#227 Sara Lobkovich: Why Playing Life on Hard Mode Might Be Your Best Advantage – Part Two

Some people color inside the lines. Others—like Sara Lobkovich—ditch the coloring book altogether and make their own rules. 

A proud introvert, ADHDer, and change-maker, Sara turned years of navigating life’s twists into two books designed to help others do the same. In Part 1, we’ll hear how she went from feeling like an outsider to building a thriving career by embracing what makes her different. And in Part 2, we’ll break down her books—what’s inside, who they’re for, and why they actually work.

Key Highlights of Our Interview:

A Love Letter To Square Pegs Who Don't Fit In

"This book is a love letter to me earlier in my career. I know I'm not alone. I know there are so many other people who are having experiences like I did.

If I had written this earlier in my life, if I had somehow had the capacity to write this earlier in my life, I would have written a book to people who are strategically wired and feel like they don't fit in a world that's really focused on tactics to people who feel like square pegs in their careers, like we're always a square peg trying to fit into a round hole and just don't fit in."

Two Books, One Mission: Simplifying Strategy and Goal Setting

“I realized I had two books: one is the No BS OKRs workbook, and the other is about modernized, human-centered strategic planning.”

The Moment ‘You Are a Strategist’ Became the Book Title I Had to Write

“I knew the title had to be ‘You Are a Strategist.’ I rewrote the book to deliver on that title.”

Empowering Your Inner Strategist: No Matter What Job You Do

“You might be a dishwasher, noticing things in the restaurant—there’s strategy in everything we do.”
