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.

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? 😅

Marketing Director

Freelance, self-employed

Being a public speaker is not an easy task. A public speaker has to look for new things, new updates always. And if you have some storytelling in your speaking, man you have to keep looking for them too. 

I am the kind of public speaker who loves to get engaged with my audience. I usually start my speaking with a story that hooks the listener. Like:

"One day a man, standing in front of 1000 people out of blue started drinking coffee in a styrofoam cup. He then raised his cup and said 'We all deserve this styrofoam cup, not the ceramic cup'. Would you like to know the reason? Because. Exactly a year ago, I was called here in a private jet, some people took my luggage and checked me into a hotel, next morning someone was standing to greet me in the lobby, I came here in a limousine, set in a green room and was drinking a coffee in a ceramic cup without asking for it. However, this year I came here by myself, carried my luggage, checked in into the hotel myself, no one was in the lobby next morning, took a taxi here, find my way to the backstage, asked for a coffee and a person pointed me to the coffee machine and I had a coffee in this styrofoam cup."

Story to start. My topics are:
1) Entrepreneurship
2) Marketing
3) CV writing
4) LinkedIn
5) Motivational/Inspirational words

Public Speaker

Academic & Career Excellence

Founded this venture when I was in my 3rd year of bachelors degree program with Muhammad Hussain.

Since then, the company has grown. I basically do all by myself like:

1) digital marketing
2) post designing
3) content writing
4) videography
5) photography 
6) event coordination

And many more.

Co-Founder

It all started in 1996, Karachi, Pakistan.

Kidding. (Well, not really, but that’s not how I’m going to start this story.)

Entrepreneurship has always been in my blood since the day I opened my eyes to this world. I belong to a business-oriented family and the mindset of a businessman is a built-in feature.

I started my entrepreneurial journey with pencils when I was just 8 years old. I use to buy a pencil box for Rs 30/- and sell one pencil for Rs 5/- which leaves Rs 2/- profit per unit. But soon had to close it down because of a stationary shop opened at my school where a pencil was Rs 3/- per unit.

Then I started trading Pokemon cards, Beyblades, Digimon cards and other famous cartoon toys for more than 3 years but had to close it down too because of cartoon popularity shifted towards Dragon Ball Z which had nothing to trade as a toy.

Then I found refill pencils and bring them for the first time in my school but soon it was copied and I stopped.

But when I was in my 3rd year of BBA, I and my friend started a business called "ACE" or "Academic & Career Excellence" to help students get a job through our powerful CVs which has just completed it's 2nd anniversary in June this year. This startup introduced me to LinkedIn, Video content creation and much more which awakened the sleeping public speaker inside of me. Only this year, I have spoken to 1000s of people upon topics like CVs, LinkedIn, Personal Branding but most importantly Motivation & Inspiration.

Remember my family, they recently started a startup by the name HPack P.E.T & Packaging Solutions to help brands deliver their value through Plastic Packaging. We mostly deal with P.E.T Bottles and Jars. We manufacture them here at S.I.T.E Superhighway Industrial Area. (Attachment under). This leads me to have my sales skills tested and I am loving every bit of it.

My main skills:
- Sales (Prospecting, Qualifying Prospect, Sales Calls, Negotiation, and Sales Closing). I do it for HPack P.E.T & Packaging Solutions, Remember?

- Public Speaking (Although I speak on CVs, LinkedIn, and Personal Branding for students but I love to speak on business topics like Marketing. Also Motivational Speaking is my favorite).

- Video Creation (I now know how to run a professional camera, edit video, edit audio, and also how to do the work prior to this).

- Storytelling is my new game nowadays.
