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 Blame Game
An executive VP of sales, during a recent coaching session, told me he thinks he has a morale problem in his office. Several of the salespeople, he said, have been complaining. He wasn’t sure if it was mere grumbling or if there really were some things seriously wrong...
Is There a Good Way to Deliver Bad News?
The only thing worse than receiving bad news is to be the one delivering it. This has been the case since time immemorial. The ancient Greek playwright Sophocles put it this way: “Nobody likes the bringer of bad news.” At one time or another, we all have had to...
Summer Reading: Corsini’s Top 10 “Must-Read (or Listen)” List
The average corporate executive reads 50 to 60 books a year. That’s impressive! As Dr. Seuss said in his book I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!: “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” Speaking of going...
The Not-So-Terrible Price to Pay
Let’s talk a little today about pricing services. Warren Buffett says, “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.” I agree that that’s true, but, of course, it’s much more complicated. The key for businesses is to price goods and services in a way that offers...
Choose Your Friends Wisely
Coaching is about collaboration, and feedback is vital to the process. At CCG, we also love getting feedback about our blogs. We’ve been producing content for more than 25 years and passing it along to help you do what you do better. Often the feedback we get in...
If You Could Live Your Life Over Again …
Hindsight is, of course, 20/20. And it’s impossible to live your life over again. But what if you had access today to the vast wisdom of a life well lived? What if you could live your life according to what others—with far more experience—know will work best? Maybe...
