FAQs
Support, encouragement and accountability are incredibly important components in finding success through your development. With that said, as you engage in coaching, it may be very helpful to speak with your manager about your goals and aspirations for what you want to accomplish through the process. It’s up to you to share how much or how little you feel comfortable with – but please know they want to hear from you!
All participants are required to meet with their coach at least once a month, although we highly recommend weekly or bi-weekly to get the most out of the experience. That said, you will have access to unlimited coaching – so you can have full control over your coaching schedule. Please note that participants who are not active for 2 months will forfeit their seat.
Upon completing a coach match profile, Torch’s team will work to identify 3 best-fit coach options for you to review. Their coach pool is extremely diverse and qualified – all are accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), they have on average 10+ years of coaching experience and speak over 17 languages. Torch has a 96% coachee satisfaction score.
A coaching engagement is an individualized journey with a certified coach. It’s a time for participants to identify challenges and solutions through a facilitated and personalized learning experience.
Long story, short, yes! If you’ve previously worked with a coach outside of the Torch network, you can still participate. If you’ve previously been a Torch coachee, you can sign up again as long as it’s been at least six months since your last engagement. Please note that it’s unlikely you’ll be able to get matched with the same coach – but many of your colleagues have found a new coach, with new tips & tricks and a new perspective, valuable.

Let us put you at ease – the conversations and what’s shared between you and your coach, your 360 assessment, specific details about your Learning Goals, as well as feedback from your peers that you invite to assess your progress, will NOT be shared with Tripadvisor Group or Torch. Quantitative data from your 360 (such as general participant averages and trends) and the high-level domain of your Learning Goals (such as “Empathy”), are not confidential and may be seen by the Program Managers.
Aside from agreeing to a meeting cadence with your coach and sticking to it, the only other requirement is completion of surveys sent by the Torch team. These 5-minute surveys provide our team with data that allows us to measure the impact of Torch coaching and identify ways to continually improve the program.
