Be Noticed. For All the Right Reasons.
Ladies, do you ever find yourself in a room full of people and wonder how to make your presence truly felt? Lydia Fernet said, “The Most Powerful Woman in the Room is the woman who wants to be noticed. For all the right reasons.” (from her book “The Most Powerful Woman in the Room is You”)
Recently, I have been working with two women at very different stages of their lives. Their goals and outcomes of their Style Coaching work with me are completely different but the thread running through our conversations – they want to stand out, without looking like they tried too hard.
In this blog post, we’ll explore the wisdom in Lydia Fernet’s quote and discuss how embracing your uniqueness and confidence can make you the most influential and inspiring woman in any room.

The Power of Being Noticed
Lydia Fernet’s quote suggests that being noticed isn’t about seeking attention for the sake of it; it’s about being noticed for all the right reasons. It’s about standing out in a crowd because of your style, grace, confidence, and authenticity.
Embrace Your Unique Style
Lydia Fernet also advises us, “Never be afraid to be the person who takes the initiative to be a little more dressed up than everyone else.” Fashion is a powerful form of self-expression, and your unique style can set you apart. Don’t be afraid to experiment with clothing and accessories that make you feel like your best self. Whether it’s a vibrant scarf, a statement necklace, or a tailored blazer, embrace what resonates with you.
Dress for the Woman You Want to Be
“I wear what I wear because it makes me who I want to be in that moment,” says Lydia Fernet. Your clothing choices can influence your mindset and how others perceive you. Dressing for success isn’t just a cliché; it’s a reality. When you wear attire that aligns with your goals and aspirations, you’re more likely to embody the qualities you admire. Whether you’re aiming for professionalism, creativity, or adventure, your wardrobe can be a tool to help you get there.
Be Unapologetically Yourself
The most powerful woman in the room is unapologetically herself. Embrace your age, your experiences, and your wisdom. Don’t conform to societal expectations or trends if they don’t resonate with you. Be proud of who you are and where you’ve been. Your authenticity is your superpower.
Confidence is Key
Confidence is the cornerstone of being noticed for the right reasons. When you exude self-assuredness, you become magnetic. It’s important to remember that confidence isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room; it’s about being comfortable in your own skin and believing in your worth. Embrace your life experiences, wisdom, and uniqueness. These qualities are your greatest assets.
As women, we have a wealth of experiences and wisdom to offer the world. Lydia Fernet’s quote reminds us that we have the power to be noticed, not for seeking attention, but for our authenticity, confidence, and unique style. Embrace your individuality, wear what empowers you, and never be afraid to shine. Remember, the most powerful woman in the room is the woman who wants to be noticed—for all the right reasons. So, step into every room with grace, poise, and the confidence to be yourself, and watch as you become a source of inspiration and influence wherever you go.
