Join business leader, board member, and executive coach Kaye Foster and world renowned designer Ayse Birsel as they explore how we might forge uncommon allies to support the common good & deconstruct and then reconstruct our own approach to life, leadership and the things we surround ourselves with to extend our purpose & meaning.

1 Deconstruction, Reconstruction – Ayse Birsel has spent her career exploring how design can transform products into joyful, loving, and powerful experiences.
