How it works
Every Torch engagement follows the same four-step rhythm.
Building self awareness is the first step toward growth. The Torch Leadership Assessment helps experienced professionals gain clarity on existing strengths and development opportunities.
During regular 1:1 video sessions, an experienced Torch coach will help build a custom development plan based on goals and the 360 results.
Leaders then set their own growth goals with the help of their Torch coach. Together, they will define specific actions to track progress and hit leadership development targets.
Integrate learnings and capture insights for a new leadership future.

Frequently asked questions
LinkedIn is excited to help all employees be more productive and successful in their careers via coaching engagements. Through these coaching experiences, LinkedIn can support your development of the required, desired, and future skills you need to adapt and thrive, achieve business results, and reach your career goals in this ever-evolving, rapidly changing environment.
LinkedIn has partnered with Torch, a coaching specialist, for the past several years, to provide coaching services broadly across the organization. This partnership allows LinkedIn team members to receive additional support in their ongoing career development from someone beyond their manager.
Your coaching sessions are private to you and your coach. We encourage you to share with your manager about your goals, learnings, and reflections. The LinkedIn Coaching team will only receive aggregated program-level coaching themes and feedback reports from Torch for program management purposes. Your individual-level engagement data (such as your start date, how many sessions you complete, etc.) are visible to the LinkedIn Coaching team.
We recommend participants work on a career action plan that identifies 1-2 near term development goals to work on with your coach. Some ideas for development to focus on with a coach include: creating clarity, practicing inclusive leadership, and driving accountability and results.
