Testimonials
My mom is one of the bravest humans in my life. Like any daughter, I always thought I knew everything, but had I known how much wisdom and resilience my mom had been trying to pour into me the whole time - I would’ve begun listening a lot closer, a whole lot sooner. Even as I have battled with varying forms of depression and anxiety throughout the last 4 years, my mom has remained a lighthouse for me.
Navigating the frenetic and fast paced road to success in the entertainment world can be the ultimate challenge, particularly for young talent. Cristi's individually designed programs teach invaluable skills to many of our artists, enabling them to address these challenges with confidence and resolve while maintaining a positive work/life balance. Simply put, Cristi's programs and on-going support to our talent make a measurable difference.
Cristi Williams came into mine and my daughter’s lives at the perfect time. Our small family was walking through the darkest time we had ever walked through together and Cristi helped us so much. The darkness has passed and life is GREAT now. Thank you Cristi!
One introduction and four cups of coffee later, Cristi Williams became our favorite blessing of 2018. We consider her to be much more than a colleague -- She’s family. As artist managers in Nashville, TN., we look to surround our artists with the most genuine and sincere of people. Cristi is the poster child for that description. The thought, love, and effort she pours into her clients is truly one of a kind. We hired Cristi to impact the lives of our clients, but rather than doing just that, she managed to influence our entire team.
MusiCares has been so fortunate to have had the opportunity to partner with Cristi multiple times over the years. Cristi’s expertise is vast and her knowledge of the entertainment industry is not only professional, but also personal. This dynamic allows Cristi to approach each individual with a unique lense, which adds tremendous value and authenticity. The entertainment industry can be complex, challenging and difficult. Cristi is intimately aware of those challenges and has the wisdom to help any individual tackle those challenges. She maintains the highest level of integrity in all that she does and she is deeply dedicated to addressing all facets of health and wellness within the entertainment industry. The industry is incredibly fortunate to have her and her work is making a tremendous difference.
I have two words for you: Cristi. Williams. I met her in 5th grade - as my teacher. Our whole class adored her. She and my mom became good friends, so we kept in touch as my education progressed further than middle school. Flash forward 7 years and we both have moved from Nashville to LA, where Cristi continues to be an incredible teacher to me. Though this time around it's not reading and writing, it's learning the guidance, cultivation, balance, and support I need for my entertainment career.
In single and group sessions, we've studied balancing personal lives and work, analyzing behaviors, cultivating personal spirituality, setting goals, and evaluating life experience to safeguard well-being - all things key to maintaining a cool and collected frame of mind while cultivating a career in this crazy entertainment business. Seriously, who better to teach the youngsters in your life how to keep a balanced, proactive, savvy, and examined life than a woman who helped her own teenage daughter (a tough relationship to maintain, let alone successfully) stay grounded while becoming one of todays most distinguishable musicians? She may look like a sweet southern belle, but watch out - Cristi's no joke ya'll. Cristi - Even my extensive vocabulary won't do you justice, so I'll keep it simple: THANK YOU - for everything.
I enlisted Cristi to help me with this task. She worked with parents and talent, teaching them how to move forward with their careers effectively and efficiently. Cristi's coaching set my talent on a realistic path to achieve their biggest dreams! In just a few months, new found confidence and professionalism led the talent to book more jobs. She has developed a formula that does just that! I am blessed to have come in contact with such an amazing person. I recommend her services to everyone looking to take their career to the next level.
Being in Cristi's girl's group has been an amazing experience for me over the few past years. It has helped me grow both in my personal and career life. Cristi challenges each of us on our own level to think about what we really want out of life and the group provides like-minded friends to keep us motivated and headed in the right direction. It's easy to get swept up in this industry but thanks to Cristi and my group of girls, I have learned the importance of stopping to ask myself what's really important and to take the time to see my goals and dreams through.
In 2005, I was a recent college graduate wondering how to begin journey toward becoming a major label recording artist. Luckily I found Cristi Williams. She offered honest answers to all of my questions. It was immediately obvious to me that Cristi had reliable and reputable contacts in the music business, had dealt with the trials and tribulations of management issues, and was quite knowledgeable in the area of music publishing deals. Most importantly Cristi understood the emotional strain this business brings and was there for me when I needed an understanding ear. As time has passed, Cristi's personal experiences have undoubtedly lent even more expertise to her abilities as a life coach.
Cristi Williams has been such a blessing in my life. It's been wonderful to be part of the girl's group she holds because it is made up of girls who are in the entertainment industry and who are experiencing the craziness of that world, just like me. The advice, encouragement and support she has given me has helped me to stay true to myself and at the same time be a light in other peoples lives while I'm chasing my dreams. I am incredibly grateful to Cristi for all that she's done for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Cristi is amazing and really knows what she is talking about when it comes to the entertainment industry. It is great to learn from someone who was in my place a few years ago and knows first hand what an artist and their family is going through. I love working with Cristi Williams.
I am a songwriter and have three daughters that are working in the entertainment industry as model/actresses. For five years, Cristi has been there for us as we try to balance our priorities and hectic lifestyles. She bonded with my girls early, and they feel secure expressing their thoughts and feelings with her. It helps to have someone to keep us all grounded as well as keeping us focused and positive in an industry that can be cruel.
My life has changed a lot in the last year and and I have Cristi to thank for so much of that. At a point in life where I was feeling really low and insecure, she helped me pinpoint the reasons I was feeling that way and then move forward to a place of confidence. After just a few months of working with her, not only was my personal life feeling a million times more on track, but she also has been preparing me for my career with advice that is priceless. It’s rare to find someone who is able to help you become healthier in every area of your life but she seems to do just that. I honestly couldn’t be more thankful for Cristi and the way she’s impacted my life!
I first met Cristi a few years ago, through our record label, when she started working with my band at the time. I'll admit, at first I was skeptical of any kind of life coach, in fear that it would end up being weird, uncomfortable, or more about the coach than the client. However, as soon as we talked at our first meeting, it was evident our time together would be beneficial and, better yet, fun! Cristi's loving manner, genuine interest, and experience in the music industry helped me deal with the pressures on and off the road. Now in an independent band, Cristi's honest advice and knowledge of the industry has been priceless! She is there for me when I need her, and continues to be one of the most cherished people in my life. I recommend Cristi to any and every one!
