About The Book

You Are a Badass meets Grit in this powerhouse guide to overcoming your fear and finding the confidence within—from Christie’s ambassador and author of the “insightful, inspiring” (New York Journal of Books) The Most Powerful Woman in the Room Is You.

How many times in your life have you felt completely, unshakably confident? Are you walking into every room with shoulders back feeling like you own the room? Or is it more like once a week? Or never at all? The uncertainty of the last several years has tested all of us no matter how confident we are in life. It’s not surprising that so many of us don’t remember how to listen to—and trust—our own instincts anymore. How do we find confidence? Or if we once had it, how do we get it back?

In this actionable guide from someone who “knows how to get the attention of a room immediately” (Martha Stewart), you will gain the skills to become the most confident version of yourself. From guidance on how to persist when all you want to do is give up, to slamming imposter syndrome, to building up the courage to leave your comfort zone, Lydia Fenet offers case studies, insights, and advice to encourage everyone to take control and become the architect of their own life.
