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.

silence is golden, but it doesn’t mean I’ll do it
As a business coach, I’m paid for the advice I give people and, ultimately, the results they achieve because of that advice. I’ve always loved the coaching model because of this usually unspoken agreement—I only get to stay around if the person I coach makes progress....
handoff business
I’ve been in the same office building for almost 20 years, and I’ve seen a lot of other businesses come and go. For some reason—my longevity here I suppose—I’ve become the “3rd floor resident manager.” That means if I’m in the men’s room and we are out of paper...
vacation dos and don’ts
Summer, for all practical purposes, is here, and that means it's time to share my annual "vacation do's and don'ts." Over the years, this content about how to spend (and not spend) your...
momma’s day
A while back, I saw a mother hosting her young son’s birthday party in a local park on a beautiful, sunny Sunday afternoon. She was wearing a button that read, “All birthdays are Mother’s Day!” And I thought to myself: That’s a wonderful way to look at “the world’s...
I was unhappy & didn’t know it!
I’ve had a long-time love affair with cars. Some of you might appreciate that “addiction.” I just love really nice cars: Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Audi, BMW, Porsche, etc. Name a luxury car, and I have probably wanted one (and in a few cases have owned one). My addiction...
goals revised: how to get from here to there (part 2 of 2)
Our last blog focused on the difference between setting annual goals and looking at the bigger picture of a five-year plan. I asked you to consider whether or not your current goals will get you where you want to go. This line of thinking grew out of a coaching...
