My group provided unbiased support and valuable insight to give me the push I needed to have some hard conversations. Now I find myself applying those different perspectives to my daily work life and it's yielding amazing results.
Courtney Steinberg
VP of Finance
The group provides constructive feedback and encouragement that helps me reflect on actions and decisions I've made or need to make in my professional development. This has helped my self-awareness and decision making.
Mark Longmore
Director of Operations
I have a really good group. We are at similar stages career-wise. Three people who are expecting babies. Other folks have really young children. It's really hard to talk about work without what ELSE is on your plate. It's really nice to share that point of connection. It allows us to think BEYOND learning and growing in careers. There are a lot of other sides you have to take into consideration.
Haomin Xu
Product Design Manager
It’s refreshing to bring up an issue and realize I'm not alone. It’s great to hear perspectives across different geographies, industries, functions, and how they've solved it. It's sort of like phone a friend, but you get six very different takes, and some of them build on each other.
Diana Rothschild
Director of Retail
I've recently made big progress in locking down the business model, working with my business accelerator. These convos have given me a lot of clarity.
Glenn Block
CEO
Just had my first group session and it was great! Exceeded my high expectations. Looking forward to more of these.
Phil Carter
Growth Advisor
I've found the various talks I joined to be helpful and I really enjoy the variety of members. It's made me realize how isolated I've been.
Polly Barton
Artist & Owner
The group brain is so valuable!
Ida Wainschel Cools
CPO, CIO, CTO Advisory
I love to hear the different perspectives, allowing me to think about different angles of the problem I'm facing.
Brian Benitez
Executive Director
I can already see HUGE advantages in Sidebar's approach, particularly with the tech support. The Sidebar team clearly has a good process on the human side of things too.
Sondra Pepe
Senior Vice President
I love my group. I really appreciate having the space with different people from different industries.
Halimah Jones
Learning Manager
The facilitation has been great. I love the timer bar, the way the conversation is structured, the commitment and accountability.
Yeong-Ping Koh
VP of Product
I love that each meeting has unique goals, opportunities, feedback and areas for insights.
Elizabeth Carey Smith
Design Director
I've been impressed by Sidebar’s technology platform. The real time agenda tracker at the top of our weekly meetings really helps the group stay on track. I would love to implement something similar for my Microsoft Teams calls at work.
Jack Cowett
Senior Director
I've never been in a networking type setting where, so quickly, people are so supportive of one another and open about their challenges.
Jessica Dominiczak
CPO
I've been part of groups where there is no facilitator before. The facilitator makes a big impact, adjusting on the fly and pushing where it's important.
Victor Skrylev
CPO
The facilitator tooling is really good. The agenda tracker is brilliant!

Senior Director
