How To Become The Most Powerful And Confident Woman In The Room With Lydia Fenet

Brave Women at Work - A podcast by Jen Pestikas - Thursdays

Categories:

I’m super excited about our guest today, Lydia Fenet. As I mentioned during the show, it was fate that I had Lydia on. So many people kept recommending that I read Lydia’s finished book, The Most Powerful Woman in the Room Is You, so I took it as a sign and grabbed a copy. I loved the book and thought Lydia would be a good guest for the show. And do you know what happened? Poof! I received an email from Lydia’s podcast placement agency asking if she could be on the show. I was like, yes please! And after the recording of this show, I recently finished her second book, Claim Your Confidence: Unlock Your Superpower and Create the Life You Want. The lessons in that book hit me even harder and I must admit, I shed a few tears while reading the end. I highly recommend both books. And you can read them independently, so you can start with Claim Your Confidence if it appeals to you more or vice versa. Either way, Lydia was a joy to talk with and she really motivated and inspired me, and I’m sure she will do the same for you. During our conversation, Lydia and I talked about:1.      Her backstory as a powerful auctioneer at Christie’s and how she navigated Imposter Syndrome regularly to find success in her career.2.      What led her to write her books, especially when she was working full-time and is a mom of three kiddos.3.      Why self-promotion is absolutely critical for all working women.4.      What the gavel strike is and how we can find our own to command attention in any room.5.      How learning to love failure is a necessary part of success and growth.6.      And finally, Lydia’s thoughts on the mythical work-life balance.
