On the SUPERWOMEN podcast this week, I'm joined by Kathleen Griffith, an award-winning business strategist and bestselling author, to talk about her book, “Build Like a Woman: The Blueprint for Creating a Business and Life You Love,” and her path to empowering female entrepreneurs. Kathleen started her career in corporate, working for big advertising agencies, but felt that her work was engineering insecurity in women rather than emboldening them to do more. She left and founded her own companies: BUILD, a global platform that guides women in transforming their businesses and lives, and Grayce & Co, a female-focused marketing and media consultancy. Her work has been featured in numerous publications, including TIME Magazine, Forbes, The New York Times, Business Insider, and The Wall Street Journal, and she has been recognized as a “Top 40 Disruptor” by ADWEEK, “Leading Woman in Business” by Fast Company, “Creative Innovator” by Condé Nast, “Most Powerful Woman” by Fortune, and more. In this episode, she reflects on finding opportunities in life's challenges, building confidence through setting and achieving goals, and why we, as women, need to forge the right mindset—not just the skillset—to turn our dreams into a reality.

I am a big fan of the dynamic Lydia Fenet, who has written not one but two books we are talking about on the show today: The Most Powerful Woman in the Room Is You: Command an Audience and Sell Your Way to Success, which came out in 2019, and Claim Your Confidence: Unlock Your Superpower and Create the Life You Want, which came out last year.

She grew up in Lake Charles, Louisiana, which we talk about in today's episode, and rose to become Global Managing Director of Strategic Partnerships for Christie's Auction House. Today on the show Lydia talks to us about confidence, and her belief that, in her words, “you already have everything it takes to be confident” and that “confidence and power comes from within.” She talks about her worst-case scenario moment, what confidence means to a life, why the journey is more important than the destination, why fear is our “greatest learning tool,” what her Southern upbringing taught her, and about the car accident that nearly took her life. Lydia has made a career built on empowering others, and you'll no doubt leave this conversation feeling just that—empowered. Enjoy!

Enjoy this video podcast on Spotify and Youtube! Although Lydia Fenet believes everything in life happens exactly as it should, she didn't become one of the top charity auctioneers in the world by chance alone. For over two decades, Lydia worked tirelessly to become "the most powerful woman in the room." Lydia Fenet spent over twenty years working for Christie's, a world-renowned auction house, beginning as an intern, and eventually becoming one of the world's most well-known auctioneers. A series of events, including a car accident, led Lydia to leave the security and comfort of Christie's and take a risk on herself. Having realized her true value, Lydia "claimed her confidence" and founded Lydia Fenet Agency, a boutique auctioneering agency representing talented charity auctioneers. Today, Lydia is the best-selling author of two books: The Most Powerful Woman in the Room and Claim Your Confidence, a podcast host, speaker, and Founder and CEO of the Lydia Fenet Agency.

“Impact can be measured purely in dollars, or it can be measured in impact, which is the effect that our programs have had on changing the lives of children.” -Shelley Diamond Shelley is a passionate builder of global brands and businesses, with expertise across an integrated array of communications disciplines. As one of the highest ranking female executives in advertising (named the 11th Most Powerful Woman in Advertising by Business Insider, among other accolades,) Shelley has helped champion marketing transformation for domestic and global clients in both the consumer and B-to-B spaces. In this interview, Shelley emphasizes that marketing should be viewed as an investment, integral to achieving impact through advocacy and program success, not just as an expense on the balance sheet. For innovation, UNICEF focuses on program effectiveness, leveraging technology, partnerships, and bold actions to further children's rights, education, and well-being, and to adapt to challenges like misinformation and difficult terrains for vaccine delivery. The organization integrates brand and performance marketing, identifying and targeting audiences likely to engage with and support UNICEF's mission. They aim to expand their reach and tailor their approach based on audience interests and advocacy, all while navigating the nonprofit sector's focus on expense versus program ratio. Shelley encourages visiting UNICEF's website to see their innovative marketing efforts and learn more about how they maintain relevance with real-time content sharing and amplification across channels.

Former IBM CEO Ginni Rometty reveals the secret to “good power.” In her book "Good Power," former IBM CEO Ginni Rometty challenges the negative connotations often associated with the concept of power. She argues that power can be a force for good, and that building belief is at the heart of good power. Building belief involves creating an environment in which people voluntarily want to do something, rather than being ordered to do so out of fear. Rometty suggests that co-creating the future with others, rather than dictating it, is a key element of building belief. It is important to make the process personal by showing empathy for those involved and being authentic and honest about the challenges ahead. Rometty draws on her own experiences to illustrate these principles. For example, when IBM acquired PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting, she acknowledged the risks involved and showed empathy for the changes employees would have to go through. Ultimately, Rometty believes that building belief and empowering others — rather than attempting to sway them with money — is key to being a successful leader. She urges leaders to focus on building their own power first and then using that power to influence and inspire others toward a common goal. About Ginni Rometty: Ginni Rometty was the ninth chairman, president, and CEO of IBM. Under her leadership, the 100-year-old company reinvented 50% of its portfolio, built a $25 billion hybrid cloud business, and established leadership in AI and quantum computing. Rometty also drove record results in diversity and inclusion and supported the explosive growth of an innovative high school program to prepare the workforce of the future in more than twenty-eight countries. Through her work with the Business Roundtable, Rometty helped redefine the purpose of the corporation. She has been named Fortune's #1 Most Powerful Woman three years in a row, is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, and was honored with the designation of Officier in the French Légion d'Honneur. Today Rometty serves on multiple boards and cochairs OneTen, a coalition committed to upskilling, hiring, and promoting one million Black Americans by 2030 into family-sustaining jobs and careers.

The holiday season is finally here! What that means is a near year-end closing, filling up the air with reflections of what has gone by and what we have learned. In this period of much-deserved rest, peace, and quiet, I am sharing the first of two of my favorite Brave Women at Work episodes of 2023. Today, we relive the wisdom shared by Lydia Fenet, author of The Most Powerful Woman in the Room is You and Claim Your Confidence: Unlock Your Superpower and Create the Life You Want. 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. If you have already listened to this show, it bears repeating. And if you haven't listened to this episode, you are in for a treat! 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.

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.
If you're a faithful SHE SELLS HE SELLS listener, you know that we believe that confidence is the key to life (and sales)...so when we had the opportunity to interview Lydia Fenet, author of the book “Claim Your Confidence”, we jumped at it!
