Why we exist
Every leader deserves to thrive, not just survive.
But right now, this is out of reach for too many executives. Most leadership development programs are too generic, failing to address the unique challenges faced by CEOs, CHROs, VPs, and senior leaders.
A leader might be skilled enough to run a Fortune 500 company—and yet struggle with overwhelm and ineffective decision-making. We think that's unacceptable!
Crucible was founded by a leader
just like you
As Teresa Vozza was navigating her role as a Chief Human Resources Officer for a global Fortune 500 organization, she realized that traditional leadership training wasn't cutting it.
She started wondering why companies invest in generic programs when what leaders really need is personalized, practical support they can use in real-time scenarios. There were plenty of leadership books and seminars, but nothing that truly addressed the day-to-day challenges of executive life.
Teresa wasn't satisfied with the level of support she saw executive leaders receive as pressure and internal politics mounted. As leaders burnt out and complained around her, she was determined to find out if there was a better way.
Conversations with other leaders quickly confirmed that this was a real problem. In 2020, Teresa left her corporate role and after extensive research and development, Crucible was finally launched.
My Crucible Moment

“Crucible is more than just a coaching company. We are a team dedicated to creating more effective, resilient, and authentic leaders. I firmly believe that no executive should ever have to feel overwhelmed or unprepared.”

“What sets Teresa apart is her profound understanding of executive culture.”
Her impressive experience and unparalleled coaching go beyond surface-level.

Where others miss the mark, Teresa reveals what truly matters and creates a deep connection.”
Anouschka Bruggeman, GM | General Motors Canadian Regional Leader
“Startegic is the word that comes to mind when I think about Teresa”.
I’ve had the pleasure of attending Teresa's Career Development Workshop, during which I was impressed with her ability to engage our CFO's in a thought provoking and direct dialogue focusing on developing influence and impact at the C-Suite.
Above all, I was impressed with Teresa's ability to clearly articulate the symbiotic relationship between CFO and CEO, the keys to a successful career and desired business outcomes.
Most importantly, Teresa thinks from a solution mindset."
Larry Cooper, CPA, Group Chair at MacKay CEO Forums and Red to Black CFO
