Maria Garaitonandia on How High-Performing Teams Talk When No One’s Watching | Covert Code | EP 110

What if your team’s biggest communication issues aren’t visible? In this episode of The Covert Code Podcast, Anna Covert sits down with Maria Garaitonandia, leadership coach, communication strategist, and author of Untangling Communication, to explore how communication breaks down before anyone notices. With over 20 years of experience working with global teams across the U.S., Latin America, and Europe, Maria helps leaders restore clarity, trust, and alignment before small misalignments become major problems. In this episode we discuss: • Why communication can feel “off” even when nothing is broken • Where communication breakdowns quietly begin • Why leaders avoid difficult conversations • How misalignment shows up before it’s spoken • The hidden cost of communication drift • How to rebuild trust and clarity in teams If you’re leading a team or scaling an organization, this conversation will change how you think about communication. 📖 GET THE BOOK: The Covert Code – Mastering the Art of Digital Marketing Amazon: https://rb.gy/wrht8 Barnes & Noble: https://rb.gy/vwev0a Target: https://rb.gy/jhpxri ✨ CONNECT WITH MARIA GARAITONANDIA Website: https://www.mariagaraitonandia.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MariaGaraitonandia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mariagaraitonandia/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/globalbridgestraining LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariagaraitonandia/ 🎧 LISTEN ON ALL PLATFORMS Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0UcnL4g4J2DckqMpZg4DdB Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-covert-code/id1733326615 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/d15bb709-a4df-43bb-9284-9e479c8574a7/the-covert-code iHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-covert-code-269144900/ YouTube Music: https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCSU2Anqu1_yzb_D6IFd7i_Q 🌐 FOLLOW THE COVERT CODE Website: https://thecovertcode.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/covertcodeofficial Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecovertcode LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/covert-code-official/ 📚 ABOUT HOST ANNA COVERT Anna Covert is the host of The Covert Code Podcast and author of The Covert Code – Mastering the Art of Digital Marketing and The Solar Coaster.
