TIMA Designs

At TIMA Designs I conceptualised the design and development of the Tima Designs fashion label focused on feminine, sophisticated, chic and elegant fashion pieces for the corporate and glamorous woman.

Managing all aspects of the business from design, production and quality assurance to sales, marketing and distribution provided the opportunity to understand the intricacies and nuances of small business development in a highly competitive industry.

The business success was based on a commitment to quality and integrity of design and an innate understanding of the fashion needs of the corporate woman.  This is reflected in the label being stocked in a number of high-end fashion boutiques across Melbourne.

Additionally, in my work I delivered presentations to audiences that included:

•	International Women’s Day – “A World of Fashion”  -a presentation on running 2 businesses in   fashion and financial planning and how to achieve success.

Sales: Consistently achieved high sales results and supported the organisation in the development and marketing of financial products responsive to the market needs.

Business Development Manager

In 2018, I made a big decision. After 16 + years in financial planning, I decided it was time for a change - not because I had the next big thing lined up, but because I felt a deeper calling. 

I wanted to create something that was truly mine, something that could make a real difference. 

So, I sold my financial planning business and took a leap into the unknown.

My journey began with a podcast. The goal? To inspire and educate, to touch lives in a meaningful way. It was a new chapter, one that brought me to LinkedIn to share my thoughts and connect with others. Little did I know, a simple video post in April 2018 would turn everything upside down. 

Suddenly, companies big and small were reaching out, drawn to the unique blend of my corporate background and this fresh, authentic approach I was taking on LinkedIn.

It was a lightbulb moment. The corporate world was hungry for genuine connection, for personal branding that resonated on a human level. 

So, I founded a new venture focused on just that. Helping leaders and entrepreneurs across the globe build powerful personal brands on LinkedIn became my new mission.

Fast forward to today, I've had the privilege of hosting the most successful entrepreneurs on my podcast, speaking at events worldwide, and most importantly, guiding others to find their purpose and voice online.

If you're looking to elevate your personal brand in an elegant and sophisticated way, a personal brand that's both authentic and impactful, send me a DM. 

I'm here to share what I've learned and to help you elevate your personal brand on LinkedIn.

WHAT I DO: I help entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs & C-Suite executives converge their emotional intelligence with their social presence so that they can become “Thought Leaders” in their niche and ultimately create a lasting impact on people’s lives.

WHY I DO THIS:  I am determined to help people find that inner “greatness”. We all have this “greatness” inside of us. Not only do I help my clients find their greatness, I help them reconnect with their “why” so that they can speak through their PURPOSE. 

YOUR existence matters and YOUR message matters. 

WHAT MAKES ME UNIQUE:  The reason why I have been so successful is because I am focusing on my own “greatness” as well as leveraging my “natural gifts” which include communication, education, inspiration and impact. 

THE RESULTS:  As a result, I have grown my network from 500 to 25,000 + in < 3 months, with 2 Million + views on my content, with organic reach, an engaged community (who are advocates of my mission) but most importantly have resulted in quality in-bound leads into my business that has helped my business grown exponentially.

I stood in the Chanel boutique.
Then walked out empty handed.

A few years ago, I set a goal to buy a luxury bag.
It was a bag I “thought” I wanted.

I surprised myself.
I was instantly put off.

You would think it was the price, but it wasn’t.

It was the long queue outside the boutique.
The identical bag on every other shoulder.
The sales associate’s rehearsed pitch about “timeless investment.”
It was so familiar that it no longer looked or felt valuable to me.

The moment I saw how many wanted it,
I instantly didn’t.

And that’s exactly how I operate on LinkedIn.

If everyone has the formula → I don’t want it.
If everyone posts a certain way → I don’t want it.
If everyone talks about the same things → I don’t want it.

I watch others post what works:
“I made $X in Y months”
“The 5-step framework that...”
“Use this hook to instantly go viral”

And yes, it works.
Of course it works.
That’s why everyone does it.

I COULD talk about the money I’ve made.
But I’d rather talk about my values and vision.

I COULD share the hooks that go viral.
But I’d rather post what emotionally draws people in.

I COULD share the proven playbook.
But I’d rather write from a place that actually matters.

To me, when everyone carries the same bag,
it stops being special.
When everyone uses the same strategy,
it stops being strategic.

Maybe this is a flaw in me in others’ eyes.
This stubborn refusal to post what clearly works.

But to me?
This is my differentiator.

It’s about being yourself even when being someone else would be easier.
Even when the formula is right there… proven, profitable.

Some things lose their value when too many people want them,
but your voice is not one of them.

I can’t afford to be like everyone else.

And that’s the same reason I write the way I write.
Show up the way I show up.
Build the way I build.

My clients feel the same way.
They’re leaders who already move with sophistication in the real world, 
and they want their online presence to feel just as refined, true to who they really are.
That’s the work we do together.
Elegance with impact.

So tell me, are you just as stubborn as I am? 😅

My Mama shared a memory with me today, something her mother once told her.

Years ago she had asked my Teta,
"Why do these difficult moments happen in life?"

And my Teta replied with a line so simple and so full of wisdom:
"Because God loves your voice."

It’s beautiful. And profound. I haven’t stopped thinking about it.

Wishing you a beautiful start to the week.

Data Storyteller and Investment Writer, Founder of Eeagli (LinkedIn Top Voices 2022 - Finance)

I make data dance because when numbers come alive you can see the world for what it is.

I’m James Eagle, a data visualisation specialist, keynote speaker, and seasoned investment writer with two decades of experience in asset management and banking industries. I’ve developed unique techniques that transforming complex topics into clear, compelling stories.

What I Do:

→ Data Visualisation: I bring stories to life through visuals that cut through the noise, revealing truths you might miss that help you start conversations that matter.

→ Thought Leadership: My upcoming book, From Chaos to Clarity (launching July 10), explores how data visualisation could help save humanity from a world drowning in data.

→ Keynote Speaking: When step on stage I ignite the room, bringing data to life through my powerful animated visualisations.

→ AI Innovation: I'm building an AI language model that lets you upload and explore massive datasets, uncover the hidden stories beneath the numbers, and transform these discoveries into powerful visual narratives.

→ Social Media & Communication: I consult with companies of all sizes to help them tell better stories online, bridging the gap between complexity and clarity.

Why It Matters: Because data, when brought to life, has the power to shift perspectives, shape strategies, and ignite new ideas.

James Eagle

AI is starting to look like a closed loop of money.

Goldman Sachs Research have drawn the picture here really well. Their network map of AI partnerships is basically a wiring diagram for circular finance. 

On top of that, a lot of this hardware is being depreciated over 6 to 8 years even though the tech cycle runs on something closer to 2 or 3. Michael Burry has been shouting about this for months. The same names appear on almost every line. Chips, cloud, equity, services. All bouncing around a tiny club that is amplified by the dollar and America’s ability to pull in global capital.

This is not about fraud. It is about concentration and fragility. If the forecasts are wrong and AI infrastructure is overbuilt, whose revenue survives once the circular money slows down? And whose story quietly falls apart?

I will create any data visualisation idea you have on this story. I really want more clarity on these risks. I want to see them. Comment below please

Co-founder of PlotSet | Turn complex data into beautiful, ready-to-share data visualizations. The best bit is no coding required.

This looks like another tech rout, but this chart tells a more interesting story. Returns over the past month are not moving in one direction, they are spreading out.

Some giants like Google and Amazon sit comfortably above zero with double digit gains. Others including Tesla Meta and Oracle are deep in the red. Dispersion is widening, even though every bubble in this chart is a company worth more than $5 billion.

That is what makes data visualisation useful. You can see in seconds that this is not a blanket rout but a market that is starting to separate winners from losers.

In a world of richer dispersion, would you rather own the broad tech index or a concentrated basket of names you believe can justify their valuations? The question is can any of them justify there valuations?

Bitcoin has wiped out its 2025 gains and broken below 100k. The move has been brutally fast, and that speed matters because it looks like panic selling rather than a calm reassessment. See the data visualisation below.

The driver sits in the AI trade. 

Reports suggest OpenAI lost around $8bn in the first half of 2025, with revenue running in the low tens of billions, and it has been marked at about a $500bn valuation in recent secondary deals. NVIDIA now makes up roughly 8% of the S&P 500 raising concerns of concentration risk. Palantir has traded at more than 500 times earnings. 

When large investors finally began to question these valuations, they raised cash by selling their highest risk position first. That was Bitcoin.

Why Bitcoin? Because the same hedge funds, family offices and macro traders who own the big AI names also hold bitcoin as their most speculative asset. When confidence in tech wobbles, they do not sell NVIDIA on day one. They cut Bitcoin to reduce risk. Bitcoin has therefore become the pressure valve for AI anxiety.

You can see the split in the data. Bitcoin is down about 28% in six weeks and roughly $1.2tn has been wiped off the wider crypto market. By contrast, the Nasdaq is only a little off its highs despite the well publicised sell off in tech in recent days.

If Bitcoin is now the first place institutional doubt shows up, what does that tell us about where tech valuations go next? How do you read this story?

Music: Hidden Enigma by Dream Cave, Epidemic Sounds

This is a post from my personal branding coach Tima Elhajj. It's really worth reading because it mirrors my story. I usedto feel like I didn't have an identity in the companies I worked for. I was a cog in a machine. Invisible. That's why I started writing on LinkedIn back in 2016.

So this is what happened:

1. I started to connect with people in other companies, but in the same industry. If I didn't do that, I wouldn't have had the network to scale the business I have today.

2. I gained an outsider perspective, outside the company's walls. I never realised how much I didn't know by learning from others whom I would never normally have conversed with.

3. My self-esteem improved and sense of value as I now knew people on LinkedIn who valued my thoughts.

This was all before I started data visualisation and becoming a Top Voice. What I got from developing a personal brand was access to opportunities I would have never otherwise had. It was liberating. So please post and please show yourself here on LinkedIn.

Each week I’m seeing a pattern.

Executives who aren't job hunting. They're soul searching.

They have the title, the salary, the respect. 
But they're asking themselves: 
"What else is there?"

If anything they love their job. 
They respect their organisation and they care about the people they work with. 

They just understand something that most are too afraid to face.
There is more.
And they’re ready for it.

Ready to share the wisdom they've learned. 
Ready to influence beyond their organisation. 
Ready to build something that is bigger than them. 

One executive told me: 
"I've spent 20+ years doing this and I love it, but where to from here?"

Another said: 
"I love my job. But I also want to write the book I've been outlining in my head for a decade."

The common thread?
They're looking for expansion opportunities.

- Advisory roles that leverage their expertise. 
- Consulting that lets them choose their impact. 
- Books that capture their methodology. 
- Keynotes where they shape the next generation. 

The beautiful part? 
Building your brand makes you more valuable. 

- Your company benefits from your elevated thought leadership. 
- Your team gets inspired by your growth. 
- Your industry gains from your insights. 

And you? You get to [*** fill in the gaps ***]

And it doesn't require leaving what you love.
It requires expanding who you are.
