Radiate Realness

Married with a wonderful family, including two teenage girls and a lively two-year-and-six-month-old boy, I've called Ireland home for nearly 18 years. Armed with a master's degree in clinical psychology and another in computer science, my wife and I navigated a unique career path in Ireland. Initially, we worked odd jobs—construction for me and a shop counter for her. Education became our bridge to career change, with me completing computer science and her transitioning to become a head of accounts. In 2014, my entrepreneurial journey truly began with the launch of the Eckomarket platform, evolving into the current UTender.ie.

In 2015, an idea emerged during a chat, leading to the birth of the Bid Wars project. Despite setbacks, including personal hardships and a temporary pause, the vision persisted. In 2018, facing new challenges, my wife and I invested in education and ventured into a cleaning contract. This marked the beginning of ALOHA Mental Arithmetic, a program teaching kids valuable skills.

The journey continued in 2019 with Service Wars evolving into UTender. By 2020, UTender V1 was launched, and in 2021, the platform went live in Ireland, the UK, and Romania. Amid ups and downs, 2022 brought a near-death experience with a server crash, leading to a bold decision to rebuild UTender from scratch. In 2023, UTender emerged stronger, ready to explore new horizons.

Currently, as the founder and CEO of UTender.ie and Whatswhat.ie, my mission is to shape UTender into a global lead generation platform while supporting businesses through Whatswhat.ie in navigating the modern business landscape. The journey is ongoing, and the goal is to unlock new possibilities for businesses worldwide.

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!
