He’s been profiled by Charles Osgood as the “Cover Story” on CBS News Sunday Morning, written-up by business-guru Tom Peters, profiled in Fast Company Magazine, interviewed on New York City’s The Bloomberg Money Show: Bloomberg Radio and cited in The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, National Catholic Reporter and numerous other business and religious publications regarding his timely message.

Kenny’s numerous writings have been published in Warren Bennis’ Leadership Excellence magazine, OD Practitioner and The Journal for Quality and Participation as well as business web sites such as HR.com. He is also an “Executive in Residence” to the Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp).
Kenny has not only gained recognition as a business leader, but also as a church leader. Prior to coming to corporate life, Moore spent 15 years in a monastic community as a Catholic priest in one of the world’s largest religious orders. His accomplishments in leading people, building community and offering hope are a continual hallmark of his work with large hierarchical organizations, sacred and secular alike.
Several years ago, Moore had the good fortune of being diagnosed with “incurable” cancer at its most advanced stages. He spent a year at the National Cancer Institute undergoing experimental treatment of aggressive chemotherapy and full-body radiation. Recently, he’s survived a heart attack and quadruple by-pass surgery. Kenny came away from both of these near-death experiences recalling the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes: “Most of us go to our graves with our music still inside us.” His lifetime goal is to spend more of his time playing his music.
Moore is a business consultant, executive coach and sought after business and motivational speaker at business conferences, government agencies, church gatherings and college campuses - sharing his practical wisdom and wit with thousands of executives throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. Being a business leader, former monk, cancer survivor and a spiritual guide - he discusses the amusing interplay between our business, personal and spiritual lives.
Kenny is an artist, poet and photographer. He is Founding Director of “Art for the Anawim,” a not-for-profit charity which works with the art community in supporting the needs of terminally ill children and the inner city poor. His poems have been published in several anthologies; one was selected as a semi-finalist in the North American Open Poetry Contest. Kenny lives in Northern New Jersey and is married to the “fair and beautiful” Cynthia. Together, they are fighting a losing battle of maintaining their mental stability while raising 2 teenage boys.
Kenny has also expanded his work to include Stand-up Comedy. This is driven largely by the sneaking suspicion that when the Divine returns, She will find a more receptive audience in bars and comedy clubs than in our Houses of Worship.
Moore has addressed business conferences such as the New York Times Small Business Summit, The American Society for Quality (ASQ), the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD), the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM), the Human Resource Planning Society (HRPG), the Organizational Development Network (ODN), the American Management Association, the American Institute of Certified Public Accounts and the Conference Board in both the United States and Canada.
