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 lesson on a keychain
Most of us carry around a keychain with a bunch of keys on it. The other day, as I have done a thousand times before, I pulled out my keychain to open a door. This time though, I stopped for some reason and actually looked at the keys in my hand. And I could only...
summer reading: corsini’s current top 10 “must-read (and listen)” list
One of my favorite “perks” from coaching is the casual, yet thoughtful, sharing of information. I get so many great recommendations of “must-read” books from my clients; it’s like having 75 professional readers on my staff! But really, it’s not just books anymore....

Everyone seems to have a favorite book, author, blog or podcast, and we’d like to know what these are so we can tell others. We need your input! If you think something is worth your time, chances are it’s well worth sharing with other people. Like this, for instance:...
vacation do’s and don’ts
It’s time for my annual “Vacation Do’s and Don’ts.” Many of you will be going on vacation soon, and I’d like to make sure your vacation counts! Taking time for yourself—and your family—is key to helping you Do What You Do Better. I’ve noticed that many people don’t...
dear students
I have decades of experience as a professional interviewer, but, I’ll be authentic, it’s hard to determine whether a new graduate can successfully perform a certain job. That’s because, generally, they haven’t actually “done” the job they’ve been studying for in...
