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
Coaching Conversations in 2025
Asynchronous Coaching That Actually Sticks

When I think about coaching and I think about coaching leaders and I think about coaching individuals, most of the time when we think about coaching, we think about, you know, setting up a time to talk, getting on one another's calendar, and that's valuable. I am not discounting that. One of the things that we are steadfast on here at Progress Coaching, but I would also share with you on a very personal level, and it's called asynchronous coaching. Let me let me share with you what that means. So when I meet with my coach, you know, I get ready. I got to get ready. But I don't really capture things throughout the week to share with him. And it's not good or bad, it's just kind of the sheer nature of things. Asynchronous coaching is where you can actually share thoughts, observations, audios, texts, video messages on an ongoing basis. You know, my friend Mike Carroll, who is a great sales coach, owns a company called Intelligent Conversations. And he and I will voice text each other. And, you know, we both have shared, you know, hey, what's going on with your family? What's going on with your family? Well, here's our challenges. And then we do it with our businesses. And we ended up buying two vacation condos together. And um we we call it Sunday night properties because we have dinner every other Sunday night together. And we always talk about how it's been therapeutic. And his wife, Pam, and my wife, Beth, kind of laugh at us, like, why don't you just get on the phone? There's a value in sending someone a message and giving that person time to reflect and think about that message. So here's something really funny. I actually am in the midst of selling my house, and our agent, Michelle Zeller from Zeller Realty in Cedarberg, Wisconsin, she said, I'm gonna voice text you back. She goes, This is kind of neat to do this. And I said, Michelle, you don't have to get back to me right away. She said, Well, what I like is I now know what I have to go research versus meeting with you. She goes, Don't take it the wrong way. I said, No, no, no, I get it. So, what is asynchronous coaching? Now we have a whole platform that we've built that allows us to exchange um, you know, voice and text with our clients and documents and, you know, built in assessments to find out how people are doing, et cetera. And what's really interesting about it is it allows us to create a very strong cadence of interaction. So instead of waiting for next Friday's coaching session, someone can share about three or four things. So ironically, I have been asking Mike, you know, Sunday Night Properties, to coach me on sales. And we're reintroducing a new product to the marketplace. And I said, you know, Mike, I really would love someone to work with me. So he's on our platform, he provides me coaching at the end of the week. We get together, and I said, It's really interesting as a recipient of the coaching. He goes, Why? I go, I feel accountable to the process. But if I know I'm meeting with you next Friday and there's nothing in between, I'm really only accountable to that meeting. So if you're intrigued, send me a message, Tim at Sales Progress, or excuse me, Tim at progresscoachingleader.com. I just gave you an email address I uh just got rid of, but Tim at ProgressCoachingLeader.com or direct message me on LinkedIn. And we have a whole course called Cadence Coaching. We also do cadence coaching for individuals, we also do it for um leaders. And the whole concept is this, and that is that we will work with people specific to their imperatives and create a cadence of interaction to move in the direction of our desired outcomes, goals, and objectives. Cadence coaching is a form of asynchronous coaching. I think with people's busy schedules, it is an alternative that people absolutely love. Let me know your thoughts.
