Kerrith
H. (Kerry) King, 72, is the founder and president of
Community Communications. Kerry has been a
Communication Skills Consultant in Hawaii for
thirty-six years. He has consulted for such clients
as Mike McCormack Realtors (Hawaii's largest
realtor), Hobart Corp., Budar Advertising, the
president of Pacific Construction (builders of the
Ala Moana Shopping Center), R. M. Towill Corp.
(builders of the Honolulu Airport), U.S. Postal
Service—Oahu, the chief psychiatrist of Leahi
Hospital, Hawaii Child Care Centers (a school
system), the Director of the State Department of
Health—Big Isle, the manager of John Hancock 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 transferred,
through the R.O.T.C., to the Army and did two tours in
Vietnam. He served both as an Infantry Platoon
Leader (173rd Airborne) and as Infantry Company
Commander (82nd 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 Island of
Hawaii. 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 our
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.
