About
Most resilience speakers teach the research. I lived it — on camera. As a 33-year Fire Captain and the subject of the New York Times documentary An Act of Service, I became the first firefighter to publicly document my own healing, and I turned it into the BRAVE Framework: a field-tested system audiences can use Monday morning.
Brave Under Pressure
The Brave Leader
45–60 minutes (keynote) — expandable to a half-day workshop
The toughest cultures often produce the most fragile people. Drawing on 33 years in the fire service — and the leadership lessons of negotiating a record union contract and chairing high-stakes disputes — Rob shows leaders why psychological safety isn't soft; it's the highest-performance move available. Using the BRAVE Framework and the science of post-traumatic growth and allostatic load, he gives leaders a practical language for pressure, a model for vulnerability that builds trust instead of eroding authority, and a system for teams that perform under load without burning out.
