What does it look like to use your voice and break barriers in leadership?

In this episode of Visibility Strategies for Women Entrepreneurs, Tori Barker sits down with Toni Will, General Manager of the Kalamazoo Wings, leadership coach, TEDx speaker, podcast host, and author, for a conversation about leadership, visibility, courage, and creating change in male-dominated spaces.

Toni shares her path into professional sports leadership, what she learned from being one of the only women in the room, and why speaking up matters when you want to lead with purpose and open doors for others. She also unpacks her six leadership pillars, how she balances multiple roles across business and life, and why coaching can be such a powerful investment for women who feel stuck or ready for change.

This episode is a powerful reminder that visibility is not just about being seen. It is about using your voice, trusting your perspective, and leading in a way that feels aligned with who you are.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  1. Toni’s journey into professional hockey leadership
  2. Her perspective on women using their voice in male-dominated industries
  3. The six leadership pillars she lives and leads by
  4. How she balances leadership, coaching, podcasting, and speaking
  5. Why coaching and accountability can help accelerate growth
