About the show

Do you want to be the boss of your life?... Yes? Then you are in the right place! Being “boss” is more than being a leader or managing people. It’s an attitude, a belief, a strategy and a powerful way of thinking and behaving to take charge of your work and life, confidently navigate any challenges that come your way and more importantly…thrive! It’s about owning your power and doing what it takes to live the life you truly want and deserve. Life is short, so don’t waste time letting others decide where it will go, holding back because of fear or just not realising that there is another way. If you want to start your own business, level up in your career, move abroad, become a digital nomad, upgrade your personal and professional relationships or dream of making a big impact in the world Becoming Boss is your new best friend. In ‘Becoming Boss’ your host, Nichola O’Hara, will talk about all those topics and so much more! Every Tuesday she draws on her extensive experience as a leader in learning, development and recruitment, her years as an entrepreneur and the life lessons she is still learning, to bring you practical, actionable strategies, essential knowledge and tools, and share inspirational stories to fire you up to take charge of your life like a boss. So if you have dreams, ideas, plans you have put off until later, you owe it to yourself to start making them happen now. It’s time to take charge of your life and start becoming more boss!
