How to Claim Your Confidence with Lydia Fenet

  • Summary

  • I always say, being an auctioneer is not dissimilar to stand-up, you just kind of get beaten up by the crowd, until the point where you almost create this Teflon skin. And you really try to figure out what works. And what started to work for me was being myself, Lydia Fenet is a two-time author, podcast host of Claim your Confidence, and the founder and CEO of the Lydia Fenet Agency, a boutique agency representing best-in-class charity auctioneers. Over her two-decade-long career, Lydia served as the Global Managing Director of Strategic Partnerships for Christie’s and reshaped the fundraising landscape as the world’s leading charity auctioneer. She has single-handedly raised over one billion dollars for more than 800 organizations and broken-down countless barriers for women in the auction industry, and all over the world by educating women on how to claim their confidence. As a 24-year-old working for the world-famous Christie’s auction house, Lydia was given the chance of a lifetime to try out to be an auctioneer—a field that was completely male-dominated. After climbing the ranks and becoming the head of Christie’s auctioneering program, she had an “a-ha” moment that completely changed her career trajectory. Lydia shared her best advice for anyone suffering from a fear of public speaking, how she stays present, the power of our words, and finding fun in failure. Lydia and I discussed how her career inspired her to claim her own confidence and inspire others through her words in her latest book, Claim Your Confidence. Lydia also shared deeply about the harrowing car accident that she experienced with her family which changed her life and her outlook on it.
