Aftershock to 2030: A CEO's Guide to Reinvention in the Age of AI, Climate, and Societal Collapse

How does a CEO transform their business when the last playbook died before the pandemic? Welcome to the AfterShock era.

In a world of polycrisis—where climate collapse, AI acceleration, societal fragmentation, and economic instability collide—business leaders can no longer maintain the status quo. From now until 2030, CEOs will be expected to lead the reinvention in this volatile new reality.

Caroline Stokes, author of Elephants Before Unicorns and founder of Workplace EQ, delivers a bold new guide for CEOs, founders, and aspiring changemakers who refuse to wait for the future to overtake them. Blending neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and systems thinking with urgent global trends, AfterShock to 2030 explores:

• How to kickstart your company’s transformation in 100 days • How to develop adaptive intelligence to avoid obsolescence and thrive • Why trauma-informed leadership is essential for sustainable innovation • How to integrate emotionally intelligent AI into rapid decision-making across your organization • What “Catalyst-Citizen” leadership means in a post-growth economy • How to rethink resilience, reinvention, and responsibility in real time

If you’ve ever sensed something is broken in your organization—and in our world—this book offers the language, mindset, and strategic scaffolding to imagine and build what comes next. Fast.
