Hear from people who have hosted Kerry.
Choosing a speaker means finding someone who connects with your audience and supports the purpose of your event. These testimonials, previously shared on Kerry’s website, offer perspectives from school and museum programs.
A message that connects with students
“Kerry gives ‘hope for the future’ a whole new meaning. His message is genuine and inspirational and his sense of humor made him real to our students. He was so affable that he reached students and staff on a very personal level.”
The power of one
“Thank you Kerry for visiting the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum for the second year in a row during Disability Awareness Month as our Power of One speaker. You demonstrate the true meaning behind the power of one and are an inspiration for students who attend these programs.”
These comments describe the speakers’ experiences at past programs. Audience goals and presentation formats are discussed individually for each new event.

For a school program, share the age range and whether the audience includes staff or families. For a workplace event, describe the roles attending and the questions you want the program to address. For a conference, share the theme and how the presentation fits into the wider agenda.
