A coach profile on Yumi42 gives you a compact overview of who the coach is, how they work and whether they might fit your situation. This article walks you through the most important elements of a typical profile and how you can use them to compare coaches.
1. Header: first impression
At the top of the profile you usually see:
Name and short headline
For example “Leadership Coach” or “Career & Burnout Coach”. This gives you a quick idea of the main focus.Badges
For example “Certified coach” or other quality badges. These show that Yumi42 has checked certain requirements.Rating and reviews
Star rating and the number of reviews from previous clients. Details are in the “Reviews” tab further down.Experience and location
Years of coaching experience and the main location of the coach. Even for online coaching this can help you understand their context and time zone.
Languages
In which languages the coach offers sessions. Make sure at least one matches what you are comfortable with.Specialisations / tags
Short topic tags such as “Leadership”, “Career change”, “Stress & resilience”. These show the coach’s main focus areas at a glance.
Use this header to check quickly: does the general direction fit your topic?
2. Booking box on the right
On the right-hand side you see the booking box. It shows:
Type of offer
Tabs such as “Single session” and “Coaching journey” (programs or packages).Price and duration
For example “€99 / 60 minutes”. This is the price you pay per selected offer.Offer selector
A dropdown where you can choose between different session types or packages if the coach offers more than one.Calendar
Available time slots for the selected offer. This shows how well the coach’s availability fits your schedule.Introductory call
Many coaches offer a free 15 minute intro call. You can book this from the same box to get to know each other before you commit.
Details on booking, payment and cancellations are covered in separate Help Center articles. Here it is mainly about understanding price level and availability.
3. “About me” section
The “About me” text explains:
the coach’s background and experience
what kind of clients they typically work with
how they approach coaching and what matters to them
While reading, ask yourself:
Do I feel understood by the way this coach describes typical clients and challenges?
Does the tone appeal to me – more structured, more empathetic, more direct?
4. Mission and approach
All profiles have a short separate “Mission” or similar section. Here coaches describe:
what drives them as a coach
what they want to help clients achieve
how they see success in coaching
This section helps you understand whether your values and expectations match.
5. Detailed information table
Further down you usually find a structured table with information such as:
Coaching methods or schools they draw from
Professional background (for example “Corporate leadership”, “Entrepreneur”, “Therapist by training”)
Communication style (for example “direct, practical”, “empathetic, reflective”)
Session format (online, on site, hybrid)
Typical client groups (for example “leaders”, “founders”, “students”)
Languages again in a more detailed list
Certifications, if available
“Member since” to show how long they have been on Yumi42
Use this table to compare two or three coaches directly: methods, background, style and typical clients often make the biggest difference.
6. Reviews and publications
Reviews
Here you see written feedback from previous clients, if available. Look for patterns rather than single comments: what do people repeatedly highlight?Publications
Some coaches link articles, podcasts or talks. This can give you a deeper impression of their thinking and style.
7. Similar coaches
At the bottom you often see a row of “Similar coaches”. These are coaches with related topics or backgrounds. This is an easy way to open a few additional profiles and compare focus, style and price.
How to compare profiles efficiently
When you are unsure between several coaches:
Shortlist 2–4 profiles that fit your topic and budget.
Compare header, price, methods and client groups side by side.
Read the “About me” and mission texts and notice where you feel the strongest “yes”.
