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.

She Wanted to Write a Cookbook
In the 1990s, my mother suffered three strokes in ten years. The last one changed everything. She lost the ability to walk, drive, and perform many of the everyday functions she once took for granted. She lost her independence. She was confined to a wheelchair and had...
Before the Truth Sets You Free … It Will Make You Miserable
There’s a quote often attributed to James A. Garfield: “The truth will set you free—but first, it will make you miserable.” It’s witty, but also deeply true—especially for leaders and anyone committed to growth. An Executive’s Truth A while back, I worked...
What Negativity Bias Steals from Leaders
Long before boardrooms and balance sheets, our ancestors roamed wild landscapes where survival hinged on one crucial instinct: spotting danger. If a caveman mistook a lion’s growl for the wind, it could cost him his life. So, our brains evolved to prioritize threats...
The Subcompact of Love
While walking the Camino this June, I found I had a lot of time to think. And all sorts of things came to mind during our 150-mile trek. One was a memory of my time living in Columbus, GA, many years ago. I was working out with a Methodist minister who, in...
Travel Truths: From 20 Days in Europe with Someone I Love (and Like!)
Traveling through Europe for 20 days sounds like a dream—and it is! I was recently in Spain and Portugal with my 22-year-old son, Matthew, where we spent 10 days hiking (100+ miles) The Camino de Santiago in the Galicia region of Spain. It was definitely a “trip of a...
Strength Training
A few months ago, after hearing a Vistage speaker emphasize the importance of maintaining strength as we age, I decided to do something I had been avoiding: I began strength training three days a week at our local Y. At first, I didn’t like it. I felt...
