My guest today, Tina Kirwin-McGinley, is a teacher of the deaf and has worked in schools in Manchester for over thirty years. She is also a swimmer, cyclist and dear friend to many.
We could talk about all of the above attributes, but I want to focus on Tina's gift for making life better for everybody by always leaving a place better than how she found it.
We talk about -
Taking responsibility for things that are broken in the local neighbourhood; The Planters Project
Being the person who notices and puts things right
Planning the steps to take and overcoming resistance; Playing Field Project.
The satisfaction of taking action with others; - Wombling
Civic responsibility and pride in where people live, work, and travel
Directing energy into something that might make a positive difference for everybody

The book I gave to Tina was Ikigai, The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life: Hector Garcia and Francesc Mirales
