"Jerry has a way of communicating that is relatable and memorable."
“Recently, Jerry McCormick trained Hound Ears Country Club employees in Distracted Driver Prevention Training. It was helpful for our team to learn that factors such as Eating and Driving have been studied to be as or more dangerous as Texting and Driving. This is a lesson that can help them not only with driving for work but also in their personal lives. Jerry has a way of communicating that is relatable and memorable. These sessions can be reflection points for employees when they face challenging situations and will help them make better choices for their safety.”
