01 / 10 Your priorities

Skip the journey

01 / 10

Start with what matters.

Your priorities meet our coaching expertise and behavioral science.

  • Business priorities
  • People
  • Culture
Explore this step

Tell us where the business is going, what is getting in the way and what you need your leaders to do differently. Bring your context together with Torch’s coaching expertise and behavioral science.

  • Name the business need and opportunity.
  • Understand the people, culture and constraints.
  • Agree what meaningful change would look like.

Your strategic priorities become the starting point for the coaching brief.

02 / 10

Shape the right mix.

Individual, team or group coaching, designed around the work.

  • Individual
  • Team
  • Group

Team coaching arrangements and individual confidentiality are agreed together.

Explore this step

Match the business need with the right coaching mix: individual coaching at scale, an intact team working with one coach, a cross-functional group, and optional AI support.

  • Individual: a personal coach and development agenda.
  • Team: a manager chooses one coach for themselves and their team members.
  • Group: people from different teams learn and practise together.

The team model is agreed with participants, keeping individual coaching and shared team work distinct. Group coaching brings together people from different teams.

03 / 10

Agree what progress means.

Choose the evidence, set the baseline and agree what gets shared.

  • 360 feedback
  • Surveys
  • Your measures

Reporting access is agreed. Private sessions are not management reporting.

Explore this step

Shape the measurement plan before coaching begins. Combine 360 feedback, coach-led questions, agreed coach-board reporting and surveys with your existing employee-engagement measures.

  • Agree the baseline and the questions that matter.
  • Define which program and employee-measurement data your organization will receive.
  • Set consent, aggregation, access and confidentiality rules.

Agree the evidence, the baseline and who can access each measure before the program begins.

Data and coach-board access are agreed for the program. Private session content is not treated as management reporting.

04 / 10

Bring everyone into it.

Your dedicated CSM brings participants together, with your sponsor and an optional senior coach.

  • Purpose
  • Orientation
  • Readiness
Explore this step

A dedicated Customer Success Manager leads the kickoff, virtually or in person. A senior coach can help participants understand coaching, while an executive sponsor connects the program to the organization’s goals.

  • Explain the benefits, expectations and confidentiality.
  • Make the organizational purpose clear.
  • Help participants feel ready for the first conversation.

An executive sponsor explains the purpose; the CSM and a senior coach orient participants to the program.

05 / 10

Find the right coach.

Match personal preferences with the experience and qualifications your program needs.

  • Style
  • Experience
  • Fit
Explore this step

A questionnaire helps participants express what they need from a coach, including level of challenge, industry experience and cultural fit. Bring those preferences together with your organization’s requirements.

  • Explore coaching style and the level of assertiveness.
  • Consider sector experience and cultural context.
  • Include required credentials, systems coaching or specific frameworks.

Participant preferences and program requirements inform a coach shortlist and selection.

06 / 10

Make the connection.

Book the first session, agree goals and check the chemistry.

  • Book
  • Set goals
  • Check fit
Explore this step

Participants select and book their coach, agree their development goals and begin. Chemistry support can help check that the pairing is working and address a mismatch early.

  • Make booking and the first engagement straightforward.
  • Agree goals and a practical session rhythm.
  • Check the fit and support a change of coach if needed.

Coach selection leads to booking, a first conversation and a chemistry check. Optional Spark support can accompany the coaching from the start.

07 / 10

Pause. Learn. Adjust.

Bring the first 90 days of agreed evidence back to leadership.

  • Engagement
  • Goal progress
  • Next steps

A proposed 90-day review, with timing and reporting agreed for your program.

Explore this step

Build a 90-day review into the program. Bring senior leaders a clear view of engagement, progress against the agreed goals and the themes that can be shared within the reporting boundaries.

  • Review the available evidence and its limitations.
  • Discuss opportunities and barriers the agreed data reveals.
  • Decide what to continue, adjust or investigate.

The proposed 90-day leadership readout combines engagement, goal progress and approved themes, then identifies next actions.

The 90-day presentation is part of this proposed program design, not a claim about every existing Torch engagement.

08 / 10

Keep the practice going.

Spark supports reflection and rehearsal between human coaching sessions.

  • Reflect
  • Rehearse
  • Try it at work

Optional AI support can start with coaching. Transcript, workshop and export options remain proposed.

Explore this step

Spark gives participants a place to reflect, rehearse difficult conversations and practise skills between human sessions. Use the opportunities identified through coaching to make that practice relevant.

  • Practise a specific challenge or use a roleplay scenario.
  • Bring what happened in the workplace back to the human coach.
  • Consider additional workshops and participant-controlled continuity options.

Human sessions connect to optional Spark reflection and rehearsal, then to practice at work. AI support can run alongside human coaching, not only after the 90-day review.

Transcript-based continuity as a personal sounding board, AI-led workshops and sharing with another AI tool are proposed options. Product and Privacy confirmation of recording, consent, access and export is required before these are described as available features.

09 / 10

See what changes at work.

Connect feedback with observed actions and your business measures.

  • Feedback
  • Behavior
  • Business impact

ROI needs costs, benefits and attribution, not participation alone.

Explore this step

Keep reporting against the goals you set. Look for demonstrated action in the workplace, supported by an impact 360, surveys and agreed employee measures.

  • Compare the baseline with later feedback.
  • Connect reported change to observable actions and business measures.
  • Assess ROI with costs, benefits and attribution, not participation alone.

Compare baseline, review and impact measures. Workplace actions and business evidence help interpret survey and 360 feedback; they do not automatically prove financial ROI.

10 / 10

Build on what works.

Refresh the priorities. Carry the learning into the next challenge.

  • Review
  • Refine
  • Continue
Explore this step

Bring the insights into the next cycle of development. Refine the coaching mix, support new leaders and carry useful practices into the organization’s next challenge.

  • Celebrate progress and identify what still needs work.
  • Refresh the brief as business priorities change.
  • Decide where continued coaching and practice will help.

Review what changed, refresh priorities and carry learning into the next program cycle.

Impact from one person
all the way up to an
entire organisation.

Choose the setting that fits the work. Combine individual, team and group coaching where each can make a useful contribution.

Individual coaching

Space to work on what holds a leader back.

A dedicated coaching relationship for personal goals, leadership judgment and the conversations that matter.

Team coaching

Work on the way a team works together.

Bring an intact team into the work of clarifying priorities, building trust and taking shared responsibility.

People from different teams come together for group coaching An organisation chart shows four teams. One participant from each team joins a shared cross-functional coaching group beneath the chart.

Group coaching

Different perspectives. Shared progress.

Connect leaders across functions to explore common challenges, practise together and learn from one another.

Goal tracking, custom dashboards and before-and-after 360 feedback give talent teams complementary views of development.

Define the measures and reporting boundaries at the start. A useful view of the program does not require treating a private coaching conversation as employer reporting.

“Our partnership with Torch, as well as the executive coaching we've been able to offer our leaders, is one of the things I'm most proud of in my entire career. It's been so impactful and such a differentiator for CrossCountry. We have people who say this program changed their life, that this was the most meaningful thing they've ever done.”

Before we talk.

What is Torch?

Torch is a leadership coaching and alignment platform for talent teams in mid-market and enterprise organizations. It brings experienced human coaches, optional Spark AI support and progress measurement into coaching programs shaped around the organization’s priorities.

How is a coaching program tailored to our organization?

Start with the business priority, the leaders involved and the behaviors you want to see change. Together, we determine the coaching format, coach fit and measures of progress. Sponsor-provided program context and an individual’s coaching conversations are treated as different kinds of information.

Does AI replace the human coach?

No. Spark can support reflection and practice between human coaching sessions. It is optional, and can also be used as a standalone coaching chatbot. The right mix depends on the goals and scope of your program.

How will we know whether coaching is helping?

Agree the measures at the start. Goal progress, participant feedback and before-and-after 360 feedback can show different aspects of change. Business impact and financial ROI require additional evidence; participation or a positive coaching rating alone does not establish either.
