Enjoy relaxed networking over Lunch and hear from our guest speaker Steve Gaskin, Managing Director of Right Angle Corporate Ltd.The company specialises in management training, critical incidents and team building, as well as conferences, meetings and events.
Steve was a senior police officer within the Metropolitan Police for more than 25 years. As a detective, he undertook serious criminal investigations (murder and terrorist activities), specialising in drugs, money laundering and serious major incidents. Following his retirement from the police, he worked within Education, the Prison Service and Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary. In 2007 he took this broad range of skills, with his partner Kate Gaskin, to establish Right Angle.
Steve’s talk is entitled, ‘Psychopaths and business! How they can help’.
Everyone thinks of Psychopaths as Hannibal Lector but actually the traits can be exceptionally valuable in business and/or sport. This interesting and entertaining talk show how these characteristics can work well in business including a short (voluntary) questionnaire as to where they fit on the scale.
We look forward to welcoming you along for a very interesting lunch indeed!

So, how do we turn word of mouth into word of mouse?
ENAGEMENT
