Why you should follow this program

The secret to living a longer, healthier life may be as simple as sleeping more. Your body gets one chance to recover and regenerate overnight. Unfortunately, a lack of good sleep is extremely common. So common that the World Health Organization has declared it a global health epidemic.

Matthew Walker, the director of UC Berkeley’s Center for Human Sleep Science, has investigated in-depth how neglecting sleep undercuts our creativity, problem-solving, decision-making, learning, memory, heart health, brain health, emotional well-being, immune system, and even our life spans. In his words, “the decimation of sleep throughout industrialized nations is having a catastrophic impact.”

Look, we know getting the sleep you deserve isn’t as simple as taking a pill and saying goodnight. Bedtime can be challenging, even if you're ready to fall asleep. But there is good news; there are science-backed protocols for getting good sleep, and the best practices aren't all as ambitious as 'make sure you get your eight hours of sleep.' Habit by habit, step by step, we'll help you build a protocol that gives you the sleep that you and your body deserve.

Meet your trainer

At the kickstart of your 6-12 week skills development program, you will follow a webinar delivered by Nils Maes, co-founder of SkillsGym Health. Here are a few things you might like to know about him:

Nils' 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

Nils embodies the principles of our SkillsGym Health programs in his daily life. His routine includes tailored workouts, breathwork, and cold exposure, leveraging his expertise as a certified Wim Hof instructor. Additionally, he prioritizes quality time with his partner Sarah and his son. To maintain his sanity, Nils seeks solace in nature in his beloved 4x4, preferably exploring the wilderness in Alaska.

20+ years of impact

SkillsGym Health uses the same habit-focused method that has become synonymous with SkillsGym's approach. This method has assisted numerous world-class organizations such as Samsung, Deloitte, and Ikea, along with thousands of managers and their teams, in enhancing their soft skills. Now, SkillsGym extends its expertise by offering programs designed to expedite the mastery of 50 essential leadership, team, and well-being skills.

Fun fact

Fun fact about Nils: Despite his reputation as a disciplined athlete committed to his daily routine, he also embraces the 70% rule for building a healthy lifestyle. Nils believes in sticking to good habits 70% of the time while indulging in less healthy choices for the remaining 30%, adding balance and flexibility to his approach. We'll leave it up to him to share more about that 30% in his programs!
