Hi there!

I'm Sarah Cherif, and I'm so excited to welcome you to this program for Performance Management. For the last 20 years, I've been helping people and teams master essential skills for performance management. I'm so passionate about it, I was part of the teaching team in the master program at Antwerp Business School for years. It's not by doing something really hard once or twice, but through consistency, and having more and better conversations with your team. I will be hosting the webinars in this program personally because I'm dedicated to guiding you every step of the way. Together, we'll embark on a journey to develop the skills that will help you get the most out of your performance management. Let's get started!

Meet your trainer

At the kickstart of your 3 - 6 week skills development program, you will follow a webinar delivered by Sarah Cherif, founder and CEO of SkillsGym. Here are a few things you might like to know about her:

Sarah's background

Sarah began her career at the University of Ghent with degrees in child education and philosophy, quickly realizing her passion for teaching. Faced with the challenge of helping seasoned leaders develop soft skills without any prior corporate experience, she turned this disadvantage into a strength by creating evidence-based, sure-proof plans to build strong soft skills through habit formation and impactful conversations.

Personal life

Sarah's roots are Belgian and Tunesian, and she partially grew up in Washington DC. She currently lives in Belgium with her partner Nils (who is co-founder of SkillsGym Health), and has a dog named Lizzy.

20+ years of impact

Together with her SkillsGym team, Sarah has helped numerous world-class organizations like Samsung, Deloitte, Ikea... and thousands of managers and their teams improve their soft skills. SkillsGym now offers programs to accelerate the mastery of 50 essential leadership, team and well-being skills.

Fun fact

Sarah tests all the habits and conversations in the SkillsGym offer herself; that's more than 200+ habits and 200+ conversations. Most of them have become second nature. Yet, as you'll learn in the webinars, she isn't shy to talk about the failures and frustrations along the way.
