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
Why Getting Cut From a Team Gives Your Kid a GREAT Chance at a Career Later On
This past weekend I received a number of phone calls from parents as it was tryout weekend for boys and girls volleyball in the state of Wisconsin. I'm still amazed that some parents feel that the process or the decision that resulted in the child not making a team was somehow unfair or personal. One such parent I shared a thought with and that was "what do you think is the silver lining?" The parent said "I have no idea" in a very abrupt response. I said "I'm no longer involved in coaching or running a club so I don't have a vested interest per se but let me ask you again calmly what do you think is the silver lining and think about before you answer about the workplace and how employees maybe in your own organization do not accept change or difficult times?" The father paused, calmed down, and this ultimately led to a really productive conversation where I think he's in a better place to work with his kid to potentially get better but also change his relationship with the decision that was made. Had this father told his child which many parents do the process or the coach was unfair this will inevitably teach the kid to play the role of victim futuristically versus build the skills to overcome!
We need to build tomorrow's leaders today!
