The change in both the social and mining environment throughout 2020 and 2021 resulted in massive variability in the experience of the labour engaged by Goodline. One of the major risks we identified in the Pilbara during my time as the Divisional Manager at Goodline, was the capability of our supervisors and Management team to step up into a true leadership role to enable them to build teams and teamwork quickly. As a company that engaged a large number of contract FIFO for short periods of time, our ability to get the team up to speed was essential to successful delivery. With Peter and CLT’s help, we were able to develop our supervisor group that has resulted in the company’s highest number of productive hours combined with the lowest safety incidents the branch had ever achieved in a month. Our supervisors learned skills and techniques to develop and lead their teams more effectively.
One thing that really stood out from the work that Peter and his team did was the immediate engagement and buy-in from the leadership team. It was not ‘just another ‘coaching session’ management are forcing us to participate in’. Peter’s ability to assess each supervisor/leader quickly, provide personalised feedback on their strengths and opportunities, and then to offer each of them focused and directed hints to assist, was really impressive. It was a great experience with a great result.
I had the privilege of engaging with Peter and the Career Life Transitions (CLT) team as both a client and candidate. During my time in HR, CLT was appointed to provide outplacement support to employees impacted by redundancy. From an employer perspective, offering the service ensured best practice HR, and regular progress reports from CLT made certain the service was being fully utilised and value for money was being attained.
Being directly affected by redundancy, the thought of searching for new employment after many years was slightly daunting, however, having CLT’s support assisted greatly through this process. They updated my CV and Cover Letter, provided valuable and practical interview information and advice, giving me the confidence to seek out new opportunities. Peter was always available to review my documents, offer advice, forward potential job ads and kept me to task with regular check-ins. The service offered was invaluable.
Peter’s executive services are excellent. He takes a very pragmatic and market based approach that instils confidence and a clear path forward. His authentic and frank style quickly gets to the heart of the matter, and a willingness to listen and understand allow him to craft tailored solutions and pathways for you as an individual. Thank you Peter, and team.
I happen to avail services of CAREER LIFE TRANSITIONS during my own professional transition and from the beginning Peter James worked with me in distilling my skills & professional accomplishments and helped me crystallise what I wanted to transition into. Further, I got help from Peter in updating my CV & LinkedIn profile and I could use their other tools to effectively expand my network and attend interviews with confidence. Peter is process grounded, hands on, pragmatic, engaging and provided personalised tips at appropriate times that enabled me to stay on course. Above all, he stayed with me till the end. I could not recommend Career Life Transitions enough to anyone who is in need of their services.
It was a very pleasant experience from the start to work with David and Peter. After a Covid redundancy after many years in one job and position they helped me to ease back into market requirements and the best way forward into a new role. Even when I decided to start my own business, they reacted very flexibly and supported me with this new idea. Both Fantastic support from the Career Life Transition team along the whole journey, very recommendable!
All the guidance and advice given during the counselling sessions were very helpful. In particular, suggestions given on improving my resume and Linked-In profile as well as tips on interview techniques and how to answer key questions proved to be extremely valuable. Jen did a wonderful job providing me with invaluable advice and recommendations in relation to my career change and development. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your organisation for the help and support offered to me during this challenging time in my career.
It has been a rather difficult time for me getting my feet back to finding another job after the unexpected redundancy at Curtin. I am glad I took up the offer to seek counselling with Career Transitions, more importantly to be blessed with Jennifer as my Consultant.
I would be lost without Jennifer’s support and guidance in coping and making my career transitions. It is nice to have a resource like Jennifer to fall back on for guidance and to bounce career move ideas. Her expert advice provides me with confidence to make better decisions with my career transition options.
I was impressed with Jennifer when she followed-up with a phone call after some time to check on me and to get me back to our sessions. I was at crossroads and did not know what to do, but Jennifer’s call offering help brought me back on track again.
I am considering engaging Jennifer as my career consultant/coach once I get a job moving forward.
I want to thank Jen – she is very good at her job! I found Jen to be an excellent listener. She made me feel very comfortable, she provided me with great advice and guidance.
Jennifer has been supportive, attentive (flexible scheduling, understanding to the various changes in the subsequent months of my leaving previous employment and into this time of Covid-19) to my needs that are very different to other clients’ background than she’s probably used to seeing. She has provided valuable and sound advice and is effective through practical and timely support, in which I am appreciative of.
Thank you Peter for the session yesterday and the additional resources. To say that I found our meeting extremely valuable would be an understatement. I feel fresh, positive and know that I have the tools to be able to create the “space” to change my response and ultimately be able to feel true to my core self.
I know you must hear this all of the time… why didn’t I push the CEO for a formal coaching process earlier!
Jennifer and the team at Career Life are warm and professional.
Career Life’s team are dedicated to placement options and guidance that makes professional sense throughout a wide range of career genres and levels.
I found their input invaluable and no hesitation recommending their services
Exceptional service from a company that truly cares about the people they deal with. Peter thank you so much for your advice and support over the past 3 months. It is truly appreciated.

I had not been in the job market, CV writing or even LinkedIn for close to 30 years. The conversations were very useful to bring me back up to date with current strategies. Ultimately I decided to set up my own business and to discuss ideas was very valuable.
Career Life Transitions has provided me with a confidential space to review ideas and concepts for career moves. It has allowed me to identify my strengths and areas to further develop in order to provide clarity for future direction.
I started a coaching program with Peter James three months ago. It has been a highly beneficial and positive experience. Peter is very gifted in facilitating a journey of self discovery and personal growth – and how that practically impacts on performance in the workplace.
David was fantastic – He made the process of re-thinking my career approach fun and interesting as well as extremely insightful. I highly recommend this process to anyone rethinking career goals and looking to make that next start with practical, individual and professional guidance from David.
I’d highly recommend Peter James to anyone that wishes to enhance their professional life, irrespective of previous experience. Peter is a talented, insightful person, possessing the ability to focus on fine detail and comprehend issues on a very broad scale. Fast-track an understanding of your own business circumstance, by taking time-out to learn from someone that has a great deal to teach.
Jen provided me with valuable advice and tools to assist me in obtaining future employment. Her approach was friendly and professional and she is a real asset to Career Life Transitions.
David Wilkie is awesome. I got so much constructive findings, knowledge, actions out of my meetings with Dave.
I engaged CLT in early 2018. I have really enjoyed working with Peter in what has been a challenging time for financial services. He challenges my thinking across my work spectrum both leadership and management and does not hesitate to suggest a change in thinking or action. I would recommend Peter to anyone who is serious about their business or their career.
Sarah is a fantastic consultant and I’ve already recommended her to a friend. Loads of good advice and practical help.
