Featured on TheForage.com: Sara Lobkovich providing insightful guidance on finding fulfilling work that aligns with introverted traits. Rather than limiting job seekers to traditionally "introvert-friendly" roles, Lobkovich encourages following curiosity and identifying which activities "charge your batteries" versus those that deplete them. Her expertise in working with neurodivergent professionals and unconventional thinkers shines through as she reframes introversion as a potential strength rather than a limitation. The article, which includes a detailed exploration of various career options from data analysis to creative fields, highlights Lobkovich's unique perspective as a "career fulfillment coach" who helps people find roles that naturally fit their specific cognitive makeup. This feature reinforces her position as an advocate for those who think differently, particularly introverts seeking to leverage their natural capabilities in the workplace without masking or self-abandonment.

Work is so much more than your daily responsibilities: how you work, where you work, who you work with, and how success is measured are crucial qualities that can make or break how you feel about a job. When job hunting, it’s essential to consider how your personality factors into the role — especially if you’re an introvert.

“Introverts often shine when given the space and time to reflect and do deep, focused work,” says Sara Lobkovich, founder of Red Currant Collective and host of the Thinkydoers podcast. “They don’t need to change who they are — they just need to find an environment that allows their natural strengths to flourish.”

The OKR expert offers a powerful thesis: if we want to care for underserved employees and drive real progress at a time when our civil rights and free speech are under attack, we need to stop using vibes and start using data. This way of working can shift power into the hands of neurodivergent professionals, women of color, introverts, and folks who don’t conform to dominant norms.
