Editing your shepherd profile

Your profile is what talents see before they book you. Most of it is edited in one place, Edit profile; the rest is edited right where it shows on Your profile.

Edit profile

Press Edit profile on Your profile, or choose it in your account menu. You can change:

• Full name: the name talents see. Changing it here changes it everywhere you appear.
• Role title and Company: search the companies on KoffeeChat, or type your own.
• Past firms you can speak about: talents filter shepherds by the firms they've worked at.
• City: where you appear on the shepherd map.
• Meeting link: your Google Meet, Zoom or Calendly link. Only people with a confirmed chat with you get it: it isn't on your public page.
• How long are your chats? (20, 30 or 45 minutes) and Weekly cap: the same settings as on the Availability tab.
• Timezone: leave it on automatic to use your city's time zone, or pick one.

Press Save when you're done.

Your photo and banner
