About the Podcast

Connecting The Dots with The Renaissance People
with Sara Kobilka
This is a podcast for and by Renaissance People (and people who want to cultivate a Renaissance mindset).

Renaissance People are complex people with interests and expertise in a wide variety of realms.

Referred to with many terms (including multipotentialites, generalists, multi-hyphenates, Jack/Jill-of-all-trades, versatilists, and boundary spanners), we reject the singular niche and embrace a bramble of knowledge, both deep and wide.

We have an insatiable love of learning for the sake of learning. We deeply believe that serendipitous opportunities to apply or share that knowledge will arise. We plant seeds of concepts and cross-pollinate ideas everywhere we go because we never know where an idea might blossom or inspire someone else.

We connect the dots and see commonality in unique ways others cannot because of our diverse experiences.

In collaboration with invited guests, host Sara Kobilka (Renaissance Woman) will explore:

- What it means to be a Renaissance Person in the modern world
- How and where we can thrive
- What inspires us

We'll also flex our creative minds with fun challenges. Think of it as part captivating interview, part game show and part improv performance.

This podcast is part of Sara's effort to build a Renaissance People Community which she invites listeners to join at renwomanconsulting.com/renaissance-people-community

About your host

Sara Kobilka

Hi! I'm your host Sara Kobilka. I own Renaissance Woman Consulting LLC and I'm a dedicated lifelong learner.

Warning, my complexity may overwhelm you, but I'm done simplifying myself and suppressing my passion. I am a loud and proud Renaissance Woman!

What's that? A cheeky play on the term "Renaissance Man" (think Leonardo di Vinci who simultaneously excelled in art, science, engineering and more).

I'm a multipotentialite, building a community for other Renaissance People to revel in our multi-dimensionality. Because we all need to find a place of belonging with "our people" and we don't always fit in the box (that's why we're such creative outside-the-box thinkers!)

In this community, I'm creating opportunities to connect, collaborate and span society's artificial boundaries.

My insatiable curiosity has driven my career path in many directions (but connected with a golden thread of learning and sharing).

My passions include:
• Community building
• Education
• Communication
• Outreach and Engagement
• Networking (esp. with LinkedIn) and Collaboration
• Career Coaching

Diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, access, accessibility and justice remain at the heart of my work. I spell out each word because they all matter and have different meanings.

I've spent years specializing in science communication in TV/radio, education and the non-profit realm. As a scientist, journalist and educator, I bridge gaps between the scientific community and those who consider themselves to be outside of it.
