The Really Useful Network - Exeter
About this Event
Welcome to The Really Useful Network
Business is better when you don't do it alone.
The Really Useful Network is more than a networking event. It's a community where people come together to share ideas, build relationships, discover opportunities, and support one another.
Whether you're growing a business, leading a team, freelancing, working for an organisation, or simply looking to meet great people, you'll be welcomed into a room where conversations come naturally and everyone is encouraged to get involved.
This event includes:
• A warm welcome from your 2 local Front RUNners: Martyn Kellend and Clare Palmer
• Time to meet and connect with other attendees
• An inspiring guest speaker sharing practical ideas you can take away and use
• A quiz and the RUNaround activity
• Plenty of opportunities for conversation throughout the morning
Our events aren't about collecting business cards.
They're about leaving with something useful.
Maybe that's a new client.
Maybe it's a trusted recommendation.
Maybe it's an idea that changes your business.
Or maybe it's simply finding your people.
Your Guest Speaker
Sharon Preston
Sharon Preston is an Executive Mentor and Strategic Advisor with 25 years of experience shaping leaders, entrepreneurs, and solopreneurs navigating high stakes growth. She has worked with brands including Harrods, Selfridges, LVMH, and Bulgari, is currently an IoD South West Ambassador, contributed to a Health Education England white paper, and hosts The Alignment Table™ podcast. Sharon works with leaders who look successful from the outside yet sense something is quietly holding them back, empowering them to rebuild or pivot before it costs them everything.
Presentation: Blind Spots
Every leader has one. A blind spot is not a weakness, it is simply the thing you cannot see because you are too close to it, too senior to be told, or too busy to stop and look. Left unchecked, it shapes decisions, stalls growth, and quietly costs leaders the business, the team, or the opportunity they worked hardest for. In this session, Sharon Preston reveals the blind spots most commonly hiding in plain sight for leaders and founders, and gives you a practical way to spot your own before it is too late.
