Melissa \\u201cLiss\\u201d Kirby has been changing lives as a management consultant for the past thirteen years. Based in Melbourne, she consults internationally and is tied to Q5Partners, located in the UK.

With a background in business, psychology, and political science, Liss began paid internships at some major organizations. Now, several years later, she runs the Melbourne extension of q5partners.

Trust and Being Entrusted were key threads of our conversation. As a management consultant, you\\u2019re an entrusted advisor. She notes that the \\u201cwins\\u201d gained in this position aren\\u2019t about her; \\u201c...you\\u2019re always a back-up singer.\\u201d

Organizational health begins by defining why you exist - what\\u2019s your Purpose? I love this question as a place to start because it\\u2019s the essence of the existential dilemma for every individual. As an individual, it\\u2019s hard to know until you\\u2019re really living your life in Flow. As an organization, it needs to be defined.

Liss asks leaders two key questions:
     \\u2022   How do decisions get made?
     \\u2022  What happens in a crisis?

Though leadership and organization focused, these concepts can relate to each person, as an individual, as well as couples and families.

Then, Q5 looks at:
     \\u2022  Purpose and Strategy
     \\u2022  Organization Design
     \\u2022  Development and Culture - an area that I personally think is fundamentally vital
     \\u2022  Transformation and Change

Liss offers us insight into culture shift and how it is to be co-designed and not dictated.
