Summary: <p>“Are truly inspirational people, who tangibly effect change and progress in others, those that talk, grab headlines and chase buzz words and phrases? Or are they those who show the way, and broaden inclusivity and opportunities etc by showing what and how it can be done by their actions, and through their own lived lives? To me inspirational words resonate far far far less than inspirational actions do, and can often have a longer shelf life and be more relatable.</p> <p>Also, do you think inspirational people distract themselves from growing as people, by getting too bogged down in rhetoric (internal as well as external, public as well as private), and not focusing enough on their actions, and not living the life they want for themselves, and others?</p> <p>Most of us learn better by watching, instead of listening, well that's what it seems to me, so should that be factored in more to help mitigate the societal challenges we're facing?”</p> <p>Stuart and William embark on an in-depth conversation which was prompted by the above question, sent in by listener Jason in Dove Holes, Derbyshire, England.</p> <p>They discuss how you can be the person you want to be by living your life, and showing through your actions who you are. We're often in the mindset that we have to announce everything publicly, but often it's not what someone says, it's what they do that matters more. Buzzwords and phrases move on, and lose their impact over time, so you inspire people longer term by doing what you do and talking less. They conclude by asking the question, how can we be more inspirational as individuals?</p> <p>What do you make of this discussion? Do you have a question that you'd like us to discuss?
