Life Insurance of Hawaii—Oahu, many educators, attorneys, doctors, dentists and
thousands more.
Kerry has taught part-time for the University of Hawaii's
Speech/Communication Department on the Manoa and Hilo campuses as well as for
the distinguished JAIMS (Japanese-American Institute of Management Science).
Prior to becoming a consultant Kerry was a career military officer. He served as
an enlisted man in the Navy on submarines and then with UDT-21 (Underwater
Demolition Team - Class #20) now called
SEALs. He left the Navy to
go to college and through the R.O.T.C. joined the Army. He did two tours in
Vietnam; he served both as an Infantry Platoon Leader (173'rd Airborne) and as
Infantry Company Commander (82'nd Airborne). A gunshot wound ended his military
career. He has two bronze stars (one for valor) and two purple hearts.
After consulting and teaching on Oahu for thirteen years, Kerry retired to
the Big Isle. In 1988 he donated an Organization Communication Workshop to the
"East Hawaii Coalition to Stop Food Irradiation." That one workshop evolved into
what's now called Community Communications (ComCom), a nonprofit, 501(c)(3),
educational organization. The political activists of the Big Isle were
responsible for enrolling more than 1000 participants into the
Communication-Skills Workshop for Community Leaders, a.k.a., The Introduction to
Leadership Communication-Skills Workshop.
Kerry's military training experiences represent proven educational processes
having to do with teamwork and excellence. He has integrated these various
leadership/communication models with what is currently being taught in the
fields of human potential and speech/communication. Ninety-five percent of the
critiques
written by ComCom's
workshop
participants report favorably. Most participants say it transforms their
experience of communication.
Kerry also does individual, couples, and small-group three-hour Communication
Consultations/Coaching. For a three-hour communication skills consult
