How’s It Work?
Sign on and Reflect
SIgn in to sideby! Make sure to click at the top “for…” to select your Crew and what you’ll be using sideby “for.” Enter your specific “Crew Access Code” given to you by your Network Chair.
Click to reflect, hop into the software we use for our guided sessions.
Click enter.
Make sure you enable your video and audio.
It’ll say “searching for partners” so just wait a moment while it sends you to a reflect.

Finish reflecting! Ideas and matches come next…
