Meet Marc Corsini
I help executives in a variety of industries do what they do better. As a business coach for almost 30 years and president of a successful consulting group, I’ve worked with hundreds of business owners, executives and professionals, helping them find work-life balance so they can become the best version of themselves—in the office and out of it, too.
As legendary coach John Wooden said, “Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.” I coach this ambitious and positive mindset every day, and I’ve done so for decades. I have written four books about using a whole-person approach to life and work that is based on my 7 F’s of True Success model.
To expand my circle of influence, I am a Vistage Chair, leading two CEO groups and one Key Executive group of business leaders who are striving for rapid growth. I challenge their thinking, prompting them to consider new ideas and alternatives to business as usual. It is a collaborative effort where members share expertise and experience to lead themselves and others to greater success. Gold is polished through friction, and that is what happens in our groups: Successful people are encouraged to get uncomfortable in order to break through barriers and achieve their goals.
I am a Georgia Tech graduate and former trustee of the university’s National Alumni Association. I loved being involved in Boy Scouts, as an assistant scoutmaster, with my two sons who are both Eagle Scouts now. My wife, Susan, and I served in the infant foster care program through Catholic Family Services. We have three children and live in Birmingham.

A Father’s Letter to His Sons
With Father’s Day coming up, I decided to write a letter to my sons about how to play the “man game.” I call it the “man game,” but, really, being the best man you can possibly be is serious business. I wanted to write down my advice right now in case God pulls my...
Vacation
Summer’s here, and it’s time again to go somewhere with your family/friends and do something fun away from the office. I recently had an executive confide in me that he hated to go on vacation! It’s not that he didn’t want to be with his family and his friends. It was...
The Story of Two Wolves
I recently attended the 58th annual Greater Birmingham Mayors’ Prayer Breakfast. It’s held on the first Thursday in May each year, which also happens to be the National Day of Prayer. At the local event, mayors from around the Birmingham area come together to promote...
Company Culture
As we discussed in our “When Too Much is Not a Good Thing” blog, these days, employees often have the upper hand. Labor shortages mean they can ask for more (pay, benefits, flexibility, etc.) and they expect more from their companies in other ways, too. They want to...
When Too Much is Not a Good Thing
Recently a manager came to me for career advice. He had worked at a well-respected company for more than a decade. While this company was not one of my clients, I knew he had enjoyed working there. But now he was deeply unhappy. Over the last couple of years,...
A Great Lesson on Stress
I think everyone on the planet would agree that during the last two years our stress has increased. Exponentially. And in just about all areas of life. The Covid-19 pandemic impacted us all in lots of different ways. We’ve changed how we work, shop, parent, learn,...
