Getting Started

Additional tools for clients receiving one-to-one support, and amazing life-hacks for everyone else!

Before jumping in, let’s make sure your systems are set up properly. If you’re working with Naomi one-on-one you’ll need to make sure you have these tools in place. If you’re not, make sure to review the videos as the life hacks will certainly help you manage and grow your business. 

Coaching calls take place via Zoom, a free online tool that allows us to speak, share screens, doodle notes and record. Calls are free for two people, but if you add a third, you’ll have a 40 minute cut off.

Downloading Zoom to your desktop allows us to quickly connect and access calls. It also means your screen will look similar to mine allowing me to help you navigate the screen and learn how to use it. I highly recommend downloading it (and using it with your clients).

Download from www.Zoom.us

Loom will allow you to record your screen and share the video effortlessly. Email your videos to naomi@theprofile.company For one-to-one clients make sure to alert Naomi to your video by texting.

Our priority is to keep you moving. If you’ve allocated two hours to a task we want you to complete it, not postpone it because the screen looked different from what you expected and you didn’t know what to do!
