How do you build a workplace people don’t want to leave?
In this episode of Heliona Insight, we sat down with Jon Hile, Executive Director of the Kansas City Public Schools Education Foundation, to explore what mission-driven organizations can teach the private sector about engagement, retention, and trust.
With a background spanning public education, social impact, and systems leadership, Jon shares how values-based decision-making, community-centered strategy, and long-term thinking have shaped how he leads. We also discuss why purpose—not just perks—keeps people connected, and how clarity of mission can be a powerful tool for culture.
If you’re in the business of building great teams, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to rethink what makes people stay.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
