Tim Hagen

Progress Coaching is a pioneer in the workplace coaching movement with over 26 years of experience helping organizations increase engagement, develop and retain top talent, and create a strong workplace culture by developing managers into coaches!

What we do: 

Using our proven methodology and training system, we will create a custom coaching strategy that:

✅ Saves your organization (and your managers) TIME and MONEY
✅ Speaks directly to YOUR sales or service processes
✅ Promotes and drives YOUR organizational values
✅ INCREASES ENGAGEMENT and REDUCES TURNOVER through a culture of coaching and feedback

You name it, we’ve built it! NO MATTER WHAT the scenario, we can provide a coaching solution – guaranteed!

How it works: 

⭐ We’ll assess your organization’s current culture and goals
⭐ Design a coaching strategy that fits your unique needs
⭐ Deliver training through virtual workshops, online courses, and on-demand resources 
⭐ Facilitate group & one-on-one coaching that addresses YOUR real-life workplace challenges!
⭐ Provide on-going support you can count on! 


Why it works:

✅ Relieve the burden from HR: instead of deferring to HR for every tough conversation or performance issue, managers learn how to have coaching conversations that create strong connections, build trust, and inspire action! 

✅ L&D teams are supported: managers will learn how to structure their conversations to increase performance and become partners in driving the training & development initiatives your organization is already doing!

✅ Managers save time: managers will learn techniques to engage with employees and inspire positive change in as little as 8-12 minutes per week using our proven 4-step coaching conversation model! Through supplemental coaching strategies, managers will learn to scale their time and drive development without even being present! 

✅ Adults learn best when the material directly applies to them, and traditional training alone does not accomplish this. Our PODs format is survey-driven, targeting participants' actual workplace management and coaching challenges, with instruction, discussion, activities, and practice!

Thank You, Milwaukee Brewers! ⚾💙

What an incredible day! A huge thank-you to the entire Milwaukee Brewers organization for hosting such an energizing and engaging training experience. 

Your team showed up with full heart, full focus, and full commitment—and it made all the difference.

From the moment we kicked off, it was clear: this is an organization that believes in its people just as much as it believes in the game. The enthusiasm, the openness to learn, and the willingness to jump in and participate made the day not just productive, but genuinely inspiring.

There’s something special about the Brewers culture—where teamwork isn’t just talked about, it’s lived. Where everyone supports each other like they’re in the ninth inning with the game on the line. And where leadership shows up with humility and hunger to keep getting better.

- Thank you for your energy.

- Thank you for leaning in, asking questions, and bringing your best.
- Thank you for not inviting Chris Rothwell to lunch!

Most of all, thank you for reminding me why coaching matters—because when a group like this comes together, growth feels electric.
Here’s to continued development, stronger teams, and a season filled with big wins on and off the field. Let’s keep swinging for greatness! 💪⚾💛

AI Didn’t Replace Coaching — It Put a Spotlight on It

The AI Revolution: A Leadership Opportunity Like Never Before

In today's leadership landscape, AI is revolutionizing how tasks are managed, freeing up valuable time for leaders. With smart technology handling scheduling, reporting, and data tracking, leaders now have the opportunity to focus on what truly matters - coaching and human connection.

As AI streamlines workflows and boosts efficiency, a crucial question emerges: how will leaders utilize their newfound time? Will they dive into coaching, nurturing growth and development, or simply get caught up in emails and administrative tasks?

This junates a pivotal moment where Artificial Intelligence's precision meets human leadership's empathy and personal touch. While AI excels at organization and speed, it can never replace the human touch of belief, encouragement, and growth-oriented conversations.

The key for modern organizations lies in leveraging AI as a tool for human development, not a substitute. By embracing AI as a partner in fostering a coaching culture, organizations can thrive in this new era of leadership evolution.

To guide you on this transformative journey, let's embark on exploring the four dynamic stages of cultivating a coaching culture that flourishes alongside the AI revolution. #LeadershipDevelopment #AIRevolution #CoachingCulture Association for Talent Development (ATD) Training Magazine

How the AI Revolution Is Creating the Biggest Leadership Opportunity of Our Lifetime We’re living in a wildly exciting moment in leadership history. F

When AI Gives Leaders Time… Will They Use It to Coach or Just Catch Up on Email?

Training Magazine / Training Conference & Expo

Most leaders say they're open to change, but the truth shows up when AI starts knocking on the coaching door.

AI isn't coming for our jobs. It's coming for our excuses.

A smart coach isn't threatened by a tool that can surface new insights, spot patterns faster, or even ask questions we might miss. A smart coach gets curious.

I've seen it firsthand. Managers who lean into AI as a partner end up with more time for real conversations, not less. They're freeing themselves from the spreadsheet trap and actually getting to coach. 

But here's what no one wants to admit: the biggest barrier isn't tech. It's ego.

Are you willing to let a machine make you better? Or are you clinging to old habits because they're comfortable?

The future of coaching isn't about robots taking over. It's about leaders who choose to adapt, use new tools, and get a little uncomfortable in the process.

The only thing standing between you and next-level coaching is your willingness to learn.

So, ask yourself—are you ready to lead the change, or are you waiting to be disrupted?

Let’s face it, most workplace training disappears faster than a donut at a Monday meeting.

Why is that? 
Because information fades. People go back to their busy routines and rarely revisit what they’ve learned. All that time, money, and energy invested in training often gets lost in the shuffle.

But there’s a shift happening right now, and AI is leading the charge.

Imagine this: An employee completes a training course. They walk away feeling good, a little more confident. But then, reality kicks in. Meetings pile up, priorities shift, and within days that new skill takes a back seat.

A week later, just as they’re about to forget, AI steps in. 
It sends a scenario right to their inbox—personalized, relevant, something directly tied to their day-to-day work. The employee responds, and in return, they get quick, focused feedback that actually helps them use the new skill in the flow of work.

It doesn’t stop there.

AI keeps listening, learning, and watching for patterns across the team. Maybe several people are stuck on giving constructive feedback. Maybe managers struggle to coach through tough conversations. AI flags those trends and arms leaders with targeted, practical strategies to coach in the moment.

Now, instead of a “one and done” training session, you have ongoing learning and real-time coaching happening week after week. Employees get what they need, when they need it. Managers don’t have to guess where to focus—they have data and recommendations at their fingertips.

This is what a true coaching culture looks like in 2024.

The best part? It’s not about replacing human managers or coaches. It’s about using technology to support them, close skill gaps, and keep development alive every single day.

What if your organization could turn every training investment into lasting behavior change? 
It’s not just possible. It’s happening now.

Ready to move past training that gets forgotten? 
It’s time to build a workplace where learning actually sticks.

The QALMS Framework: How It Makes Training Stick

Most managers think managing and coaching are the same thing. 

But here’s the truth.

Managing is about tracking tasks and making sure things get done. Coaching is about helping people grow and unlocking their best. 

There’s a big difference.

A manager gives instructions, sets deadlines, checks progress. A coach asks questions, listens, and helps people find their own answers. 

That difference might sound simple, but it changes everything.

When you coach instead of just manage, your team feels seen. They feel trusted. They feel like they matter. 

And you start to notice something else, too.

Turnover goes down. People actually want to stay. Engagement goes up. Performance follows. 📈

I’ve seen this firsthand with leaders who make the switch. The energy changes. Morale rises. People go the extra mile because they feel invested in. 🌱

So here’s the real question:

Are you managing your team, or are you coaching them? 🤔

The results speak for themselves.

What do you think makes a bigger impact, managing or coaching?
Share your thoughts below, like if you agree, and follow for more leadership insights.

Most managers think they're coaching their teams.
But in reality, they're just telling people what to do.

Here's where it goes wrong.

The typical "coaching" conversation is actually a series of instructions or feedback sessions.
Managers assume they're guiding, but employees walk away feeling micromanaged, not empowered.

I've seen this pattern dozens of times:
- Manager: "Here's what you should do."
- Employee: Nods, leaves, and nothing changes.

Why?
Because real coaching isn't about giving the answer.
It's about drawing out ideas, building confidence, and helping people solve problems themselves.

A good coach asks questions like:
"What have you tried so far?"
"What’s getting in your way?"
"What would a successful outcome look like for you?"

Coaching is about listening more than talking.
It's trusting your team to think, not just obey.

Next time you’re about to give advice, pause.
Ask one more question instead.

That shift is the key to transforming managers into true workplace coaches.

I see it all the time: companies invest in coaching training, and nothing changes.

Hundreds of managers sit through a day or two of workshops. Trainers deliver their best tips. Everyone leaves feeling inspired.

But fast forward a month, and it’s back to the usual routines.

Why? Because there’s almost never any real follow-up.

It’s easy to check the box and say, “We did coaching training.” 
It’s much harder to turn new skills into daily habits.

Without structured follow-up and ongoing practice, most managers revert right back to how they’ve always led. 
And nothing shifts for their teams.

Here’s the pattern I see:
- Managers attend training
- They jot down some good ideas
- They go back to their overloaded desks, and real life takes over
- A month later, the training binder is collecting dust

The solution isn’t complicated, but it does take commitment.

If you want coaching to stick, make follow-up part of the plan from day one.
- Schedule short check-ins for managers to share what they’ve tried and what’s getting in the way
- Encourage peer-to-peer discussions to keep ideas alive and fresh
- Offer quick practice sessions or role-plays to build confidence

It’s not about doing more training days.
It’s about creating a space where coaching gets practiced, talked about, and improved week after week.

The difference between “training” and real change? 
How you follow up.

If you want managers to coach better, don’t let the conversation end when the workshop does.

Most training has Fractional Success.

Not because people don't want to improve, but because after the workshop ends, nothing sticks.

Here's what nobody admits: If you're not reinforcing training, you're throwing money away.

Coaching is the only real solution.

It's not a nice-to-have. It's the number one way to get results.

Training without coaching is like building a house without a foundation. The knowledge fades, the skills vanish, and the investment is wasted.

But add coaching? Suddenly, people are engaged. They remember. They apply. Habits change for good.

I've seen teams who tried everything else. Only when they made coaching the core of their reinforcement did performance actually improve.

If you're serious about results, stop hoping training alone will work.

Double down on coaching. Make it your standard—not an afterthought.

Ready to actually see change? Start reinforcing your training with coaching now.

Most leaders say they're open to change.

But when AI enters the picture, that's when you see who actually means it.

AI isn’t here to replace managers. It’s here to expose every lazy habit and tired excuse.

You can ignore it, keep running the same old meetings, keep guessing what your team really needs. Or you can use AI to flip the script:

- Get instant feedback on your coaching sessions.
- Uncover blind spots you didn’t know you had.
- Make every conversation more targeted and useful.

I've worked with managers who went from playing it safe to using AI as a competitive edge. They’re not just collecting data—they’re turning it into real action. Engagement goes up. Retention gets stronger. And nobody’s asking for another boring training session.

But here’s the uncomfortable part—AI doesn’t care how long you’ve been in charge. It doesn’t care what your title is. It just shines a light on what’s working and what’s not.

If you want to stay average, stick with “that’s how we’ve always done it.”

If you want to lead, let AI tell you the truth—even when it stings.

Coaching cultures aren’t built on comfort. They’re built by leaders who use every tool, challenge every assumption, and keep moving forward.

The next generation of great managers won’t be the ones with the best answers—they’ll be the ones asking better questions, powered by AI, and hungry to improve.

Are you willing to get uncomfortable? Or are you settling for safe?

Turning your dream into action doesn’t have to be complicated. Start with these three pillars:

   𝟏. 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 – Make it specific, measurable, and time-bound. (“5 high-value clients by March” beats “more clients.”)

   𝟐. 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 – Do one thing today that moves you closer to your goal.

   𝟑. 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦, 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 – Small wins add up. Adjust weekly and celebrate progress.

Surround Yourself with Pull – Align with people, systems, and environments that lift you higher.

Clarity, action, momentum, and environment—the combination that pulls you toward real success.

If your days are driven by email, urgency, and constant reaction, it’s time to shift from busy to strategic.

Here’s a simple rhythm to help you reclaim strategic impact:

𝟏. 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬
 List your strategic priorities (not tasks).
 Share them with your manager and team so everyone aligns to the same direction.

𝟐. 𝐄𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
 Every Friday, identify three actions that move each priority forward.
 Block calendar time to execute — before the week fills itself.

𝟑. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞
 Monday: Before checking email, work on one strategic priority.
 Wednesday: Review progress and course-correct.

𝟒. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
 Check email only three times per day.
 Respond, delegate, and prioritize through the lens of your strategic goals — not urgency.

This isn’t just productivity — it’s reclaiming meaning, ownership, and impact.

There’s a reason the energy changes when you join a call. People notice more than you think.
     
     • Do you listen to understand, or just wait your turn to speak?

     • Do you navigate crises with calm focus, or contagious panic?

     • Do you credit your team publicly, or claim wins privately?

People don’t follow words — they follow example.

If you say “𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘵” but cancel 1-on-1s…
If you preach “𝘱𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘺” but punish messengers…
If you champion “𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯” but punish well-intentioned mistakes…

You’re not building trust — you’re eroding it, along with your impact.


𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬:

     • Stay curious and trust the answers are in the room

     • Hold themselves and others accountable

     • Use empathy to connect and inspire


𝐏𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬:

     • Shut down dialogue by playing expert

     • Blame others

𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞

I’ve seen countless professionals chase titles, bonuses, or recognition—only to feel drained, disconnected, or stuck. The irony? Their greatest leverage comes from making a positive difference, not chasing personal gain.

Ask yourself: How much of my daily work actually changes someone else’s world for the better? What am I doing to develop the people on my team? Others around me?

From my experience coaching executives and teams, the people who thrive fastest share three habits:

𝟏. 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬’ 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 – Invest time in coaching, mentoring, and supporting colleagues. Their success amplifies yours.
𝟐. 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲 – Listen actively, understand perspectives, and respond in ways that build trust and collaboration.
𝟑. 𝐀𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 – Make decisions and take actions that create meaningful, positive outcomes—not just busy work.

The truth is simple: Making a difference isn’t optional—it’s strategic. Leaders who embed these habits create influence, loyalty, and results that last.

Start today. What’s one small action you can take to positively impact someone’s day or career this week?

𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦 — 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬

True collaboration isn’t another meeting on the calendar — it’s a momentum engine. When done well, it shifts your team from pushing work forward to being pulled by shared clarity, ownership, and energy.

Here’s how to build that flywheel:

𝟏. 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐦
        • 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦: Your team comes to you with problems — making you the bottleneck.
        • 𝐓𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬: Ask, “What are three solutions you’ve considered?”
        • 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭: You build thinkers, not task-takers — and move from fixer to facilitator.

𝟐. 𝐔𝐬𝐞 “𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞” 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
        • 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦: Consensus slows decisions and waters down bold thinking.
        • 𝐓𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬: Ask: “What risks or weak points are we not seeing?”
        • 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭: Healthy challenge → faster alignment → stronger decisions.

𝟑. 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐜, 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭
        • 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦: Shared goals become unclear, slow, and circular.
        • 𝐓𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬: Break work into clear owners, timelines, and RACCI roles.
        • 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭: Ownership replaces ambiguity. Work accelerates and quality improves.

You’re not just leading tasks — you’re shaping momentum.

Human-centered leadership isn’t soft — it’s your sharpest tool for driving team purpose. Too many leaders burn out while their teams disengage because “purpose” is treated as a buzzword, disconnected from daily work. Are you managing tasks but losing people?

Here’s how to make purpose tangible:

1.  Identify the Non-Negotiable Core
Talk to each team member this week. Don’t ask about tasks — ask: “𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘴?” Use their answers to guide engagement.

2. Connect Tasks to Real Impact
Reframe a key team metric by the end of the month. Instead of “𝘐𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘣𝘺 10%,” say “𝘋𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 1,000 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘣𝘺 𝘘3.” People work for outcomes they can see and feel.

3. Grant “Impact Autonomy”
Empower your team to make one decision this month that shapes their work and results. Ownership over meaningful outcomes drives motivation like nothing else.

When your team is pulled by a vision they co-create, you don’t need to push — performance flows naturally.

𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐬𝐲𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲: 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐔𝐩

Psychological safety isn’t a buzzword — it’s the foundation of high-performing teams. Leaders set the tone for whether people feel safe sharing ideas, taking risks, and speaking honestly.


Here’s how leaders create it:

1. 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐕𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 – Admit mistakes, ask for feedback, and show that learning is valued over perfection.
2. 𝐄𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐕𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 – Invite input from everyone. Ask questions like, “𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘮𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨?”
3. 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤-𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 – Celebrate well-intentioned experiments, even when they fail. Failure is data, not shame.
4. 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝, 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭 – Listen first, seek to understand, and avoid punishment for speaking up.

When people feel safe, they engage, innovate, and collaborate. Teams become resilient, creative, and aligned around shared goals.

Psychological safety isn’t a perk — it’s a leadership superpower.
