What/who inspires you at work? What/who inspires you outside the office?

What/who inspires you at work? My leader inspires me because he is a constant optimist, keeps a calm head, is incredibly smart and embraces/encourages diversity in very visible ways. He is supportive of women like me and I am truly grateful for that. What/who inspires you outside the office? I am inspired by my family.. I work hard to make sure they see me doing the right thing, making informed decisions, encouraging others, seeking new perspectives, competing aggressively but fairly.
