170. Think and grow rich results! with Jhumar Johnson

170. Think and grow rich results! with Jhumar Johnson

Thinking (more) is a powerful way to grow results.

Of course, in our busy and ever more distracted world, it’s not always easy to find time to think. That said, we’ve noticed that fundraisers who are very effective and also resilient, usually find a way to deliberately build thinking time into their week.

If this idea appeals, but you often struggle to do it in practice, this episode is for you. Jhumar Johnson is Chief of Staff to the Vice Chancellor at the Open University. Her demanding role includes that of Development Director, so she has a lot to get done.

Five years ago, a mentor showed her the power of ‘think time’, and she’s found it a hugely valuable habit ever since. In the interview Jhumar explains why she finds it so helpful. She also shares practical tips for how other fundraisers and leaders can build more thinking time into their work.

We’d love to know what you think about these ideas! Jhumar and Rob are both on LinkedIn.
