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.

Better or Bigger: Navigating Conflict in Leadership
A while back, I was in a meeting at our office with the president and the CEO of an Alabama-based company. During our discussion, the two leaders found themselves locked in a heated debate over a critical decision. Their viewpoints could not have been further apart,...
Perpetual Amateur to Lifelong Learner
In college, I caught the photography bug and bought a Nikkormat 35mm camera. Back then, it was Nikon’s entry-level option but still a step above the typical Polaroid or instant cameras. Learning photography in those days was not cheap. There was no digital display to...
10 Things My Parents Taught Me
Sometimes we just need to go back and embrace those early, important life lessons we learned as kids. Say please and thank you. Stand when a lady comes to your table (or when the lady at your table leaves). Taste your food before you put salt and pepper on...
The Four Stages of Anyone’s Career
I recently read The Garner Files: a Memoir by James Garner and Jon Winokur. Garner was perhaps best known as Jim Rockford in the long-running TV show The Rockford Files, but he also worked the big screen in movies like The Great Escape with Steve McQueen. Garner’s...
