You may not think of Psychopaths and The Norfolk Chamber of Commerce in the same sentence (well, hopefully not) but our West Norfolk Networking lunch on Friday 1st November was a very interesting couple of hours… Our West Norfolk events are relaxed affairs, our members being a chatty and engaging bunch, and new visitors are made to feel welcome and engaged the moment they walk in. We have a wide cross section of businesses and it is the perfect opportunity to meet other local companies. The relaxed setting was a perfect back drop for our guest speaker Chamber Member Steve Gaskin, Director of Right Angle Events to talk to us about his 25 year background as a Detective Chief Inspector with The Metropolitan Police. Busy these days running a successful teambuilding company, Steve is a fascinating and engaging man. We learnt how the traits of Psychopaths can impact upon certain sectors, and are used in business skills and training. Steve then invited the room to take part in a Psychometric test to see where they fell on the scale – thankfully he didn’t ask for the results to be shared, but it was an interesting and fun way to end to his talk and certainly created quite a stir! Following the success of our King’s Lynn Two Hour Tuesdays, the change of timings from our West Norfolk Networking breakfasts to a lunch event has happily been well received, and it offers a mix of timings that make networking that much easier in West Norfolk. We look forward to our next lunch and meeting you there!
