Professor Ashlynn Reynolds-Dyk takes the TEDx stage to share her guide to strategic imperfection in this insightful talk. Reynolds-Dyk uses relatable examples, such as the farmer's decision-making process, to demonstrate how accepting mediocrity can be a deliberate and effective choice for progress. Learn the art of discernment and when to prioritize moving forward over perfection in the pursuit of more valuable tasks and goals. A self-proclaimed perfectionist, Ashlynn has come to understand how perfectionism can get in the way of making good things happen. She has learned a greater appreciation for trial and error, taking a risk, and just doing it.
As an Assistant Professor of Rhetorical Studies at Rocky Mountain College, Dr. Reynolds-Dyk teaches courses in writing, rhetoric, communication, and media. Recognized by her students, colleagues, and local community for her emphasis on service learning and civic engagement, Ashlynn is a recipient of the University of Montana’s Grizzly of the Decade award and The Billings Gazette’s Forty Under 40 award.
Most importantly, Ashlynn is the proud mother of three school-age children. She was born and raised in Dillon, MT where she developed a love of the rural outdoor life through camping, dirt biking, skiing, fishing, and hunting. She also enjoys writing, speaking, designing, and creating because of the freedom that comes with them. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
