inspirer
Source of motivation
An inspirer is someone who inspires others—filling them with enthusiasm, motivation, or creative impulse.
The word is less common than the noun inspiration or the adjective inspiring, but it names the person doing the inspiring: She was the inspirer of the whole movement.
Often appears in religious or artistic contexts to describe muses, mentors, or visionaries who spark action in others.
