Poor communication isn’t just frustrating—it’s expensive. It slows down execution, creates unnecessary conflict, and undermines trust across teams, departments, and leadership levels.
In this episode of the Revolving Change Podcast, Jorge Loebl and Joanna Edera go beyond buzzwords and break down why communication issues persist even in high-performing environments—and what to actually do about it.
They explore the full spectrum of communication—verbal and nonverbal, one-way and two-way—and offer a practical lens on how clarity, context, and culture determine whether your message drives performance or derails it.
Key Insight: Miscommunication isn’t always caused by a lack of understanding—sometimes, it’s caused by each person understanding something different. If your message isn’t confirmed, clarified, or tailored, you’re just gambling with outcomes.
This episode explores:
- The real difference between hearing and understanding—and why most professionals confuse them
- How nonverbal signals and unspoken assumptions quietly cause performance breakdowns
- Why checking for understanding is one of the most underused leadership tools available
- How communication connects directly to culture, feedback, trust, and execution

Final Thought: Communication Is the Root—of the Problem and the Solution
Everything starts and ends with communication.
Your culture, results, morale, execution—none of it works if communication doesn’t.
And most people think the solution is to “communicate more.” But volume isn’t the problem. Alignment is.
It’s not about saying more. It’s about saying it clearly, checking for understanding, setting the right expectations, and creating an environment where people can safely ask, “What do you mean?”
