Sidebar aligns with my mission and purpose of helping people become the best version of themselves to create and live a life they are proud of.  I’ve invested thousands of hours (and dollars) in myself through executive coaching, masterminds, and mentorship programs, and it has transformed my life and career in a way that would not have been possible on my own. I am so proud to be a part of the positive impact that Sidebar is creating in the world. When we transform and impact the lives of leaders, the ripple effect is massive and far-reaching—this is why I’m here.
