Career expert, founder of Project Roar, and the person behind every program. For over 20 years, she's helped professionals stop being overlooked and start being sought after.

the founder
Built for Individuals, and Organisations.
Catherine Harris spent more than two decades inside the hiring process - as a recruiter, a talent strategist, and a career coach. She watched capable, experienced people get overlooked. Not because they lacked talent, but because they didn't know how to communicate it.
She saw the same patterns repeat. Strong candidates filtered out by ATS systems before a human ever read their resume. Confident professionals who fell apart in interviews. High performers passed over for promotions they deserved, because they'd never learned to advocate for themselves internally.
The Next Move (for individuals) and Project Roar (for organisations) were built to fix that. Not with generic advice or off-the-shelf courses, but with practical, proven frameworks grounded in how hiring decisions are actually made, and what it takes to stand out on both sides of the table.
“Most people already have what they need. What they lack is an outside perspective that cuts through bias, fear, and habit.”
Today Catherine works with individuals navigating career transitions and job searches, and with organisations looking to develop their people, build leadership capability, and support employees through redundancy.
Every program she delivers is built on the same foundation: clarity first, then confidence, then results.

what we stand for
the conviction behind the work
Project Roar isn't built on motivation or mindset fluff. It's built on a simple belief: people don't lack talent or potential - they lack clarity. When direction isn't clear, confidence drops and decisions stall.
Restore clarity, and self-belief returns. Ground it in methods that are proven to work, and confidence follows. That's the sequence every program is built around.
Clarity Over Comfort
We don't sugar-coat. We help people see the truth of where they are and what's possible, even when it's uncomfortable.
Real Support
We say what needs to be said, but we don't leave people to figure it out alone. Honest guidance, direct feedback, ongoing support until they succeed.
Earned Confidence
Confidence doesn't manifest out of thin air. It's built through insight, self-awareness, and action - off the back of solid guidance.
Uncovering Strengths
Our clients mostly already have what they need. Our role is to uncover it, shape it, and help them use it with intention.
how we work
practical frameworks. not generic advice.

Your path to success
Catherine's approach is grounded in practical frameworks, not theory. She teaches you how to build an ATS-optimised resume that gets read, a LinkedIn profile that attracts opportunities, and interview responses that communicate value under pressure.
For organisations, she designs programs around what your people actually need, drawing from a broad capability base and delivering in a way that creates lasting behavioural change.
Direct
We say what needs to be said, clear, honest, without dressing it up. It’s why clients trust us.
Strategic
Every move is intentional, grounded in context, and aligned to a bigger picture.
Assured
Calm confidence, not bravado. We've seen enough to know
what works.
Human
Meet people where they are empathetic, not soft. Supportive, not indulgent.
