Creating a positive work culture is essential for fostering employee satisfaction, productivity, and organizational success. Recognizing this, VOLT Strategy emerged with a focus on elevating leadership to optimize the work experience..
“My business partner, Gayle Ver Hey, and I started VOLT Strategy to help leaders build a workplace culture where both people and the business thrive,” said Rana DeBoer, chief vision and impact officer.
VOLT Strategy’s mission is simple: to help leaders build healthy, united teams that can work together to reach their full potential.
“We strive to help leaders design and create a healthy workplace environment where individuals know and use their unique strengths and talents to help advance business goals,” shared DeBoer.
DeBoer and Ver Hey work at the intersection of behavioral science and business strategy to create a culture of thriving performance.
“We are authentic, strategic partners providing decades of expertise to help leaders optimize their talent so they can create a quality of life for high-performance in business and life.” – Rana DeBoer
At the heart of it all, DeBoer shares that she wants all of her clients to experience the VOLT Vibe.
“It’s a way of leading at work and in life,” she said. “It’s a way of life that impacts people, businesses, and the community in a healthy way.”
DeBoer continued to share that their strategic and effective approach, GROW, is straightforward and science-based.
GROW is the acronym for goal, reality, opportunities, and way forward. The four-step method begs a question at each stage: “what is your goal?”, “where are you today?”, “what’s possible and what are the options and opportunities to advance and elevate?”, and “what are the winning strategies and action plans for moving forward and what is the motivation and drive to achieve it?”

VOLT stands for Vibrantly Optimizing Leaders & Team for thriving performance in business and life.
“We dig in to deeply understand what your desired goals are and why you want to achieve them,” said DeBoer. “We also help identify what’s stopping you and what might be interfering in the way of progress.”
The ultimate goal is to guide leaders in cultivating a culture that brings their vision to life.
With a focus on developing leaders, VOLT Strategy aims to cultivate a ripple effect, positively impacting organizations, teams, and individuals.
“It’s about helping leaders learn how to embrace leadership as a lifestyle,” said DeBoer. “We help leaders embrace the necessary and required skills of leading, managing, mentoring, and coaching people and what that means to be effective and healthy today and into tomorrow.”
VOLT Strategy offers a comprehensive range of workshops and coaching programs designed to equip leaders with the tools and techniques needed to foster a positive work culture.
“We focus on topics that help build emotional, relational, and conversational intelligence in employees with the use of talent assessment tools to get to know oneself and others,” explained DeBoer.
The workshops aim to help people get to know and lead themselves first and then understand the dynamics of their team and how to work best together.
“We love work style sessions, as it helps everyone see what makes each other tick and how to best work together. That’s where the magic happens,” said DeBoer.
DeBoer continues to say that united, high-performing teams are created through shared experiences, and Ver Hey and herself help facilitate that while learning and growing together.
VOLT Strategy offers Innovations in Leadership Academy, an eight-week journey that offers high levels of interaction, an opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with peers, the ability to network with community leaders, and to experience growth through individual coaching and mentoring.
