In this insightful episode of The Coaching Edge Podcast, hosts Erwin de Grave and Steve Jeffs sit down with veteran corporate coach Ann Farrell to explore the transformational power of coaching within organizations. With over 48 years of experience, Ann brings a rare blend of executive insight and systemic coaching wisdom, focusing on how leaders at all levels can foster impactful, human-centric workplaces.

Ann dives into the importance of recognizing the shadow in leadership—how behavior, more than words, influences those around us. She discusses how coaching can uncover blind spots, strengthen team dynamics, and support leaders in truly understanding how they land with others. Drawing from her corporate journey and her work with coaches through Quantum Endeavors, she shares how creating space for reflection and energy management fuels strategic growth and prevents burnout.

The conversation also touches on redefining productivity, the necessity of “unscheduled time,” and the magic of bringing humanity into systems—one whole human at a time. Ann advocates for an empowered approach to business where energy, legacy, and authenticity drive success.

Listeners will walk away inspired by Ann’s example of sustainable leadership and practical strategies to elevate both individual and organizational coaching practices.
