Sidebar has been a pivotal part of my career over the last two years. I was lucky to be a part of the beta and watch as Sidebar has evolved. It is easily one of the most meaningful parts of my week. Sidebar has developed a coaching methodology above and beyond any coach I've worked with before. They pair you with a group of extraordinary peers to meet every two weeks. I've developed deep relationships and the highest level of trust with my group. During the sessions, each person can bring a work or life problem that they working through to get feedback. My group always asks outstanding questions that push me to think differently. My favorite part of Sidebar isn't the feedback on my own problems, but the exposure I get to what the rest of my group is facing. I feel like I'm learning from five careers at once instead of just my own. Needless to say, I highly recommend joining Sidebar!

You’re the average of the people you keep closest; sidebar helps you raise that bar. HUGE proponent of this platform.

Sidebar is an amazing l&d product. I'm an early stage founder, and I've been a Sidebar member for 14 months. My Sidebar small group has helped me get dramatically better tactically, strategically, and emotionally at building my startup. I meet bi-weekly with 4 brilliant peers, who are all early stage founders. Each session is an intense coaching session with 4 world class entrepreneurs. We listen to each others' problems. Ask probing questions. And offer tactical advice. At the end of every session, we voluntarily sign up for goals and hold each other accountable in the next session. The public goal setting in front of peers I respect/admire is motivating, terrifying, and awesome. Love Sidebar. Love my small group.

I'm fortunate enough to be a founding member at Sidebar. I love the idea of having a personal board of directors that share professional interests and experience. Members can tap into a new level of coaching support, professional development, and peer-driven accountability. This team has just begun to scratch the surface of many industries where this will be invaluable.

As a community leader that has always believed in building your personal "Board of Directors" and bringing peers together to learn from one another, I'm proud to be a brand ambassador and super fan. Sidebar is a great concept with a great product & customer experience, and a great team behind it all. To all my Product friends, you should definitely check this out!

I have been a member of Sidebar for about 6 months now, and it has been amazing! It's been incredibly helpful to have a group of professionals who can help each other out with problems and give honest advice to each other.

I've been lucky to be working with people in Sidebar for a bit now and it's been amazingly helpful. Having a set of people who have similar goals and challenges, to talk with, that you trust, and can get help from makes a huge difference. As people get better at their craft and more senior in their careers, it becomes harder and harder to have a great, independent set of people to learn from and bounce ideas off of, Sidebar delivers on this. And the caliber of people is impressive and energizing.

Congrats on the launch, Lexy and Sidebar team! The focused on curation, vetting, and matching to create a "Personal Board of Directors" is a brilliant concept.

I’ve been using Sidebar for nearly a year. Outstanding: like a coach but far more relevant and current experience, and 10 of them.
