Why values matter in your business with Rebecca Glover and April Creed
Special event as part of mental health month. Hear from April Creed and Rebecca Glover, two former nurses in the aged care and end of life space who have gone on to start Exsitu, a values-based advance care planning start-up. April and Rebecca are on a mission to advocate for choice when you are no longer able to advocate for yourself. Using a mix of technology and self-reflection, April and Rebecca have created a unique roadmap of countless clients who have had their wishes heard and respected, even after losing the ability to communicate.
