Our Name – Kaleidoscope Consulting
As a child, my toy Kaleidoscopes transported me to another world.
I always loved discovering new and exciting kaleidoscopes to peer into – enjoying the colour, change and variety offered by each.
So it seemed only natural to name my business ‘Kaleidoscope’, the perfect word to reflect my passion for the ever-changing colours, patterns and shapes of business and life.

Lisa Baker’s Philosophy
Too many organisations display their vision, values or philosophies on their website or on their entrance foyer wall & leave it at that.
That’s the easy part. Living by them is the hard part. At Kaleidoscope Consulting, we challenge you to live by all you believe in an honest, accountable and consistent way. And that’s exactly what we strive to do ourselves.
We believe that people and organisations can only achieve their potential when they are courageous, passionate, open and committed to their learning and growth.
But, There’s More To Lisa Baker Than Her Work
“As a lifelong learner I seek to extend myself and my practice every day.”
“I am always inspired by other people and their stories – which invite me to reflect on my own life and work. I live by strong personal values that inspire me to maintain a healthy balance including family, relationships and humour. Based in Melbourne, my passion for the Western Bulldogs (men and women), gardening and my Border Collies also keep me on an even keel.”
