KIM ISAACS SCHEDULING SPECIALIST : LOCAL ENTERTAINMENT CHANNELS
KIM
Blossomed & Thriving
Words by Luthando Nkambule
Kim describes herself be a bubbly person who is a lover of other people and has always had a love for media and music; it is that same love and passion that drove her into studying media, comms and journalism at Monash University. She thereafter seized an opportunity to work as an intern at ViacomCBS as an intern in 2015, where she was part of the programming team, which piqued her interest in scheduling. Her intrigue in scheduling stems from her love of media and understanding of audiences and what they want. Kim started working officially as a programming assistant when her contract was extended and thus her journey began. After seven years, she then moved on to work at Disney for nine months, before ending up at MultiChoice as a Scheduling Specialist. Kim found her biggest challenge as a woman in her field to have been finding her voice. Kim is someone who used to struggle with ‘people-pleasing’ and found it difficult to speak up and always found herself withholding her truth. She has since worked on that and has found her voice within her occupation, thanks to other incredible women that she works with, who have created a safe environment where she learned to speak up and express herself. Kim feels that women in business have an important role to play in validating other women in the workplace and creating a safe space for one another.
