Valerie Maclennan, is originally from Stornoway, on the Isle of Lewis in the Highlands of Scotland, now living in Central Scotland.
Valerie, has always used her "voice" in her career and this has been her strength in business, having the ability to communicate at all levels with comfort and ease. Previously, Valerie had her own radio show on a Christian radio station, interviewing well known personalities in relation to their faith and careers in general. Valerie then decided to move from radio to produce live theatre. She hosted chat shows, where she interviewed well known personalities from Sport, Business, Religion and Entertainment in front of a live theatre audience.
Valerie, has always been interested in the power of the mind, the spoken word, the ability that we have to think and speak, negatively or positively and the impact this has on our lives and experiences.
"I am not remotely text book, I speak solely from my own personal beliefs, and understanding on the Spiritual Laws of Life and the importance of taking personal responsibility for our lives. I have always been very spiritual, and aware of the power that we all have within. Often people look externally for answers and support and they may not be aware of the full impact on health and life in general or the knowledge, of the tools we all have within ourselves. I have overcome many challenges in my own life, and face more on a regular basis, but I do not panic, or feel overwhelmed, due to my inner strength, and belief system."
Valerie sees herself as "An Encourager". She meets and speaks to a wide range of people, who gain a vast amount from being encouraged, supported and spoken to, especially from someone who has lived through, a wide range of similar challenges, and is able to speak with empathy.
Valerie offers Speaking Engagements, Talks and is also available to host events, where she shares her story with added humour. She knows having the ability to laugh, is a great benefit to our health in general.
Valerie's talks, are tailored for her audience, covering a variety of topics.
TESTIMONIALS:
"Valerie is a Joy, to listen to, she captures the attention of those listening, and leads them down a path which, surprises, delights and ultimately instructs them."

"We have been working with Val.. for a number of years now, and have been impressed by both the professional approach taken, and the flexibility in course content development. We have recently been fed back tangible benefits, from a commission, to develop a workshop to improve motivational learning techniques with a client. We would have no hesitation in recommending Val... for future work."
Mr Scott Dickson Managing Director Vizibility Stirling Scotland.
Testimonial From Oran Mor Venue Glasgow.
"In Conversation With Shows, there is nothing else like this happening in Glasgow, and it makes for a very interesting and funny night, for the audience, Guests have included Jack Black Mindstore Guru, Tommy Sheridan, and Donald Findlay QC. Each show has been very informative about how the guest has got to where they are, and gives something to take away and think about, and possibly inspire them.
The Feedback has been great so far, with many coming back for the next show.
Off Course, this couldn't happen, without Valerie being able to get the best answers out of her Guests. At every show, it is easy to tell that Valerie has thoroughly, done her research on her Guest, but it is her rapport with her Guests that really shines through, making them feel instantly at ease and ready for what is essentially, a friendly, funny informative chat.
It also seems to me as if Valerie, knows exactly, what questions the audience want answered, but, if something is missing, there is the chance for the audience to have their own QA which only adds to the experience."
Mr Creon Brock. Oran Mor Venue. Glasgow.
