Doing Your Imperfect Best with Jason Freeman

November 14, 2025

Watch a special hybrid presentation of “Doing Your Imperfect Best” with Jay Nolan Board Member, Jason Freeman. Jason has presented TED Talks and is the published author of the book “Awkwardly Awesome: Embracing My Imperfect Best”. Doing our imperfect best means doing the best we can for our own lives and the lives around us, and then going forward and taking action. When imperfections, mistakes or uncertainties come up, instead of retreating from them, we try to learn from it and move forward.
