The executive playbook is built for a world that no longer exists. It assumes disruption is temporary and the job is a return to calm. It isn't. Chaos is your permanent operating condition.

Lina AbiRafeh has spent 30 years leading through it — evacuations under fire in Kabul, earthquake response in Nepal, crisis after crisis across 20+ countries where the wrong call cost lives, not quarters. She brings those frontlines into the room.

Through five phases — Prevent, Prepare, Respond, Recover, Rebuild — she shows C-suite leaders what calm-trained executives miss: how to move when certainty vanishes, read fractures before they break, and command trust in the storm. 

This is what it looks like to Speak Chaos.
