How do you know if you're doing a good job?

You need feedback to learn and grow, but how do you get the focused input you need? And if your boss is stingy with pointers and advice, how do you encourage them to give you more? Who else should you be asking to help you improve? And do you know how to receive feedback? Can you "work" with feedback without compulsively accepting everything as true or discarding it as false because it's emotionally too overwhelming? If you haven't fully mastered this skill yet, you are missing out on many growth opportunities and a better life. Research shows that feedback-seeking behavior is one of the best predictors of better performance and job satisfaction.

Focus on What Truly Matters for Your Growth

Are you overwhelmed by the abundance of feedback in your life? In our program, we guide you to identify 'The One Thing' that holds the key to your personal and professional development. Drawing inspiration from the 80/20 Rule, Adam Grant's 'Best Reflected Self,' and the concept of 'Pointing Out Excellence,' you'll pinpoint the specific area where feedback can make a significant impact. This personalized approach ensures you invest your energy where it truly matters for your growth and success.

Efficiency in Feedback Collection

Time is valuable, and continuous improvement should be seamless. Our program empowers you to craft a standard, go-to question for soliciting feedback, following Sheila Heen's wisdom. This question streamlines the process, allowing you to receive valuable insights quickly and consistently. No more guesswork or uncertainty; with this skill, you'll continuously elevate your personal and professional life with ease.

Master Your Emotional Responses to Feedback

Feedback can often trigger strong emotions. Our program equips you with the tools to manage your feedback triggers effectively. By understanding and controlling your emotional responses, you'll not only become more open to constructive feedback but also better equipped to provide it to others. Transform the way you engage with feedback and unlock the potential for growth within yourself.

Strengthen Relationships and Enhance Results

Effective feedback isn't just about personal development; it also impacts your interactions and outcomes. As you master the art of focused feedback and emotional management, you'll enhance your communication skills, build stronger relationships, and achieve better results in both your personal and professional life. This program equips you with the tools to create a feedback culture that fosters continuous improvement and drives success.

Master the skill of asking for and receiving feedback (basic)

Build the skill, by mastering the sub-skills first.

After the kick-start webinar, you will practice building tiny habits (so small you will have no reason not to do it) in the workflow or in your personal life. You will build this skill habit-by-habit, conversation-by-conversation, focusing on 3 sub-skills.

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.
