Kerry,
87,
has been a Communication-Skills Coach-Consultant in Hawaii for forty-four+ years. He
has consulted for such clients as Mike McCormack Realtors (formerly 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 first
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.
During his 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 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. Environmental 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
workshop participants report favorably. Most participants say it transforms their
experience of communication.
Kerry also does free three-hour Communication Consultations-Coaching for individual, couples, and small-groups. For a three-hour communication-skills coaching appointment
