Peter Lemmer, Head Coach at COAR

Hi, I'm Peter

I've been in your shoes. As a migrant job seeker myself, I moved to NZ in 2016 with my family and faced the same challenges you're facing now.

With a 30-year career spanning from the shop floor to executive roles, I've spent the last 9 years coaching over 1000 clients to successfully find jobs from overseas.

My unique approach, combining the PEEAT principlewith a deep understanding of human behaviour from my studies in Industrial Psychology, is a game-changer for my clients.

COAR stands for: Change, Ownership, Accountability, and Responsibility. Don't leave your future in other people's hands!
