  • Everything you really want to what about HR

    Love love LOVE listening to these two. As someone who is in HR and loves the people but hates the paperwork it’s refreshing to hear honest talk about HR and culture. Now my only regret is that I didn’t get to work for either of these women, but I will learn what I can from them now :).

  • Truth Works

    I listened to the trailer and am so excited about this podcast. I want to hear what Patty and Jessica have to share about their work experiences together and the wisdom they gather from those they interview. I love the title of the podcast because personally, I believe that truth works in any situation. The truth is, I’m Jessica’s mother and I am so proud of her.

  • Refreshing Message

    I have worked closely with many HR professionals over the years as general counsel and simply as an employee. I love hearing a fresh perspective. Thinking outside the box and being involved in the business as “owners” versus as “support” is a critical shift to helping HR work better for everyone, not just the company. I look forward to hearing more.

Ex-Google HR Boss & CHRO At Oura: Why Most Companies get People Completely Wrong!
Q: How do you view the role of HR when building a business that relies on problem-solving by smart people?
HR should be a strategic partner in shaping the business, ensuring that people strategy is tightly aligned with the company's growth and product goals, and that leadership is capable of driving change rather than merely implementing a fixed playbook.
The 6 Second Trick That Wins Every Negotiation: FBI's Hostage Negotiator || Chris Voss
Q: What is the core idea behind tactical empathy and why is it effective in negotiations?
Tactical empathy is about understanding the other person's perspective and feelings before you push your own agenda, which makes them feel heard and respected; this emotional alignment reduces resistance and opens up a pathway to collaborative solutions.
