Book - 2023

"How many times in your life have you felt truly confident? Do you find self-assuredness a fleeting feeling, or a consistent state of mind? These have been unusual times and difficult years, and many of us have found our expertise tested and our confidence challenged. As a senior vice president at one of the world's premiere auction houses and a commanding presence in every room, it's easy to believe Lydia Fenet's confidence comes easily. In reality, she has experienced countless instances which threatened her ego and pride, but rather than let defeat crush her, she has learned to locate inner reserves of self-determination and push back. In CLAIM YOUR CONFIDENCE, Fenet offers the idea of confidence as something everyone... has inside--you just need the know-how to claim it. Recounting both professional setbacks and personal challenges that required adaptation, Fenet offers case studies, insights, and advice to help even those who doubt themselves become the most confident version of themselves. From the"Teflon shield" trick to her SLAM method for conquering Imposter Syndrome, readers will find the tools they need to build confidence they've had within them all along. THE MOST POWERFUL WOMAN IN THE ROOM IS YOU equipped women with the skills to achieve success in their external professional lives, but that climb to the top is never easy and often includes a mix of highs and lows along the way. Without inner strength, it can be difficult to pick yourself up and persevere during the tough times that all of face. In CLAIM YOUR CONFIDENCE, Lydia Fenet will inspire you to become more self-assured, take action, make decisive choices, and grow into a leader in your own life"--

Review by Booklist Review

Fenet (The Most Powerful Woman in the Room Is You, 2019) shares the secret to confidence in this upfront, inspiring book. According to her, "Every single thing you need is already inside you." Fenet, global thought leader and executive at Christie's, gives readers the necessary tools to release this essential power. She urges women to set up a "teflon shield" to deflect negative comments, slam their impostor syndrome, get comfortable with the uncomfortable, and accept change as a constant. Fenet freely shares many of her sticky learning situations, as embarrassing as a book signing with five people and as life-threatening as a car accident, demonstrating how action, determination, and astounding grace lead to positive outcomes. Fenet is the perfect cheerleader for women who are overwhelmed, used to taking a back seat, and afraid to dream. Each chapter is filled with nuts-and-bolts suggestions and concludes with testimony by a woman who has succeeded in her field. This book is both inspiring and invigorating, and readers will certainly respond to her challenges.
