Bryan Miles - The Way We Work Doesn’t Work Anymore","description":"<p><em>“If I’m going to make a dent in this world, I have only a certain amount of time… So rather than watch that time be wasted away, I’d rather be intentional with it.”</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Along with his wife Shannon, Bryan Miles is committed to rewriting the workplace mindset.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Driven by his manifesto that <em>“the way we work doesn’t work anymore”</em>, Bryan inspires businesses to liberate their employees and transform their culture with remote working.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Far from losing control over staff, Bryan argues home-based workers are happier and more productive.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With more autonomy over their day, working from home allows people to contribute more to their family life - as well as someone else’s place of work. As a result, they’re more motivated to do their best work for their employer.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is something Bryan has experienced first-hand.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With over 600 remote-working employees, Bryan believes working for his company - BELAY Solutions - ruins staff for anyone else! When people experience a culture of trust, autonomy, and freedom, they don’t want to settle for anything less.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><em>“When I pray I don’t just beg for wisdom. I beg for the courage to act when I get that wisdom.”&nbsp;</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One of the reasons Bryan has been able to build such a successful virtual culture for so many people is because he’s a master of organization.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Intentional with his time and committed to be the best steward possible in all his roles, Bryan is able to achieve success in both his personal and professional life.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was filled with gratitude after interviewing Bryan. He crushed my belief that big companies need an office and left me with a stack of insights that will help JavaPresse grow. He’s also inspired me to be a better man with some simple, yet smart organizational strategies.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I’m certain Bryan will inspire you to leverage the benefits that more order can bring for your life too.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><em>“Organization makes me happy.
