Manage episode 379409011 series 2788032
Paul Cowley's youth was marked by explosive arguments and aggression, due to his parents being alcoholics. He eventually became homeless and turned to crime, After serving in the army, which failed to provide him with the direction and purpose he craved and the subsequent death of his parents, Paul's quest for meaning led him to an extraordinary encounter with God. This encounter changed his life forever and led him to the path of priesthood.
In 2022, Paul Cowley made history as Iceland's first-ever Director of Rehabilitation. His role is to recruit ex-offenders for jobs within the company. Paul has helped many individuals secure jobs at the frozen food retailer's stores, with more opportunities on the horizon.
Paul oversees the recruitment process, rather than adding it to HR or line manager responsibilities. The program has received support from the company's founder and executive chairman, Malcolm Walker.
Paul's journey from a troubled youth to a soldier, and finally to a priest, is a testament to the transformative power of faith and hope. He shares his story is to give hope to anyone who feels lost and broken.
