Conference Speaking
Leaders in the fire service quickly realized almost all of the job is managing people. You could have every special tactical and technical training and certification in the book, but none of that matters when it comes to people.
Being a good leader requires strength and vulnerability. And we have a no-bullshit, authentic approach to helping leaders in the fire service manage their people.
Guest Speaking and Keynotes
The Brimstone Collective delivers engaging keynote presentations and guest speaking experiences designed to strengthen leadership through practical, people-focused strategies. Whether you need a 45-minute keynote, a department lunch-and-learn event, a leadership seminar, or a panel expert, we can adapt one of our four core topics to meet the goals of your department, training division, or conference.
Capt. Brett Porter provides relevant insights, real-world examples, and actionable tools that attendees can immediately apply within their organizations. Every session is designed to inspire stronger leaders, build healthier teams, and create lasting impact, ensuring attendees leave with practical strategies they can implement.
Conference and Break-Out Facilitations
Brimstone Collective’s breakout sessions are designed to move beyond lectures and create meaningful, hands-on learning experiences.

Available in two-, four-, or six-hour formats, each session is customized to the needs of your conference, agency, or organization.

“I don’t feel like this kind of training has ever been taught before. It gave a different perspective on the importance of empathy. I feel like it has given me confidence and techniques to approach discipline differently.”
“The Designated Adult course helped me recognize the issues we were seeing repeatedly in my department with better clarity and communication.”
“Boss Trauma is real! These courses helped me remember that being a boss is difficult especially when you have a firefighter who was not led well in the past. That memory of being mistreated and uncared for can really breed toxicity in a crew. Taking the Brimstone class solidified how important it is to be a good leader.”
“This course helped me better define my personal issues in leadership and clearly set goals to move forward.”
