Network Ireland Louth hosted an inspiring event on Authenticity in Business at the Marcy Hotel, featuring Sharon Farrell, founder of Face Credit, as guest speaker.
Sharon, who also generously sponsored multiple awards at Network Ireland Louth’s regional ceremony earlier this year, travelled from Kildare to share her personal and professional insights on the importance of authenticity in business.
In a heartfelt and engaging session, she explored how lessons from her personal life have shaped the way she leads and grows her business — emphasising that true success stems from alignment between who we are and what we do. Sharon’s strong business values, she said, have been key to her company’s ongoing success.
The event drew a strong turnout from local businesswomen and entrepreneurs, with representation from Louth LEO and AIB among those attending. The atmosphere was electric, filled with lively discussion, a powerful Q&A, and plenty of “lightbulb moments” as guests connected and shared ideas.
As with every Network Ireland Louth event, the evening focused not just on inspiration but on action. New members and guests networked, exchanged insights, and offered tangible support to one another — showcasing the collaborative spirit that defines the Network Ireland community.
Speaking after the event, Nicola Connolly Byrne, President of Network Ireland Louth, said:
“Sharon’s story really struck a chord with everyone in the room. Her honesty, humour, and openness reminded us that authenticity is a strength, not a risk — and that when women show up as their true selves, everything shifts. The connections, conversations, and growth that came from the event truly embody what Network Ireland Louth is all about.”
