On behalf of the entire e& HR leadership team, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your outstanding contribution to the recent CHRO roundtable and strategy workshop with our OpCo HR leaders from PTCL, MT, e& PPF, e& Egypt, Afghanistan, Mobily & Careem.
Your reputation as a renowned executive coach precedes you, and your insights during the session only reinforced why you are so highly regarded in the field. Your ability to create alignment, foster strategic dialogue, and inspire a unified vision among the OpCo CHROs was both impactful and deeply appreciated. You helped build not only clarity of purpose but also a stronger sense of community across our diverse HR leadership teams.
Your guidance reflected the spirit of Unite as One — enabling us to collaborate across borders, celebrate our collective strengths, and commit together to the shared ambition.
We truly value your partnership and look forward to continuing our collaboration with you. Your expertise will remain instrumental as we move forward with key initiatives.
Coaching with Dr. Corrie is both challenging and energizing.

Corrie is a genuinely loving leader, and Business is Personal is a timely toolkit for empathy, trust, and inspiration in leadership. True performance comes from recognising business cannot be separated from the people who drive it.
