Training Day: Can you train someone to be inspirational?

The consensus is that inspiration cannot be taught or trained.  

For example, research by Crown Workplace Relocations earlier this year found that eight per cent of employees say their best ideas were formed in the Boardroom.   

Over a third said that informal chatting with colleagues was where most ideas were generated, a fifth said it was on their commute, and 15% said the brainwaves came to them during lunch or when on a break.

So, if, as the findings suggest, inspiration doesn’t arise from conventional workplace scenarios, can it be taught?
