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.

A Thanksgiving Meal I’ll Never Forget

The Unexpected Interview
One of my clients recently shared the interesting way his previous firm would determine whom they hired and whom they did not. As with most companies, a candidate would come into the office and be greeted by the receptionist. The candidate would explain that they were...
A Self-Starting Oil Man
While at a faith conference, I heard Erwin McManus say this: “Most people need permission to start, but almost no one needs permission to quit.” I agree absolutely with this statement, but I’d like to break it down today and talk about the first part—needing...
Another Version of the Circle of Life
When I first started consulting, I had mostly small clients. I came to my business with more than 10 good years of sales experience, but I was inexperienced as a consultant and tended to work with small companies that were generally uncomplicated and low-risk. One of...
Interview Anxiety
