When leaders Shift to Lead™, organizations shift to traction.

Change isn’t slowing. Pressure isn’t easing.
And even high-performing leaders feel the strain when interpretation fractures and execution drags.
When decisions loop…
When meetings repeat…
When teams wait instead of move…
The issue isn’t capability.
It’s the leadership signal behind performance — the part strategy can’t see, but pressure exposes instantly.
At Howes Consulting Solutions, we strengthen that signal.
We integrate Organizational Change Management with human-centered practices to create motion that holds—
clarity people follow, steadiness people trust, and execution that sustains under pressure.
Restore traction before the next quarter stalls.

Across energy, finance, technology, and public sectors, leaders report:
✅ Faster, cleaner decisions
✅ Shorter, sharper meetings
✅ Stronger follow-through
✅ Steadier leadership under pressure
✅ Noticeable improvement within a single quarter
Bold moves create measurable results — and motion that holds.

One method. Three applications. Motion that holds across self, team, and organization.
🔵 PreShift™ — Recalibration
Steady your signal before pressure intensifies.
🟨 StoryShift™ — Activation
Turn clarity into conviction people move with.
🟥 ChangeShift™ — Execution
Lead motion that holds—especially when conditions shift.
Recalibration → Activation → Execution

We partner with senior leaders and teams to strengthen the human performance factors that determine whether execution holds:
• clarity under pressure
• cleaner interpretation in fast cycles
• steadier presence
• decisions made without rework
• motion that stays aligned when conditions shift
No heavyweight frameworks. No overbuilt models.
Just the human systems behind performance

Most execution problems aren’t technical. They’re human.
We diagnose the real breakdowns:
✅Misalignment inside leadership teams
✅ Misfiring signals under pressure
✅ Competing interpretations of direction
✅Alignment that looks good on paper but falls apart in practice
✅Direction that's clear on paper but unclear in practice
And we restore:
Clear signal → steady motion → traction that holds.

Leadership isn't about titles—it's about motion.
If any of these sound familiar:
✅ Busy teams, uneven movement
✅ Decisions managing risk instead of creating progress
✅ Presence tightening the room instead of steadying it
✅ Execution stalling without clear cause
✅ Pressure felt before anyone speaks
Then you don’t need more urgency.
You need a stronger signal.
You’re already leading.
We ensure your signal leads too.
From signal to success: motion that holds.
