Learning that she didn't know the name or work of the most famous actor in the world sent lifelong movie enthusiast Jennifer Hancock down a rabbit hole into the massive film industry of India. In the process, she found insights about love that are rarely touched in Western cinema—and solved a puzzle about her own son that changed his life.

This week on our Advocate Virtual Forum, we discuss the intersection of incarceration, substance abuse, and parenting--including new data about mothers who are incarcerated and state policy changes that would allow parents to be held accountable while remaining connected to their child.

Jennifer Hancock from HumanistLearning.com wants to teach you humanistic business management, which means you integrate ethics and critical thinking when dealing with team members, contractors, or even cranky customers. Stop rewarding bad behavior, and instead, examine how you respond (and what you reinforce), use confident body language, and finally, be calm, measured, and direct. Jennifer says that angry customers respond in one of three stats: a child state (where you respond that you want to help but need to wait until they calm down), an adult state (where they are calm and professional), or a depressed state (where they "ghost" you).

Corporate Talk with Charlie & Eva with guest Jennifer Hancock & Milo Shapiro Jennifer Hancock The best way to describe what I do is to say – I give really good advice. On what? Well, just about everything from bullies to business to parenting to how to deal with difficult people. My fans and customers are rarely specific about what I did for them, preferring to tell me that I simply transformed their lives and that they approach everything differently now. The best part is that everything I teach is practical, pragmatic and easy to understand and put into practice. The most common comment I get is “why didn't I think of that.” I am one of the few individuals in America who was raised as a Humanist. I am considered one of the top writers and speakers in the Humanist world today. I'm experienced in both the corporate and non-profit sectors which makes me an ideal guest or teacher for just about any audience.  In 2000, after 15 years of computer programming and system analysis, Milo took a huge leap from the safety of that realm into the world of my passion:  sharing the power & lessons of improvisation in the business world.  I had seen in my improv classes over the previous ten years how the lessons carried over into everyone's lives.  For me, it made me a creative programmer who could listen better to my clients and negotiate better solutions.  At heart, I always was an improviser.

Jennifer Hancock joins host Craig Price to discuss the workings of workplace bullies. If you've ever dealt with workplace bullies or have seen them in action, you know that they can be relentless, draining and frustrating people. And like a virus, their obnoxiousness can be debilitating. Which is why she wrote The Bully Vaccine: How to Innoculate Yourself Against Bullies and Other Petty People. Jennifer and Craig talk about how to treat bullies (slapping them upside the head is a no-no. Whodathunkit??), techniques you can use to stop bullying effectively, how bullies and untrained animals are not dissimilar and other things you can do to stop bullying in the workplace. There are also some great tips on how kids can stop bullies as well. Her book provides very specific and practical information on how exactly to go about ending bullying. The more you understand about the dynamic of what is happening, the better able you will be able to help yourself navigate the social situations you find yourself in. And the sooner you learn these skills, the better off you are going to be.

Jennifer is the author of The Bully Vaccine, and a frequent speaker and expert on the increasingly important issue of bullying - both in and out of the workplace.

It was a fascinating conversation with Jennifer - bullying has become such an area of focus for parents, schools, and certainly even leaders and HR professionals in the workplace. You'd never guess just how prevalent bullying behaviors have become. Jennifer shared ideas on how to define and identify bullying, insights behind the root causes of these behaviors, and some specific and relevant ideas about how the victims of bullying can deal with bullies. Chances are someone you know, maybe even your own child, or a colleague at work is facing these kinds of challenges. Or you are an HR professional that has to make sure your workplace is free from these behaviors. Either way I think you will find some great ideas and tips for how to address these situations from the show. It was an interesting and enlightening conversation, and I hope you will find it valuable as well. Thanks to Jennifer for a great conversation.

This week Derek sits down with Jen Hancock to discuss her newest book, "Jen Hancock's Handy Humanism Handbook". In this work, Jen attempts to give people a quick, easy, book which describes the philosophy of Humanism and how it relates to culture and personal happiness.

In 1765, the author of an anonymous article in a French Enlightenment periodical spoke of "The general love of humanity ... a virtue hitherto quite nameless among us, and which we will venture to call ‘humanism’, for the time has come to create a word for such a beautiful and necessary thing." Today on Skepticality, Swoopy talks with author and Humanist Jennifer Hancock about her book, "The Humanist Approach to Happiness", a practical guide to living an ethical, compassionate and happy life that outlines critical thinking and common sense human solutions to everyday human problems.
