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 SpotsEvery 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.www.sharonpreston.comThinking of becoming a member?A non-member ticket costs £25 + VAT.For exactly the same price, you can become a monthly member (cancel anytime) and enjoy:• Access to our events for 30 days• Our Member's Portal• Exclusive member offers• Useful resources• A growing community that's here to helpWhy just attend when you can belong?If you'd like to join our community, don't buy a ticket - become a member: Become A Member - The RunWe can't wait to see you!🧡💙Any questions about the event, or The Really Useful Network, before booking?
