Our Story

We started Red Brick Group to provide professional development solutions to organizations who seek to continuously raise the bar. We can help you accelerate learning, growth, and professional development for your respective agencies. We believe that professional development represents the foundation of a healthy, effective and efficient organization. Our creative, comprehensive and coordinated approach to professional development sets the stage for continuous improvement. We work with each customer to provide a combination of professional research, professional development and professional support. These three principles represent the pillars of our approach to building a solid foundation for the continued development of your staff and your organization. Brick by brick. 

Working in a medium-sized fire department we have been through many of the growing pains your organization has faced. Like you, we have experienced up's and down's, success and failure. But all along the way, we have grown. We have grown to understand our challenges and our limits. We have learned to take continuous stock of our skills and to continually, reevaluate and refresh our beliefs and understanding. 

Our services are designed to understand the culture of your organization, while working towards a shared-vision of how to improve employee retention, talent development and morale. All of which are directly correlated with culture formation. Proper succession planning is dependent on your staff having a roadmap to follow for the entirety of their careers. Our objective is to provide clients with more than a good feeling when they leave the room. More importantly, our desire is to provide clients with an exceptional product that lasts well beyond our initial relationship. 

Red Brick Group is built off the foundation of creating a partnership with your organization. We will learn from you about what you know best. Your department. Your jurisdiction. Your challenges and your goals. Our goal is not to critique your operations, but to understand them and assist in providing a highly-effective, professional framework to build from. Together we can offer solutions that reduce your burden due to staffing and time and allow you to accelerate what's important: building a strong team. Building stronger pieces. Brick by brick. 

Our primary focus is to help equip you with the tools and foundational elements to you construct and deliver for your staff. We want to provide you with the toolkit necessary to build and maximize value. To allow you and your staff to focus on your skills and resources and use them to build value. Throughout the nation fire department's fail to share knowledge, information, and resources. While each discipline has groups and meetings, we discuss concepts and ideas, and rarely executable action. 

The moment we stop learning we stop growing. We have learned from our mistakes. We have grown. We realize that "if you are the smartest guy in the room, you need to find a different room." We believe that to create long-term, sustainable success, we need to focus on the "whole" person. We need to combine our institutional knowledge and skills, modern science and teachings, physical and mental health, formal education, and practical training to create a legacy for our organizations. 

Red Brick Group is not exciting. We are not flashy. We've all attended classes that make you want to run through a wall. There are incredible instructors across the country. Incredible motivators, leaders, etc. But each time you leave that room, you have to figure out what and how to apply what you've learned. That is where we start. We help you develop the tools, resources, and knowledge to deliver for your men and women.
