About Marc Corsini
I help CEOs, business owners, and senior executives become better leaders, build stronger organizations, and live more meaningful lives.
For more than 30 years, I have worked alongside business leaders facing the challenges that come with growth, responsibility, and success. While every engagement begins with a business opportunity or leadership challenge, the conversation often extends beyond strategy and performance. It also includes relationships, purpose, faith, personal growth, and the question every leader eventually faces:
What does success really look like?
My role is not to tell people what to do. It is to help them think more clearly, see their blind spots, challenge their assumptions, and make better decisions. Through executive coaching, consulting, and Vistage peer advisory groups, I create environments where leaders can have honest conversations, learn from one another, and grow both professionally and personally.
I believe leadership is an inside-out journey. Business success matters, but it becomes far more meaningful when it is aligned with what matters most in life. That belief inspired my 7 F’s of True Success framework and my four books on leadership, balance, and personal development.
Today, I serve as a Vistage Chair, leading CEO and Key Executive peer groups in Alabama while continuing to coach executives and business owners across a variety of industries. The greatest privilege of my work is watching leaders become not only more successful, but also more grounded, more self-aware, and more fulfilled.
As I enter what I call the Fourth Quarter of life, I find myself increasingly focused on significance over success, relationships over accomplishments, and impact over recognition. My goal is simple: to help people become the best version of themselves while living a life they are proud to call their own.
My wife Susan and I live in Birmingham, Alabama. We are blessed with three children, a growing circle of lifelong friendships, and opportunities to serve others through our faith and community.
Success is not just what you accomplish. It is who you become along the way.

The very first Veterans Day parade in the entire country happened right here in Birmingham. That’s remarkable, I know, but so is the story behind this accomplishment. It happened on November 11, 1947, thanks to a man named Raymond Weeks. Weeks was a Navy veteran from...
All Souls’ Day: 5 Regrets of the Dying

Getting Uncomfortable
I recently was working with an executive manager who needed his salespeople to increase their social media presence professionally, especially on LinkedIn. The company invested in LI training, created instructions on how to set up a profile, shared best practices,...
Positively Optimistic
There’s a lot wrong with the world right now. A global pandemic, for one thing. Division within our country over, well, all kinds of issues large and small. Wars and poverty and homelessness and inequality. But … there’s a lot that’s right about the world right now,...
Lessons of The Great Resignation, Part 2 of 2
People are putting themselves first now. And they’re also working toward higher goals. The pandemic has changed not only how we work, but also why we do it. And that is key to “The Great Resignation” we’re seeing happening across all kinds of industries. Many people...
The Great Resignation Era, Part 1 of 2
“I hate my job, so I’m going to quit.” This used to be an idle threat in the wake of a tough week or an especially bad day at work. Or a daydream. Some of you might remember Johnny Paycheck’s country song Take This Job and Shove It. But today, employees are...
