TESTIMONIALS
​"I was feeling stagnant in my career and didn’t even know where to start to get unstuck. Christie quickly dialed in on what I needed and gave me the tools and the confidence to create a more meaningful professional life for myself. I ultimately had clarity about what a fulfilling career and life was for me, resigned from my job, took a sabbatical and have just accepted a position that aligns exactly to what I want and need at this stage in my career. Christie is empathetic and intuitive. She has the unique ability to see different paths forward that are otherwise difficult to recognize. I would highly recommend working with Christie for help with taking your next step."

When I first reached out to Christie, I was feeling deeply frustrated and unhappy at work. I was ready to make a change and wanted support to make a career move that honored my deeper calling and my authentic self. Christie didn’t just help me go from one step to the next; she helped me develop an approach to continue growing professionally and following my dreams.
During my sessions, Christie was able to flow while keeping us grounded and on track. I have so many interests
and passions! She honored my intuition while helping me clarify concrete actions that lead to tangible outcomes. She was an able guide bringing soulfulness and humor to the process.
Christie’s thoughtful summaries post-session told a beautiful story that suited me in the process. She used a number of communication tools such as images, key phrases, links to information,
professional development tools, and assessments.
Christie helped me see that I can be my authentic self and that taking a more unconventional career path is possible. She encouraged me to take positive risks.
Today, I've moved states, pivoted to a fulfilling career and industry, and feel more confident and grounded professionally. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Christie!

“Christie came into my life when I needed her the most. I knew I had to change industries but I had no idea what I wanted to do next. I was searching for a coach to help guide me through a transition I didn't fully understand. I had a few introductory calls with several coaches, but it was immediately clear that Christie was the perfect fit for me. I bought a package and her expertise has been worth every penny!
She asked me insightful and challenging questions that made me think about myself and my career in new ways. When I landed a new job in a new industry, she was there every step of the way. She guided me to tools that changed how I interacted with colleagues and the work in the moment and other tools that helped shape my next steps. I feel like my work toolbox has grown 10 fold in the year! My relationship to work and my perspective of my work self are forever changed, thanks to Christie."
ONE YEAR LATER
​
Through our work together I’ve been on a path to more fulfilling and exciting work. The highlights are:
- This August I completed a data analytics certificate program through the Maccomb Business School at UT to further my exploration into that structured, lost-in-a-spreadsheet feeling.
- I’m still at the same non-profit though I’ll be transitioning into a new role as Programs Data Analyst around April!
- That will also mean my supervisor will be changing to my mentor and the best boss I’ve ever had!
- This boss negotiated on my behalf for a raise because of the value of the work I’ve been doing.
- I’ve also been taking a “seasonal” data side job. It’s been a great way to practice the skills I’ve learned and keep myself sharp - and negotiated a big pay bump last time around.
- I’ve gone to school and become a Certified Tableau Data Analyst (data visualization software).

"Christie Artis is a thoughtful, strategic and engaging leader of Talent Management. She establishes deep connections with the leaders she is coaching and is passionate about developing them to reach their full potential. She has the rare ability to gather large amounts of information, synthesize into the most critical components and re-direct the conversation to produce a better outcome. I’ve always valued Christies insight and counsel and she makes everything she touches better."
-Leslie, Sr. Vice President HR
"I’ve been working with Christie over the past 16 months. I had come to her a little with goals like “getting a promotion” and “managing up”, but it quickly became clear to both of us that what I really needed was a shift in mindset and deep clarity around my values and life vision.
With empathy, wisdom, and impeccable coaching skills and tools, Christie guided me out of a place of self-doubt and cynicism to a place of authentic confidence, integrity, and compassion for myself and others. She was there for me in my ups and downs, helping me navigate challenges and difficult conversations, and celebrating my wins and achievements. She deeply cares.
Meanwhile, and as a direct result of our work together, I got the promotion I wanted, and I’ve become much more comfortable working with execs and having honest conversations that create a win for all!
Not only that, the tools she’s provided me with have a huge positive impact on my personal life and relationships as well.
Having had a long-term working relationship with Christie had resulted in the sustained changes I hoped for, mostly in the form of Christie’s wise voice inside my head :)"

"I can’t tell you what a comfort it has been to have Christie in my corner as I set out on this journey. I felt as though I was just chatting with an old friend I hadn’t seen in years and we picked up right where we left off. Christie provides wonderful resources for self exploration and a safe space where you can shut out the noise and spend time understanding your needs, values, and goals. My advice to anyone wavering on the decision to move forward with a session is to just do it. Make the choice now to prioritize you, examine your innermost self, and commit to your sessions with vulnerability and candor. Christie’s engaging and compassionate personality resonates through the sessions and I’m so glad I took that first step with her as my coach!"

Christie helped me to analyze my current strengths and goals, position myself and take specific action steps forward. She did this through a compassionate heart, intentional listening and questioning, and immense knowledge and experience. I made connections I never thought I could and interviewed better than I ever have. I reached my goal and made it into my dream company.
