The name Kerry-O.K. is a concession to my silly side. Generally I am more sober and dignified.

Professionally, I am a developer - a developer of people. I do that by teaching, coaching and writing. My teaching areas are: hospitality management, strategic human resource development, managerial communication and professional development. In the latter, I run training seminars in intercultural management and career development. I teach my own approach to communication that includes an understanding of brain hormone production, which I belive is essential to interpersonal communication. I call it "Feng Shui for the Mind".

As an American expatriate living in Europe since 1972, I speak both English and French fluently. My metaphore is the phoenix: I'm old enough to have re-invented myself in three different careers (business management and consulting, teaching and coaching). I have worked on five continents and lived on four. A frustrated writer with a press card, my hope is that I can make a meaningful contribution to Wikipedia/Wikiversity as well as benefit from its resources.
