Vicky Blades is on an Unstoppable mission to show women how to speak up, stand out and be heard! By finding their authentic voice and developing the confidence to step powerfully into the spotlight and take centre stage; at work, in life, and in business. 

 

For too long women have been conditioned to stay small, quiet, invisible and to spend their energy caring for others, whilst neglecting themselves. For too long women and girls have been the secret-keepers -  historically, socially, generationally - we have been tasked with keeping silent to stay safe. But to what cost? It’s time we challenge this narrative and break out so that we can change the world!

 

Using her 20 years experience as a professional actress, coupled with co-active coaching techniques, Vicky looks at the hiding habits of brilliant women like you, and invites you to discover (and smash) your visibility blocks. You will finally access your authentic voice, learn how to step into your power, and play big. Whether on camera, on stage or in writing, it is vital that you share your story and your wisdom! 

 

Vicky is a Communications Coach focusing on Voice, Video and Visibility. She has been a professional actress for 20 years and has worked as a trainer and workshop facilitator for even longer. She particularly loves working to empower women in business and trained with Tara Mohr as a Playing Big facilitator. A Mental Health First Aider and Autism NI Ambassador, Vicky also works with children and teens on oracy and confidence skills. She has an MA in Acting for Media (TV, Film and Radio) and has been a certified Life & Executive Coach since 2018.
