Speaking & workshops

Bring Hank to your group

One hour that people are still talking about months later.

Three ways Hank shows up

1. For businesses & nonprofits

Your people already do good work. Almost no one tells them.

Pennies for Praise is Serving.LOVE's flagship workshop for businesses and organizations. It turns appreciation from a vague good intention into a daily, countable habit.

Participants leave with a physical, absurdly simple mechanism for noticing and naming good work on purpose — and with the understanding that caring is not soft. It is strategy. It changes how people show up, how long they stay, and how much they trust the person next to them.

What changes

What your team walks out with

A habit, not a poster

Appreciation becomes something people actually do each day, not a value painted on a break-room wall.

Language for it

Specific, non-awkward ways to tell a colleague what they did and why it mattered.

Trust that compounds

Teams that notice each other take more risks, escalate problems earlier, and stay longer.

“Caring is not the soft part of the business. It's the part everything else rests on.”

Corporate & project management

Thirty years in corporate training 

Long before Serving.LOVE, Hank was teaching project management, leadership, and process improvement inside Fortune 1000 companies, universities, government agencies, and school districts. Same practical, story-driven style he brings to a sanctuary or a youth group today — just with a whiteboard and a Gantt chart.
