Illuminating the Unseen: Inspiration is all around

Inspiration and inspirational people are all around us... but we don't always see them, do we? Perhaps we are too bogged down in the day to day to notice? Or maybe some of us just can't see it when it's standing in front of us?  On a recent trip to Edinburgh, I met an amazing chap called Charlie. Dressed in a cloak, he gave a group tour with a Harry Potter theme, and I- as well as the rest of the crowd - were completely captivated by not just his delivery, but his passion, his knowledge, how genuinely excited he was about everything he had to share.  A lot of the time, we see people shouting about why they're brilliant, but I personally prefer to see people show their greatness through action, not their own 'reviews'! This got me thinking- inspired by Charlie - about what makes people inspirational? Exceptional? How we can spot, nurture and support them, and how we can examine our own behaviour and adjust to inspire others, just like Charlie- and many others- do for me.
