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.

Recently, I scheduled a two-hour, lunchtime meeting with a company president and sales manager. I was meeting with the sales manager first, at 11, so I suggested having lunch brought in for the three of us. The company president, who was joining us at noon, said he...
The Edger Principle
I’ve always loved “yard work,” which is what we called lawn maintenance back when I was growing up in Macon, Georgia. I find much joy and satisfaction in the immediate gratification that comes from taking a yard that needs grooming and then, a mere few hours later,...
The Right Kind of Busy
In previous blogs, I've talked about how extremely busy people are today. We’ve discussed “the swarm” of the many different day-to-day tasks and simple to-dos in life both in and out of the office. That swarm makes achieving a balanced life challenging for any...
#1 Ingredient for Successful Relationships?
What would you say if someone asked you, “What’s the #1 ingredient for a successful relationship?” I’m talking about any type of relationship—marriage, parent-child, work, church, civic organization, Boy Scouts, baseball team, etc. In my opinion, and probably yours,...
You Win or Lose Together
Meetings. Some are good, some are bad and some are just a waste of time. It doesn’t matter if these meetings take place in a corporate boardroom, during a civic club leadership session, with a church committee, whatever, we’ve all sat through some version of the good,...
Extreme Ownership
We’ve all, at some point, read (or listened to) a business-related book that encouraged us to think differently about our jobs or motivated us to positive action. Good to Great by Jim Collins was one of those books for me. So was E-Myth by Michael Gerber; The...
