'Richard Siegersma was born into a conservative religious migrant family, his parents wanting to provide each of the 7 children with opportunities they thought only Australia could offer. A career in sales, marketing, consulting and senior leadership roles led to a journey of self-discovery to re-frame the religious constructs that were part of his life. As Executive Director of the Centre for Spirituality, Wellbeing and Health, his objective is to improve the quality of life, build strong communities, create educational resources and motivate everyone to care more about themselves, others and the planet.'
