Norman Drummond has often been described as “one of the most inspiring and talented Scots of his generation” on account of his unparalleled breadth of interest, knowledge and experience.  From the gangland areas of Glasgow and Edinburgh as a young Minister, to The Parachute Regiment and The Black Watch and to Fettes College as Chaplain and thence, at the early age of 32, becoming Headmaster of Loretto, Norman’s life has represented a personal commitment to Leadership and to developing talent in others.

Following his distinguished Headship at Loretto, Norman was appointed BBC National Governor for Scotland as well as Parish Minister of Kilmuir & Stenscholl on the Isle of Skye.  During this time in 1997 he founded Columba 1400, the highly regarded Community and International Leadership Centre on the Isle of Skye (www.columba1400.com), the first prototype of its kind in the world which now operates in Australia and South Africa.   In 2009 Columba 1400 was named as Bank of Scotland/Sunday Times UK Social Entrepreneur of the Year and in June 2010, HRH The Princess Royal opened the latest Columba 1400 Centre on the shores of Loch Lomond.

A former chair of Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland, Norman is also non-Executive Director of his fourth generation family shipping company J & J Denholm Ltd and in 1999 founded his own Leadership Consultancy, Drummond International.  A Minister of the Church of Scotland, he is also a Chaplain to Her Majesty The Queen in Scotland.  A Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and a Visiting Professor of Leadership in Education at the University of Edinburgh, Norman was recently honoured to receive an Honorary Doctorate from Glasgow Caledonian University.

“The Power of 3”, the much anticipated follow-up to his best-selling book “The Spirit of Success”, was published in July 2010.  As an author and celebrated international public speaker and within his life and work, Norman sees his role as ‘eliciting the inner greatness of others’ as well as ‘giving voice to those who feel they have never been heard or listened to’. 		  picture of Norman attending RSE event

Drew Drummond is highly regarded for his coaching and interpersonal skills work. His experience spans from the shipping industry with Denholm Shipping Group, to the not for profit sector with Columba 1400 and the public sector working in residential child care at Moore House Care and Education. These experiences combined with a wide range of networks have helped him and those with whom he works to realise the importance of values led leadership.

An accredited Mediator, Drew uses the structure and framework of Mediation to create a comfortable and confidential setting and environment. This enables Drew to listen and to challenge individuals and teams to consider their relationships and ongoing Leadership style and contributions from a values base towards creating both brand and culture. Drew’s passion for Leadership and considered perspectives provides a creative approach of eliciting potential within, as opposed analysing and refining pre-existing models.

In addition to the core Drummond International services, Drew specialises in designing and delivering:

  • Purpose and Brand Alignment coaching – based firmly in building relationships, this process involves addressing and challenging the mindset of an individual’s sense of purpose, their specific story to tell with career past and future in contemporary dialogue.
  • Professional facilitation in organisational development, cultural transformation and conflict resolution.
  • Programmes and Experiences of Leadership – Skill sets shared and experiences created where people engage in their social conscience.  The range of programmes include: Board Development, High Potential Workshops, Family Business Transition and Spirit of Success Retreats.  
  • Partnership Platforms – involving research, designed and delivery around community projects requiring the skills and knowledge held by clients looking for learning and development opportunities for their individual and staff teams. As these can be best realised through partnerships, Drew works closely with Three Hands (www.threehands.co.uk) and Columba 1400 (www.columba1400.com) towards making these opportunities and benefits become reality.
