  • Reactive or Responsive? The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything!

    Reactive or Responsive? The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything!
    Feb 16 2026
    Negativity is unavoidable — but how you respond to it can either drain you or drive you forward. In this episode, we break down two powerful LinkedIn posts that stopped us mid-scroll and sparked an important conversation around mindset, leadership, and emotional intelligence. One post by Precious Ebubechukwu highlights 5 common mistakes people make when dealing with negativity — and how to fix them. The second, by George Stern, explores the difference between a reactive mindset and a responsive one, and why that tiny pause between stimulus and response changes everything. We’ve linked both original LinkedIn posts in the episode description — be sure to check them out.⁠
