Kerrith H. (Kerry) King, 87, is the founder and president of Community Communications.
Kerry has been a Communication Skills Coach 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's B.A. and M.A. degrees
are in Speech-Communication. He 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 an 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), education 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., 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
say it transforms their experience of
communication.
Kerry does three-hour communication
coaching consultations for individuals, couples, and
small-groups. He's also facilitates weekend-long
workshops, and is available as a guest lecturer for graduation commencement exercises.
