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
(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) now called
SEALs (Class #20). He
left to go to college and transferred, through the R.O.T.C., to
the Army. He
served two tours in Vietnam. The first tour as an Airborne (paratrooper) Infantry Platoon Leader,
and the second tour as a Airborne Infantry Company Commander. A
gunshot wound ended his military career. He was awarded two
bronze stars (one for valor) and two purple hearts.
After consulting and
teaching on Oahu for thirteen years, he 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.
Each of Kerry's military training experiences represent proven educational processes
having to do with teamwork and excellence. Kerry has
integrated these various communication models with what is
currently being taught in the fields of human potential and
speech/communication. Community Communications' workshops are
powerful educational experiences. Ninety-five percent of the
critiques written by workshop participants attest to their value. Most participants say it transforms their experience of
communication.
Kerry also
facilitates individual, couples, and small-group three-hour communication
consultations.
