Persuasion in a Contentious Society
By Juliet Huck
Observing the current environment in our world, I could not
sit back and be silent on how we are treating each other – especially when we
need something from someone else. I felt instead of fighting with others it is
time to remind us of the beautiful things that can connect us.
It was important to write this book, 50 Ways to Get Your
Way, based what seems to be missing in society today – common sense
values. These values were drilled into
us as farm kids in rural Ohio and
have been a valuable tool throughout my career leading clients how to persuade
others through personal connections.
I never thought I would be a writer. I have always been a
visual designer and a strategist. I fell into it by putting together my first
book The Equation of Persuasion - How to secure decisions in your favor - based
on 25 years as a Creative Consultant for high dollar, high profile
litigation. From Enron to Exxon I have
experienced some of the most contentious moments in some of most famous
litigation cases of our time. I have
inside experienced most consultants will never get.
This book gives everyone simple tools like; it’s not what
you know; it’s who you know—and what
you know about them. My main message I
teach my clients is that the golden rule is to; get out of your own shoes and
into the shoes of your audience. This can be challenging, but it is the most
important step one can take.
I have learned to trust the voice that comes out of my gut
and not my head. I have had some many
people advise me on things I completely disagree with. Learning to trust myself and taking the leap
of faith has been a great gift.

50 Ways to Get Your Way by Juliet Huck
Promotes the Art of Persuading Others
Using the Simple Power of Commonsense Values
In 50 WAYS TO GET YOUR WAY, Juliet Huck
shares the lessons she learned while growing up on her family’s farm in rural
Ohio—values such as being grateful, nurturing relationships, and listening
intently, which she used to build a successful career as a persuasion
strategist working with corporate clients and on high-profile legal cases. Huck
teaches readers how to be persuasive in a manner that is honorable and respectful,
while making genuine human connections.
The tools Huck shares in 50 WAYS TO GET YOUR
WAY are familiar, but the author notes that many of these values are
missing in the current social climate. Using beautiful images (many
photographed by the author) and conversational prose, Huck encourages readers
to commit to a practice of awareness—of self and others—and guides them through
the dance of building relationships that will help them achieve their goals.
While all of the pearls of wisdom presented in 50 WAYS TO GET YOUR WAY
are essential ingredients for developing into a solid human being, several
offer the building blocks for becoming an exceptional person who gets what he
or she wants. Being empathetic by learning what other people find meaningful, paying
attention to the effect that one’s tone can have on others, telling a
compelling story, letting go of expectations to minimize disappointment, and
understanding the importance of clarity when asking for assistance or sharing
plans are just a few of the gems that Huck examines in her book.
Huck acknowledges that the principles outlined in 50
WAYS TO GET YOUR WAY are not “rocket science”; however, she believes they
are timely. “Observing the current environment, I could not sit back and be
silent about how we are treating each other—especially when we need something
from someone else. I felt instead of fighting with others, it is time to remind
us of the beautiful things that can connect us,” Huck said.
50 WAYS TO GET YOUR WAY was written with the intention of helping
people fulfill their personal and professional needs by mastering the art of
making genuine connections.
