About Workplace Unfiltered: A Heliona Experience

Wednesday, October 15, 2025The Abbott | Kansas City, MO

RSVP Required to attend!

-----------------------------

Workplace Unfiltered is a bold new space where empathy meets accountability, and leadership meets real life. This experience is more than an event, it’s a chance to step inside an honest, high-impact night where the culture of work is reimagined through mental wellbeing, vulnerability, story, and data-backed insight.

Hosted by Heliona Insight Podcast, the platform dedicated to socializing mental health in the workplace. This immersive evening brings together people-first leaders, mental health advocates, HR & Benefits leaders, researchers, and executives to make one thing clear:

We can do work differently. And it starts with telling the truth.

Agenda

🕑: 05:00 PM - 05:35 PM
The Helium Score Immersive Experience + Networking & Live Classical Music
Host: Heliona, Inc.

Info: Before you enter the main space, we’ll ask you one simple question:
How are you really feeling today?
You’ll answer by placing a red, yellow, or green magnet on our Helium Score Board — a live snapshot of the room’s mental and emotional state. This will set the tone for the evening and reappear after the event for a second check-in to see how the energy has shifted.


🕑: 05:40 PM - 05:50 PM
Opening Monologue : “Performance and Mental Health”
Host: Ebrima "Abraham" Sisay

Info: Founder and Host of Heliona Insight Podcast, Ebrima will open the night introducing the Helium Score — a live pulse check on the mental and emotional state of the room and unpacks what it reveals about how performance truly works.


🕑: 05:50 PM - 06:20 PM
Expert Panel: The State of Work & Wellbeing
Host: Dr. Katie Gaebel

Info: A thought-provoking panel featuring researchers, workplace researchers and HR leaders, and mental health professionals discussing:
- Manager burnout and disengagement
- Organizational mental health blind spots
- Why performance is suffering under outdated leadership models


🕑: 06:30 PM - 07:15 PM
Live Podcast Recording + Audience Q&A
Host: Merideth Rose

Info: Be part of a raw, unscripted Heliona Insight recording and then join the conversation. This is your chance to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and co-create the dialogue.


🕑: 07:20 AM - 08:00 PM
Post-Show Connection, Networking + Final Helium Score Check-In

Info: You’ll return to the Helium Score Board and drop a second magnet — to reflect how the event made you feel. Then enjoy music, refreshments, networking, and one last chance to meet the voices behind the mic.
