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.
