Warwick Fairfax
Reflective Adviser | Illuminating Storyteller | Founder, Crucible Leadership
As the founder of Crucible Leadership and a trusted adviser, I teach the power of embracing one’s crucible moments as a path to living and leading with significance in all areas of life.
Growing up in a prominent family-owned media business in Australia that I eventually led — and lost — I’ve both witnessed and experienced the challenges of high-pressure, high-impact leadership. After losing a 150-year-old family business, I took some time to examine not only my own shortcomings and losses, but also life principles and lessons I’ve learned from family members that came before me as well as some of history’s greatest leaders.
Born out of these insights, I sought out to develop a life practice for living and leading with uncompromised authenticity. Crucible Leadership employs the learning power of story and a philosophical approach to allow each individual to discover their own unique path to leading a life of significance.
My career has spanned banking, aviation services, and media before becoming an executive coach and writer. I hold an undergraduate degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from Oxford University and earned my MBA from Harvard Business School. In addition to starting Crucible Leadership, I’m currently an International Coach Federation (ICF) certified executive coach, I serve on the Board of Annapolis Area Christian School, and am an Elder at Bay Area Community Church. I currently reside in Annapolis, Maryland, with my wonderful wife, Gale. Together, we have three great kids who are in the process of developing their own unique paths.
