Thriving in Canada's Job Market, Comfort Zone Breakthrough - Shanel Barredo
In this insightful episode, we chat with Shanel, a dynamic professional who has thrived in Canada’s hospitality & events industry for over 9 years and is working her way up the marketing ladder. Having worked at the Rec Room and the CN Tower, Shanel has hosted numerous corporate events, gaining hands-on experience in the fundamentals of event planning and building strong connections with a diverse group of people. She shares how the Canadian education system, with its flexibility and emphasis on multiculturalism, has empowered her to pivot into different industries and continue learning from her peers. Shanel also opens up about consistently pushing herself out of her comfort zone, whether at work, in the classroom, or while hosting events. Her story is an inspiring reminder of the value of embracing challenges and continually growing both personally and professionally.
