Bring experienced judgement to the question in front of you.
Work with us when the situation needs more than information alone. Bring experienced judgement to a specific decision, design a larger opportunity, support a cohort or address a business that depends too heavily on its founder.
The right route depends on who needs the help, the context and the level of involvement required.
How we can help ↓The free Library remains available whether or not you work with us.
For organisations
Commission practical work for the people you support.
Bring Inspiration Space into your organisation when participants need to practise entrepreneurial judgement, investigate a business question or leave with a tangible piece of work.
The three offers below are useful starting points. We also consider collaborations, partnerships and commissioned work shaped around a place, sector, community or organisational context.
-
New Beginnings
Help participants turn an idea, area of expertise or identified opportunity into a credible go-to-market plan.
A commissionable 90-day programme, delivered live, blended or through licensed self-guided delivery.
-
The Jar Test
Help founders assess seven areas of the business and choose what deserves attention next.
A hands-on diagnostic workshop, delivered in person or online.
-
Future Fit Teams
Help participants decide which mix of skills, experience, adaptability and viewpoints a future challenge needs.
A live decision simulation, co-delivered with Katherine Ray of Talentology.
Is this the kind of work you commission?
You may be supporting people to explore self-employment, develop an idea, strengthen an existing business or make better decisions about work and growth. We are most useful when participants need to think, test and produce something — not simply sit through another presentation.
-
Turn possibility into informed action
Help people test an idea, shape a credible offer and decide what to do before investing heavily.
-
Make a difficult decision practical
Use a workshop or programme to help a mixed-stage group work through the same question without forcing the same answer.
-
Build something useful together
Collaborate on support that reflects your participants, place or sector while preserving clear outcomes and evidence boundaries.

Before you ask
You do not need to arrive with a finished brief.
Bring the people you are supporting, the change you want to create and what you already know. We can work out whether an existing offer fits or a different response is needed.
Who you would be working with
Practical, candid and interested in what will work in reality.
Liana Fricker founded Inspiration Space and leads its strategic and programme work. She has designed and delivered entrepreneurial learning, facilitated complex conversations and helped founders turn ideas and experience into clearer commercial decisions. Expect thoughtful questions, plain language and no theatre for theatre's sake.
For founders
Bring us the knotty bit.
Sometimes 90 minutes is enough to find the decision and create a clear sequence of action. Sometimes a larger opportunity needs several sessions, a strategic document or longer-term support. The Library remains free and useful on its own.
Choose the route by how much architecture the situation needs, not by how impressive the business looks from outside.
90 minutes Borrow My Brain · one-to-one · £350 plus VAT
One problem. Ninety minutes. A written flight plan the next business day.
Let us work out what would be useful.
Tell us who you are supporting, the question or opportunity in front of them and what you want the work to make possible. We will tell you whether an existing offer fits or whether a different collaboration is worth exploring.
A useful first conversation, without pretending the brief is already finished.
