About Brett Myles
Practical guidance for the teen and family right in front of you.
How Your Teen Is Wired is created by Brett Myles, who brings nearly 16 years of experience serving teenagers and families in student ministry.
Understand their wiring. Build connection that lasts.
The goal is not a perfect script. It is a better next conversation.
The work behind the guide
Built from years of showing up for real family life.
Brett's years in student ministry have put him alongside teens and families in the ordinary, important moments where communication gets complicated and connection can feel harder to find. That experience shapes the guide's practical, hopeful approach to noticing patterns and opening up conversation.
Today, Brett leads LeadWell, where he helps leaders and teams develop self-awareness, communication, trust, courage, healthy team habits, and useful tools they can put into practice. The same belief carries into this resource: growth gets more possible when people have shared language and a way to talk about what is happening.
LeadWell and GiANT context
Shared language can make practical conversations easier to start.
This guide is informed by Brett's years alongside teens and families, and by the practical self-awareness and communication frameworks he has used in leadership development through LeadWell and GiANT tools.
His experience with GiANT tools and frameworks has helped shape this guide's emphasis on shared language, self-awareness, communication, growth, and practical conversations at home.
A clear distinction
An original resource for connection—not a label for your teen.
How Your Teen Is Wired is an original parent-and-teen resource. It is not a clinical assessment and is not designed to label, diagnose, or fix teens. It offers practical prompts and tools to help families notice, understand, and talk together with more clarity.
