Profile: What is required and what is optional?

Updated over 3 months ago

Your profile helps coaches understand who you are and what you are looking for. Only a few details are required to use Yumi42, everything else is optional but can make it easier to find a good match.

Required information

These details are required so that bookings and communication can work:

  • Email address
    You need a valid email address to create an account, receive confirmations and reset your password.

  • First name and last name
    Your name is shown to coaches in bookings and in the communication around your sessions.

You provide some of this during sign up, some directly after confirming your email. Without this information you cannot complete bookings.

Optional, but helpful profile details

The following fields are optional, but they help Yumi42 and coaches understand your situation and suggest better matches:

  • Profile photo
    A simple, friendly photo helps your coach put a face to your name. This is optional and you can change or remove it at any time.

  • Country and time zone

    This helps to show times correctly and to avoid confusion when booking sessions.

  • Topics and goals
    Short selection or description of what you want to work on, for example career, leadership, stress, relationships or personal growth. This helps coaches prepare and makes search suggestions more relevant.

  • Preferred language and format
    For example which language you want to use in sessions and whether you prefer online sessions.

  • Short introduction
    A few sentences about you and your situation, for example your job, current challenges or what you hope to get from coaching.

You can fill in these fields directly after sign up in the short onboarding or later in your account settings.

What coaches see and what they do not see

Coaches can usually see:

  • your first name and last name

  • your profile photo, if you upload one

  • the topics and goals you share

  • the language and format you prefer

  • information you write in bookings, messages and forms related to your coaching

Coaches do not see:

  • your password

  • internal payment and billing data

  • technical information about your device or browser

You can find more details in the Privacy Policy.

You can adjust your profile data at any time in your Yumi42 account, for example if your goals change, you move to another country or you want to share more or less information. The more precise your profile, the easier it is to find coaches who fit your situation.
