Another winter storm is moving in.
Road conditions will change fast.
Preparation matters.

Whether youโ€™re heading out or trying to get back, winter travel brings real risk. A little planning now can make the difference between an inconvenience and a long, cold wait.

Gear up before you go:

๐Ÿšจ Emergency vehicle bag
Tools to keep your vehicle safe and operational if conditions deteriorate.

๐Ÿฅ Travel trauma kit
When weather delays help, immediate first aid matters.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Car chargers for every phone
๐Ÿฅค Snacks, water, and non-perishable food
๐Ÿงฅ Warm blankets, coats, gloves, hats, and waterproof shoes
๐Ÿ”ฆ Jumper cables, flares, and working flashlights with extra batteries
๐Ÿถ Supplies for pets traveling with you

Winter travel does not have to be chaotic. Preparation turns uncertainty into confidence and keeps small delays from becoming big problems.

๐Ÿ”‘ Preparedness reminder: Plan for delays, pack for cold, and assume help may take longer than expected.

Storms donโ€™t look the same.
The impact is always real.
Preparation is what carries you through.

Now, as winter weather threatens to hit again this weekend, the lesson is the same.
Different storm. Same need to be ready.

What made the difference then still matters now:
โœ… Generator preparation
โœ… Emergency kits and supplies
โœ… Water, power, and food continuity
โœ… Medical readiness
โœ… A calm, rehearsed response

We donโ€™t just plan for disasters.
We prepare people to live through them with confidence.

๐Ÿ”‘ Preparedness reminder: Winter storms test the same systems hurricanes do โ€” power, access, communication, and response.

The ice is melting.
Temperatures are dropping again.
Refreezing creates new risks.

As melting ice refreezes overnight, conditions can change quickly. What looked manageable during the day can become dangerous after dark. Staying alert now helps prevent slips, damage, and unnecessary emergencies.

Post-storm risk mitigation reminders:

๐Ÿง‚ Reapply salt or ice melt before temperatures drop.
Melted ice will refreeze fast. Treat walkways, steps, and entry points again to reduce slip hazards.

๐Ÿšซ Limit unnecessary travel.
Ice makes roads hazardous and delays emergency response. Staying put is often the safest option.

๐Ÿšฟ Stay aware of plumbing risks.
As temperatures dip again, exposed pipes can refreeze. Keep cabinets open where needed, let faucets drip, and maintain indoor heat above 55ยฐF.

๐Ÿ”Œ Plan for continued disruptions.
Refreezing can strain power lines and infrastructure. Keep devices charged and flashlights accessible.

The storm may look like itโ€™s passing, but the risk isnโ€™t over yet. A little attention now helps prevent minor issues from becoming major problems.

๐Ÿ”‘ Preparedness reminder: Ice storms donโ€™t end when the ice melts. Stay alert through the refreeze.

Ice storms change plans fast.
Roads become unpredictable.
Staying put is often the safest move.

With an ice storm expected this weekend, preparation at home matters more than movement outside. A few simple steps can prevent injuries, damage, and unnecessary stress.

Ice storm stay-home reminders:

๐Ÿšซ Avoid driving unless absolutely necessary.
Ice turns roads into skating rinks. Emergency services may be delayed. If you can stay home, do it.

๐Ÿ’ง Stock water.
Have drinking water on hand in case pipes freeze or service is disrupted.

๐Ÿง‚ Have salt or ice melt ready.
Treat steps, walkways, and entry points before ice builds up. Prevention beats cleanup.

๐Ÿšฟ Know your main water shut-off valve.
Frozen pipes can fail quickly. Know where it is before you need it.

๐ŸงŠ Prevent frozen pipes.
Insulate exposed pipes, let faucets drip during extreme cold, and keep your home above 55ยฐFโ€”even if youโ€™re away.

๐Ÿ”Œ Plan for power interruptions.
Charge devices, have flashlights ready, and avoid candles if possible.

Whether youโ€™re hunkering down at home or riding out the storm overnight, preparation keeps small problems from becoming big ones.

๐Ÿ”‘ Preparedness reminder: Ice storms reward patience and planning. Staying put is often the smart call.

Leadership is not just about the decision.
It is about the moment you make it.
Timing changes everything.

Move too early and you create confusion or resistance.
Wait too long and momentum fades or the opportunity disappears altogether.

Strong leaders act with intention, not urgency.
They stay engaged, read the environment, and move when the timing is right.

๐Ÿ”‘ Leader imperative: Make decisions when they are needed, not too early, not too late.

๐Ÿ’ฌ What helps you trust your timing as a leader?

Meetings are easy to schedule.
Effective meetings take leadership.
And most teams feel the difference.

In this episode, Terry breaks down what makes meetings actually work โ€” and the signs that tell you when one is starting to drift. Insights shaped by years of leading teams and organizations.

Motivation fades.
Discipline stays.
Thatโ€™s the difference.

Great leaders are not driven by how they feel.
They are driven by habits, structure, and follow through.

Motivation may start the work.
Discipline keeps it going.

๐Ÿ”‘ Leader imperative: Apply discipline daily. Especially when it is not easy.

Accountability does not appear on its own.
It is created through conversation.
And leaders set it in motion.

When organizations struggle with accountability, the answer is rarely another system or process. It usually comes down to how leaders talk with their people.

It starts in one on one conversations.

Here is a simple approach leaders can use:

โœ”๏ธ Explain why you are meeting and what matters right now.

โœ”๏ธ Be clear about standards, priorities, and what success looks like.

โœ”๏ธ Share what you are seeing and what needs to change.

โœ”๏ธ Ask them to tell you what they will do next.

That final step builds real accountability. When people say it out loud, they take responsibility for it.

โœจLeader imperative: Accountability grows from clarity, standards, and ownership not pressure.

Delegation still isnโ€™t easy.
Letting go still takes trust.
And great leaders keep doing it anyway.

One of the biggest challenges organizations face in 2026 is not workload.
It is handing work off the right way.

Delegation is not just about moving a task.
It is about giving someone the clarity and confidence to own it.

A simple framework still works:

โ–บTask what needs to be done
โ–บPurpose why it matters
โ–บEnd state what success looks like

When leaders use this, teams do more than finish assignments.
They understand the mission and move faster with better alignment.

๐Ÿ”‘ Leader imperative: Delegate with clarity. Task. Purpose. End state.

โ€œWhat led you here?โ€
Four words.
Instant connection.

Starting with that simple question helps leaders see people beyond titles and roles. It opens the door to trust, perspective, and real conversation.

๐Ÿ“– Builds trust
๐Ÿ“– Encourages meaningful dialogue
๐Ÿ“– Lays the groundwork for stronger collaboration

Great teams donโ€™t start with structure.
They start with understanding.

๐Ÿ”‘ Leader imperative: Take time to learn the person, not just the position.

Telepathy isnโ€™t a communication strategy.
Yet leaders still rely on it.
And teams pay the price.

As we revisit some of Terryโ€™s most impactful messages from 2025 heading into 2026, this one still hits home.

At LSDS, weโ€™ve spent nearly 15 years helping organizations eliminate assumed communication. Leaders think something, but never actually say it, and that silence creates gaps.

The fix is simple: evidence based feedback.
Say what you see.
Tie it to expectations.
Deliver it clearly.

Softening tough feedback too much only blurs the message. Clarity isnโ€™t harsh โ€” itโ€™s leadership.

๐Ÿ”‘ Leader imperative: Replace assumptions with clarity. Your team deserves to hear it.
