FOR LEADERS AND THEIR TEAMS

Turn business ambition into leadership behaviour.

Every business ambition depends on what your leaders actually do. SkillsGym turns your leadership priorities into measurable habits — practised week after week, across every leader and team.

The habit gap

Your leaders probably already know what good leadership looks like. That isn't the problem.

They know it.

They've done the workshops. Learned the models. Completed the e-learning.

They don't do it consistently.

Ask for feedback. Delegate properly. Coach instead of solve. Have the difficult conversation.

And you can't see what changed.

You can measure attendance and completion. Not whether leadership behaviour actually changed.

Leadership development doesn't fail in the training room. It fails in the weeks that follow.

SkillsGym was built for those weeks — turning the behaviours your business needs into habits that are practised, reinforced and measured every week.

Sarah Cherif, founder & CEO of SkillsGym

The intro

Twenty years of watching what actually changes people.

"A workshop is an event, and behaviour does not change through events. It changes through what someone does on a Tuesday afternoon, in a conversation they had been dreading, when nobody is watching."

We learned to bridge that gap by hand — breaking something enormous into something small enough to actually do. It worked. It just did not scale. SkillsGym is our answer: two decades of our trainers' work, built into a platform, so the other four hundred no longer have to wait their turn.

The SkillsGym Hub

You asked. We built it.

For years, our clients have been asking us the same questions.

Three inputs. One plan.

Most development listens to one voice. We build every plan from three:

The leader says what they think they need.
Their team answers the same questions about their leader. The two answers rarely match, and that gap tells you where to focus.
You set the leadership priorities the business depends on.

Nothing arrives unexplained. Development stays personal to the leader and stays aligned with where the organisation is heading.

Help every week, and a human when it counts.

Leaders don't wait for next year's training calendar. They get:

A live session every week with our trainers, covering 22 topics that each run twice a year.
An AI coach on demand.
Credits they spend the moment they need them: one-to-one coaching on a live situation, a practice lab with a business actor to rehearse a difficult conversation, or a private workshop for their team.

You decide whether those requests need your approval first.

Structure first. Freedom after.

New leaders don't need a library. They need to know what to do on Monday. Their intake pinpoints the one skill that matters most in their new role, and the team intake shows early how they're actually coming across. Our guided rollout lets you start with assigned skills and HR-built teams, then hand over the controls as they grow into the role. Before the conversation they've been dreading, they can rehearse it with a business actor.

One gym, open to the whole organisation.

Self-Leader seats give employees without a team their own intake, their own plan and all 50+ skill plans.
Member seats give everyone in a leader's team the habit their leader is working on. There's no seat charge and no cap.
Live tracks for self-leadership, communication and energy are open to everyone, because these aren't management skills.

The platform runs in Dutch, English and French. Bringing more people into scope also lowers the rate on every seat.

Leadership doesn't change in one person alone.

The team is part of the plan from the start:

They answer the intake about their leader.
They work the same habit, with the conversations that go with it.
Each week they give a 60-second pulse on what they're actually experiencing. It's anonymous and summarised, never named.

Leaders can also bring team members into a live session, run paired conversations, or book a private team workshop led by your trainer.

Behaviour, not completion.

Completion rates and satisfaction scores don't tell you whether anything changed. SkillsGym shows you:

which behaviours are changing, rated weekly by the people who work with the leader;
which habits are holding beyond four weeks;
what teams are experiencing, including confidence and psychological-safety signals;
where leaders have stalled or never started;
which leadership priorities need attention next.

Leaders also self-scan before and after every skill. For the first time, HR can answer a simple question: did leadership actually change?

The SkillsGym Hub is our answer.

A gym for leadership and self-leadership: personalised skill plans, weekly live training, team involvement, behavioural feedback and coaching when it's needed.

The leader journey

What it looks like from their side.

Five moments. From the first honest question to the proof it worked.

01The priorities

Focus is the new IQ

An intelligent intake narrows the real challenge to 1–3 skills. The leader, their team and your business priorities all have a say.

02The plan

A plan that could only be theirs

Three inputs become one sequenced plan. Nothing arrives unexplained — and the leader can challenge it.

03The practice

Small enough to actually do

Each skill becomes three habits and three conversations, practised inside the work they're already doing.

04The support

Never doing it alone

Weekly live training is included. Coaching and team workshops are there when they need more.

05The proof

Their team tells them it worked

The people who experience the behaviour rate what changed — not a completion bar.

The track record

Small habits. Visible business change.

Some examples of habits we've installed - what changes in the business

Vision-first meetings

Strategy stays at the centre of everyday decisions.

Delegate outcomes, not tasks

The result is clear, and the work stays delegated.

Coach before you solve

Ownership and capability grow instead of dependence.

End with feedforward

Feedback becomes forward-looking and low-friction.

Recognition that is specific

People know exactly what to repeat.

Protect strategic time

The few priorities that move the business get the hours.

“What am I missing?”

Dissent and blind spots surface before decisions close.

Recovery before depletion

Energy is managed before people hit exhaustion.

20+ years of transforming leadership

Measurement

Finally, HR can answer: did leadership actually change?

Not what people completed. What they're doing differently — and whether it lasts.

Most platforms report

– 84% completed

– 4.6 / 5 satisfaction

– 1,200 learning hours

– Course enrolments

– Time spent in the platform

Why this is different

Training transfers knowledge. SkillsGym changes behaviour.

What you are used toWhat SkillsGym does

Generic development→Personalised priorities

Learning outside the work→Practice inside the work

Completion→Observed behaviour

A one-off intervention→Continuous reinforcement

Everything that follows — the plan, the practice, the live support, the proof — exists to make the right-hand column happen every week, for every leader. Not once a year for a few.
