Norman Drummond has been described as “one of the most inspiring and talented Scots of this generation”. He has experienced a wide range of public leadership roles within the Church, the Services, Secondary and Tertiary Education, Public Service within the Media and latterly within Business as an Executive Coach and as a Social Entrepreneur. Following Degrees in Law at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge (where he also gained his ‘Blue’ for Rugby) and Divinity at New College, Edinburgh he was Chaplain to Depot The Parachute Regiment and then to The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment). After a School Chaplaincy at Fettes College he was appointed Headmaster of Loretto School at the early age of 32. A former BBC National Governor and Chairman of the Broadcasting Council for Scotland, Norman was also Chairman of BBC Children in Need. He was the first Chair of the Community Action Network in Scotland and was Chairman of Governors of Aiglon College, Switzerland from 1999 to 2005. From 1999 to 2003 Norman successfully pioneered and Chaired the Scottish office of The Change Partnership, the blue chip provider of one to one bespoke confidential coaching throughout almost half of the UK 100 FTSE. In 1999 Norman set up Drummond International, a leading business consultancy which specialises in Inspirational Executive Coaching, Motivational Public Speaking, Inter-Personal Skills, Mediation, Presentation Skills and Media Management across the sectors. Norman retains his status as a Minister of the Church of Scotland and since 1993 has been honoured by his appointment as a Chaplain to Her Majesty The Queen in Scotland. Norman is Founder and Chairman Columba 1400, the highly regarded Community and International Leadership Centre at Staffin on the Isle of Skye whose aim is to help young people from tough realities to fulfil their leadership potential. As a life-long educator Norman has shaped his philosophy and that of Columba 1400 along the lines of John Buchan who wrote “Our task is not to put the greatness back into humanity but to elicit it for the greatness is there already.” Since 2003 Norman has been Chairman of Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland and in 2008 he was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (FRSE). Norman continues to endeavour to “give voice to those who don’t have it” and to develop self-worth and potential in others. His best-selling book in this area “The Spirit of Success: How to connect your heart to your head in work and life” enables the message to reach an even wider international public.
