“It’s not about adapting to chaos—it’s about reinventing ourselves and our organizations from the ground up.” - Caroline Stokes
What if the leadership frameworks you rely on today are the very reason your organization won’t survive the next decade?
In this episode, I speak with Caroline Stokes, author of Aftershock to 2030: A CEO’s Guide to Reinvention in the Age of AI, Climate and Societal Collapse. Together we explore why outdated leadership models no longer work, how to embrace radical reinvention, and how AI, trauma-aware systems, and resilience can prepare leaders and organisations for the seismic challenges ahead.
