Coaching Conversations in 2025
Coaching Conversations with Tim Hagen, where we teach leaders and managers how to coach their employees. This is the ideal podcast for leaders, managers, and aspiring leaders to improve their coaching and leadership skills to create a more positive coaching culture within their teams.
In 2025, we're doing weekly podcasts on various coaching topics and strategies that will rotate throughout the month, as opposed to 2024 where the weekly episodes featured a monthly theme. Coaching Conversations will continue to have four episodes per month and we're going to sprinkle in masterclasses, which will be lengthier, workshop-style formats.
We also invite you to join the new FREE e-publication, the Workplace Coaching Times founded by Tim Hagen. This weekly newsletter contains expert insights on coaching strategies on specific topics like sales coaching, leading with empathy, and self-awareness techniques, and much more. We're a community of leaders, managers and coaches transforming workplace challenges into coaching victories—one conversation at a time. Subscribe here: https://coachingtimes.beehiiv.com/subscribe

So this month we've really focused on something called reverse engineered coaching. How does it work? You know what? What if you collected or defined information you want to collect from your leaders? Do you know? I had a meeting with a client in New York and I'll never forget it, and it was years ago ago and it was a wealth management company, and we asked everybody the leaders how many of you have a list of what motivates your employees? Very few did. And I said how many of you know specifically what they want to do with their career? Very few did. Now, why is that important? Now I'm going to jump into the rabbit hole of motivation and career development.
Speaker 1:If I know someone wants to be a leader, if I know someone wants to work in marketing analytics, whatever it might be, I can bring that into my conversation. Such as John, you know, I think about what you're currently doing in your performance level and what if we raised it by 30%? Whatever that might mean? How do you think that might help you reach your goal of? And then fill in the blank, it creates immediate emotional attachment to what most people avoid personal change, what most people avoid personal change. So what if, instead of training and just practicing. We said what do you want to know? What if we define that those objectives for leaders? And said you know what? Go, get the information. That's what reverse engineered coaching is. It's about creating a bucket list of information we want to know. The only way you can get it is to do what? Ask really good coaching questions.
