Change Leadership & Transformation Advisor
Susan Howes
Founder, Howes Consulting Solutions
For more than twenty-five years, I have worked inside complex enterprise environments where governance, technology, and workforce alignment intersect.
I partner with leaders when sustained pressure begins distorting execution.
In pressured environments, work rarely collapses first.
It tightens.
Rework increases. Escalations cluster.
Ownership weakens. Load concentrates.
Risk moves closer to commitments.
I correct the conditions destabilizing execution so change holds under pressure.
Most engagements begin with Flow Review™.
How I Work
I don't sell programs. I work inside real conditions.
Most engagements follow a simple sequence:
We start with Flow Review™ to clarify the safest next move.
If warranted, we move into Pressure Recalibration™, Activation Lab™ or Shift to Lead Advisory™
Most leaders reach out 30–90 days before a visible decision or milestone.
When People Call
Leaders reach out when decisions keep reopening, progress depends on follow-up, teams hesitate, or the leader becomes the workaround
They stay because decisions hold, delivery steadies, escalation risk drops, and leadership load redistributes.
Shift to Lead™. Shift what matters.
Before the next quarter hits —recalibrate first.
PreShift explores the leadership shift required before story, strategy, and change can hold.
