Julie!! I'm presenting at the Maryland School Counselor’s Conference in a week, and you get a mention because of the BHAG!!! I loved reading about this in your book and it has stuck with me.🥰
Thank you, this made so much sense. I chatted about this with my 12yr old son yesterday. He’s just passionately started teaching himself the guitar and his immediate B-HAG is playing in a band regularly and perform a gig. This didn’t feel would be tricky to help with.
Then he surprised me with, “finish the book I’m writing on my laptop and have it published”. I was so excited by this but then wasn’t prepared for feeling a little anxious on how to go about helping with this, without squashing his enthusiasm. He hated writing a year ago before we started using the Bravewriter way :)
Would you wait until he’s finished and then suggest he reads a bit at a time and reviews if he wants to make changes? Spelling grammar etc. Or after he’s done a few chapters ask him to read them and ask questions curiously so he has feed back to whether the reader understands what he’s hoping to get across?
As it’s his B-HAG It feels a cautious area to approach as he’s pouring himself into it and trusts me now.
Yes, exactly. Let him write and thoroughly support and enjoy it and feel no responsibility to edit it at all. Pretend he is playing in dress up clothes acting out a scene. You wouldn’t interfere, you would just let it evolve.

I love that! Thank you! Also the BHAG acronym is original to Jim Collins, business expert. I repurposed it, in case you want to mention that as well!
I will. Thank you.
Ok this opening photo just melts me to my core! 🥹
So inspiring, like always!
This is inspiring and freeing all at once. Thank you!

Thank you Julie, ‘dress up’ a great way of seeing it in it’s essence 😍
