Renaissance People Community

I am building a space for my fellow Renaissance People!

What’s a Renaissance Person? Good question!

If you’re a multipotentialite, multi-hyphenate, Jack/Jill-of-all-trades, versatilist, generalist, boundary spanner…if you identify with any/all of those terms, this is YOU

Sara smiles knowingly as she points directly at the camera's lens as if saying "you" should be part of this community.
Yes, you, person staring at this screen!

Wait, who are you again?

Hi! I’m Sara Kobilka, Renaissance Woman! In the below LinkedIn post, I explained a little more about what that means.

I’m in the midst of preparing my first podcast episode where I further introduce myself. But if you’re curious and can’t wait, find more below!

But WHY are you building this community, Sara?

I strongly believe in the power of community and our connections with others. And as a Renaissance Person, I’ve struggled to find a space where I truly belonged in all of my multitudes. Where I didn’t overwhelm others with my complexity. Where I could simultaneously use my right brain and my left brain for maximum impact.

And as I’ve shared this idea, I’ve heard reoccurring themes.

  • It’s so hard to find “my space” or “my people”
  • Thank you for rejecting society’s message that I need to just choose one path
  • Connecting with other curious people reinvigorates me
  • Thank you for articulating what I’ve been struggling to explain to others

What will this look like?

We’re building the plane as we fly it! Here’s what is planned so far…

(Coming November 12, 2025!)

Logo for Connecting the Dots with The Renaissance People. Portions of the letters "o", "i" and "g" in the words "Connecting" and “Dots” are colored dots with lines extending from them down to a portion of the Renaissance Woman Consulting LLC logo which is a multicolored brain with both sides lit up and multicolored dots circling it. Some dots are connected via a golden thread, giving the impression of the model of an atom or a solar system.
