Let $\left< \cdot, \cdot \right>_1, \left< \cdot, \cdot \right>_2$ be two Hermitian inner products on $V$ with respect to which $\pi$ is unitary and let $T \colon V \rightarrow V$ be the (unique) operator satisfying
$$ \left< Tv, w \right>_2 = \left< v, w \right>_1 $$
for all $v,w \in V$. Then
$$ \left< (\pi(g) \circ T)(v), v \right>_2 = \left< T(v), \pi(g)^{*}(v) \right>_2 = \left< T(v), \pi(g^{-1})v \right>_2 = \left< v, \pi(g^{-1})(v) \right>_1 = \left< v, \pi(g)^{*}(v) \right>_1 = \left< \pi(g)v, v \right>_1 = \left< (T \circ \pi(g))(v), v \right>_2 $$
for all $v \in V$ and $g \in G$ so $\pi(g) \circ T = T \circ \pi(g)$ for all $g \in G$ and $T$ is an intertwining operator. By Schur's lemma, $T = \lambda \cdot \operatorname{id}_V$ and since $T$ is $\left< \cdot, \cdot \right>_2$-self-adjoint (and positive) we have $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ and $\left< \cdot, \cdot \right>_2$ is a positive multiple of $\left< \cdot, \cdot \right>_1$.
