclusion in Action” at our annual ALL In Summit. We could not have been more pleased in her ability to really open the dialogue and understanding across our organization.”
—Christine Mobley, VP, Talent Management and D&I, Dorman Products
“We have been working with Paige for almost four years. Paige is incredibly thoughtful, intelligent and highly motivated. She has supported our work at CADIA by providing 1:1 coaching; we co-created a 12-week certification course in DEI and continue to evolve the program; she has facilitated meetings, taught workshops, and completed multiple projects on time, as promised, and with so much thought and intention. When we put her in front of clients we absolutely know she will do a great job. We give Paige a lot of credit for helping us shape and refocus many of our undertakings at CADIA. We are so glad she is part of our extended team. I could not recommend her more highly.”
—Margaret Baxter, Executive Director, Center for Automotive Diversity, Inclusion & Advancement
"Paige brings the highest level of diplomacy and excellence to all that she does. Her professional commitment to make sure every person's voice is heard, valued and recorded makes everyone believe that the impossible is possible. Working with her I know that I've got a partner who's got my back."
—Kimberly Dailey, CEO & Principal Consultant, Dailey Innovations
“Simply put, I would work with (or for) Paige in a heartbeat. Her facility for blending strategy with problem-solving is matched only by her seamless ability to forge powerful and lasting relationships. During my time as Paige's colleague at BE Equitable (formerly Cook Ross) and as her partner on the operating board of IDEAS Generation, I was privileged to experience Paige's ease working collaboratively and effectively with various stakeholders, managing and organizing complex projects, and creating the container for possibility and innovation. Rarely do you encounter someone so capable and inspiring; I consider myself lucky to be in her orbit.”
—Dan Egol, Executive Director & Cofounder at IDEAS Generation
Former Teammates
“Paige is an outstanding colleague that delivers with passion and positivity. She is solution-oriented, collaborative, and her work ethic is bar none. Paige has voluntarily gone above and beyond her roles and responsibilities to bring about organizational process improvements and has modeled inclusive leadership throughout the time we worked together at BE Equitable (formerly Cook Ross). She cares deeply about quality and consistently delivers her work with excellence. I'm so fortunate to have worked with Paige - she has taught me what tenacity can truly look like!”
—Meg Kiernan, DEIA @ Amazon Studios
“Paige’s DEI methodology, practice, enthusiasm, and overall strategy are second to none. As a forever mentee, I can pinpoint the moment my career went from DEI advocate to DEI leader; it was after I met and was trained by Paige Robnett. Her work is guided by data-driven insights, prioritizing results, managing leader expectations, and holistic organizational health. Paige’s guidance, advice, and mentorship gave me the foundation to become a respected DEI professional.”
—Necko Fanning, Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging, Cengage Group
“Years after I worked with Paige, she remains one of the very best colleagues I have ever had. To define that means so many things — hardworking, reliable, strategic, passionate, kind, creative. She would look at projects with fresh eyes and assess long-held processes in order to make major institutional improvements. One example is how she completely revamped AAUW's student leadership council. The program had run for years, even decades, and she scaled it, worked on marketing, and instituted programmatic changes that made it thrive. (It's a testament to her magnetic personality that the young women she mentored through that program still look to her as role model, even years later.) I knew that I could always rely on her, and that her work would be of the highest quality — no matter the constraints or challenges. That I was able to work beside someone so passionate, dedicated, and whipsmart (!) was truly a gift, and I am deeply grateful.”
—Renee Davidson, Vice President of Communications at Brady: United Against Gun Violence
“Paige has a relentless drive and keen attention to detail paired with the ability to easily transition into big picture thinking and planning. She's a project manager and relationship builder at heart. Paige is an asset to her teams and is continually recognized for her excellence. She is a go-to thought partner for me and someone who's gut I really trust. Trusting someone's gut may be an odd recommendation, but speaks to her character and emotional intelligence. Paige has training and community building experience that informs her work product and team-oriented work style. Paige brings an infectious energy and enthusiasm for everything she does and I would be thrilled to work with or for her again.”
—Anne Bowersox, Director of Development Partnerships at League of Conservation Voters (LCV)
“Paige has outstanding energy, compassion, critical thinking and interpersonal skills which makes her a great team member and leader. Her facilitation skills are outstanding. Paige project management and consulting skills are a great asset for organizations looking to enhance and excel in their growth strategy. She is solutions-oriented always and is never afraid to tackle complex challenges head on.”
