Meet the founder
Liana Fricker
Founder and Inspirer-in-Chief, Inspiration Space
Liana Fricker is a creative entrepreneur, speaker, moderator and strategic thought partner. She helps people turn knowledge, experience and ideas into work that works for them through Inspiration Space Library, Borrow My Brain and commissioned programmes.
The long version
Useful knowledge should be easier to access and more widely shared.
Liana founded Inspiration Space in Surrey in 2018 as a place for self-starters, freelancers and founders to learn, work and build alongside other people. She is also a co-founder of Elevate & Fly, the company behind Inspiration Space.
Her background spans creative strategy, communications and years of practical work alongside founders and small businesses through programmes, workshops and advisory work.
At Inspiration Space, Liana shapes the Library's philosophy and editorial direction, delivers Borrow My Brain and Borrow My Brain+, and designs and facilitates commissioned programmes and workshops.
Her current work explores the place of human judgement in a world with more information, automation and AI — and how people can turn what they know into work that works for them.
Commissioned by
Programmes, events and talks built for other people's founders — Imperial College, the University of Winchester, Woking Borough Council and Enterprise Nation among them.
