Lydia Fenet, a Christie’s auction house ambassador and the author of The Most Powerful Woman in the Room is You, is a global thought leader who “knows how to get the attention of a room immediately,” according to Martha Stewart. Having experienced her smart and engaging talks firsthand during appearances here at CLS, we are thrilled to welcome Lydia back to the Main Reading Room on March 23 to introduce her newest book, Claim Your Confidence: Unlock Your Superpower and Create the Life You Want, during its initial publication week.
Claim Your Confidence is a powerhouse guide to overcoming fear and gaining the skills necessary to become the most confident version of ourselves. Building on her own real-life experiences—including falling down a flight of snowy subway steps before an important meeting, and breaking a heel in the middle of the street on the way to an auction—Lydia’s book shows how to persist when all we want to do is give up, how to gain enough courage to leave our comfort zones, and how to harness the overwhelming power of positivity. Case studies from Trish McEvoy, Rachelle Hruska, and Zibby Owens, among others, also offer insights and advice.
