In Part Two of my conversation with George Brooks, former global leader at Ernst & Young and founder of Simpatico Advisory, we shift from the big picture to the practical. George unpacks the specific mindset shifts that can make or break your business,especially when you’re under pressure to evolve. He shares why most people are wired to resist change and how to quickly reframe that resistance into opportunity. From embracing adaptive thinking to using cognitive reframing in high-stakes decisions, George offers real-world examples of how leaders sabotage their growth by staying attached to what’s comfortable. You’ll learn how to move from control to collaboration, turn challenges into innovation, and apply “chameleon thinking” to keep your business moving forward. We also explore why trust is the cornerstone of transformation, how psychological safety fuels creativity, and how to repurpose your team’s talents to build a culture of momentum. Whether you’re facing stagnation, market shifts, or internal friction, this episode will give you tactical strategies to rethink how you lead. Tune in and discover why the most successful entrepreneurs never stop questioning their own thinking and how you can do the same. Enjoy!
