Your ability to make someone feel like you understand them well – the quality of your listening – is one thing that stands out to employers and colleagues. As Mary Beaulieu of Harvard Kennedy School puts it, listening provides the soil from which outstanding leaders grow.

🙋 Ever catch yourself doubting your abilities? Imposter Syndrome is when you doubt your own skills and successes. You feel you're not as talented or worthy as others believe, and you're scared that one day, people will realize that. (Source: WebMD) It’s more common than you think, with research showing it’s increasing among professionals and students alike. Our pilot study at Harvard established that participants in a Convu Peer Coaching program experienced less Imposter Syndrome than a control group. Hear from Leslie Turner, MPH about her transformative experience. #Convu #ImposterSyndrome #ImposterPhenomenon

Convu Dictionary 📕 At Convu we have built a vocabulary that helps explain our principles, methodology and learnings. Here is a cheat sheet that defines the words you will often hear us use. #Convu #LearningConversation #PeerCoaching

Counselors, coaches, mentors and consultants... beware! The temptation to advise comes in many shapes and sizes; but too much advising kills trust and undermines learning. Listening practice can help you put advice-giving in its place. Your highest priority as a listener is to facilitate learning. The job of an effective listener is not to fix a client's problems, but rather to facilitate a safe space for self-discovery, learning and growth. #Convu #LearningConversation #CoachingConversation #AdviceTrap

Are peers an overlooked resource? In our study Harvard University, we found that students and researchers were able to provide effective listening to their peers in fields ranging from Business and Law to Education, Medicine and Design. Participants learned to develop their natural ability to listen attentively, and provided support to their peers that was assessed as highly valuable--including greater clarity, coping with challenges, and developing interpersonal skills.

Convu started as a small pilot at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and grew to become the Harvard University Peer Coaching Initiative (HUPCI), an extra-curricular professional development program that serves 60 to 80 active participants per semester. The HUPCI attracts undergraduates, graduates and post-doctoral researchers. Now in its 5th year, the program has reached over 500 students from ALL of Harvard's Schools, including Business, Law, Medicine, Government, Education, Divinity and Engineering. Follow us to hear some of their stories of growth and empowerment. #Convu #PeerCoaching #Openness #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalGrowth

Convu's program at Harvard University, The Harvard University Peer Coaching Initiative (HUPCI), is a two-time winner of grants from the Harvard Culture Lab Innovation Fund. Compared to a waitlist of interested students, after one semester participants reported feeling: - Less loneliness - Less Imposter Phenomenon - Greater thriving (as measured by the Brief Inventory of Thriving) - Greater willingness to share their challenges and difficulties - Greater curiosity about another's point of view, even when disagreeing Fueled by our dedication to making good listening more available, Convu is evolving. We aim to collaborate with other universities, communities, and workplaces. Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/ebGFZuur #Convu #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalGrowth #Harvard
