We had a lovely morning at Beamish Hall Hotel for our September networking meeting, and being our first get-together back after the summer break, it was wonderful to reconnect and see everyone again.
After grabbing a coffee and a bacon buttie, we sat down for a brilliant talk by Gillian Keogh from Gillian Keogh Coaching. Entitled "Brains, Behaviour, and Business," Gillian dived into the science behind our brain chemistry—touching on dopamine and endorphins—and cleverly linked it back to how we handle things day-to-day in our businesses. It was very relatable and was a real big topic of conversation afterwards.
Following the talk, we went straight into speed networking. The energy this morning was fantastic, with a great crowd and plenty of new faces in the room alongside our regulars. It is always so encouraging to see so many people actively connecting and doing business together.
Looking ahead, our next networking meeting is on 20th October at the Beamish Museum. This is a special joint networking meeting with Beamish Business Friends, featuring our guest speaker and fellow DBN member Tom from H&H Insurance, and it promises to be a brilliant opportunity to expand your local network.
A huge thank you to the team at Beamish Hall Hotel for their wonderful hospitality, and especially to Tom, who looked after us so attentively this morning - our coffee cups were never empty!
