Even as a small child, God was moving in Ann's heart—long before she had words for what she was feeling. She would slip away to her closet just to talk to Jesus, not fully understanding why, only that she wanted to. Years later, she began meeting people who had something she didn't yet have: a real, personal relationship with Christ. Watching them stirred a hunger in her to know Him that way too. Then in her twenties, a coworker invited her to a women's Bible study at work—and that invitation became the turning point. Slowly, piece by piece, everything began to click, until she found herself in a genuine relationship with Jesus.Today, Ann carries that same faith into her work as a Career and Leadership Coach, author, and speaker. She helps faith-driven professionals find clarity in their careers—and move forward with confidence and intention.⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.anneileenthompson.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.hopealongthejourney.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/HopeAlongTheJourney⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/hopealongthejourney⁠
