Jannett Ioanniades on Building a Career, Embracing Change, and Creating New Opportunities

What does it look like to build a career that keeps growing with you? In this episode of Business Her Way, Judi Paré sits down with Jannett Ioanniades to talk about career growth, lifelong learning, hospitality, education, and the side hustles that can open the door to a whole new chapter.

Jannett shares how she built her career over 40 years, beginning in hospitality and hotel management, then moving into leadership roles in major hotels, and later bringing that real-world experience into the college classroom. Today, she works with employers and students at George Brown College, helping create co-op and career opportunities that can lead to long-term success.

This conversation also explores what it means to adapt when life changes. Jannett opens up about the challenges of COVID, job loss, caregiving, grief, and how one life-changing phone call helped her find her way forward again. She also shares how she and her son built a short-term rental business at Rock Lake, and how her love of baking, chocolate making, and travel continue to shape what comes next.

This is an inspiring conversation about resilience, passion, and staying open to new possibilities at every stage of life.
