Katie Conley


Career Coach & Author

I’m Katie Conley, a career coach, writer, and the author of God’s GRACE for Your Career. Helping people flourish in their working lives, while staying rooted in their faith, is what I love to do.

Throughout a varied and often surprising career, the moments I’ve enjoyed most have always been the same: sitting with people, listening to their stories, and exploring what they do, why they do it, and what God might be inviting them into next. That curiosity about people, purpose, and calling is what led me to write God’s GRACE for Your Career and continues to shape my coaching today.

Over the years, I’ve managed graduate recruitment programmes, delivered career development workshops, created personal development plans, provided one-to-one career coaching, and facilitated skills and leadership training. My own roles have ranged from Sales Assistant and Waitress to Training Officer, Head of Department, Non-Executive Director, and Director of my own consulting business - each one giving me insight into different workplaces, seasons, and challenges.

I’ve always loved writing and reflection, and I bring that same thoughtful, practical approach into my coaching. I’m passionate about helping people understand the choices they’ve made, discern what’s next, and grow in clarity, confidence, and courage - whether that means learning something new, making a change, or stepping into a fresh challenge.

My Christian Faith

I became a Christian over 20 years ago and since then have tried to follow Jesus in everything I do, including my career.

I have a Certificate in Christian Discipleship and I oversee Home Groups in my church, as well as running 2 of them. I have led Alpha courses (for those exploring the Christian faith) and am also on the Prayer Ministry Team. 

Fellowship and learning are very important to me and I co-lead Kingdom Business, a network of Christian small business entrepreneurs and leaders who meet to pray together and encourage each other in business. I’m also a member of the International Christian Chamber of Commerce.

I am very comfortable discussing career choices from a Christian viewpoint, and love to see how our faith in Jesus interacts with our career choices.

So if you want to include your Christian faith in your work-life and want to explore what this might look like then get in touch for some Christian career coaching.
