Who We Are at Volt Consultancy

Michelle Vaughton

Founder, VOLT Consultancy

Welcome to VOLT - a space I created to help people reconnect with their spark – that sense of energy and purpose that often gets buried under the demands of daily life. My mission is to support individuals, teams, and businesses in rediscovering their potential, boosting performance, and finding more happiness in both work and life.

I bring a unique blend of leadership development, well-being, and yoga to the table. I combine my years of experience in business with mindful practices to create meaningful, lasting change.

I’m also a fan of a cold water dip! The clarity and energy it brings are my reset button, helping me stay grounded and focused. It’s amazing what a simple moment like that can do for your mind and body.

As a dedicated and experienced people development consultant, with over 30 years of experience in finance, retail, and manufacturing—from corporates to family-run businesses and global brands, I’m here to help your organisation unlock its potential by empowering your people. With a blend of strategic insight, cultural transformation, leadership development and a strong emphasis on well- being equity and inclusion, I ensure sustainable growth and a thriving, motivated workforce.

I believe prioritising resilience, well-being, and purpose empowers people to overcome challenges, drive innovation, and achieve peak performance.

I develop and deliver impactful learning initiatives and workshops (in-person and online), provide coaching and mentoring, and facilitate unique events (as a qualified yoga teacher).

What We Offer

A Bit About Me

Outside of work, I'm a dedicated yoga teacher, which helps me maintain balance and flexibility in all aspects of life. I’m the proud mother of a 15-year-old son, who keeps me on my toes and reminds me of the importance of curiosity and resilience. Additionally, I serve as Chair of Governors at a local school, where I champion education and development for the next generation.

I collaborate with leaders and executive board to map, create, and execute strategic initiatives aimed at accelerating business performance and enhancing employee engagement.
