Katie Conley, Christian, career coach and author is described by her clients as engaging, dedicated, insightful. She set up Conley Career Coaching to specifically continue her passion for helping people progress in their careers, helping them make choices for their next career move, discussing career options, putting together a job search strategy, advising on CVs or providing interview practice. Katie is very comfortable discussing career choices from a Christian viewpoint and loves to see how our faith interacts with our career choices and what God has planned for us. Katie says she wrote the book because, "I realised that my clients long to understand their career 'purpose' and to have meaning in their work. There are many resources to help people find purpose in their careers, but as I reviewed these resources, I felt there was a 'God sized' hole in them. I wanted to develop some ideas that helped people explore their careers from God's perspective, to help them pray about their careers and consider career ideas within a Christian framework." And God's GRACE for Your Career was the result.
