Corporate America was built for men by men.

Joyce Toti believes women can still win inside that system, but only if they understand the rules, learn how to advocate for themselves, and stop waiting for someone else to hand them an opportunity.

In this episode of The Visibility Podcast, Lauren Cobello sits down with Joyce Toti, founder and CEO of Collective Women’s Leadership, to discuss women in business, workplace visibility, personal branding, mentorship, confidence, leadership, and what it really takes to become known in a male-dominated world.

Joyce spent 25 years working inside luxury retail, fashion, hospitality, and gaming. Her career included major brands such as Tiffany & Co., Tory Burch, Victoria’s Secret, Nordstrom, and LVMH. Then COVID changed everything.
