This blog is written by Palmer Enfield. Palmer is a producer-director and the founder of RedMaiden (www.redmaiden.tv), a branded content, boutique creative company. As a director, her forte is slice of life storytelling and visual imagery. Like RedMaiden, she is a warrior in her own right--a two time cancer survivor (Hodgkins Lymphoma & Breast Cancer) her strength has been forged in life or death battles. Palmer’s personal experience adds a unique weight and substance that is reflected in her work where her willingness to expose and share her own story helps people give voice to their own personal human drama. Out of this comes Palmer’s natural sense of dialogue and performance and her ability to capture spontaneity through great casting choices and direction. Palmer’s directing style is emotional, visual storytelling, dialogue and kids with a touch of subtle, dry humor. Her growing body of work naturally attracts pharmaceutical and healthcare related projects as well as many others. Palmer believes strongly that mentoring and sharing information is essential to the growth of a creative economy. This blog was born out of that belief. Contact Palmer at palmer@redmaiden.tv

The Makings of a Great PA

The makings of a great PA:
• flexibility - you roll with the punches.
• adaptability - you shift gears quickly and anticipate the next move. You don’t repeat mistakes.
• communication - you listen attentively and speak clearly and specifically.
• attention – to details
• willingness - to get the job done
• courtesy - you are polite to everyone at all times.
• hyper-vigilance - you see and hear everything as it happens and you quickly learn everybody’s name and position.
• a gigantic sense of responsibility - you take your assignments very seriously and always complete them.
• resiliency - you don’t take any of it personally.
• neatness - yes, it counted in elementary school and it counts again now. Everything from your petty cash to your production truck should be immaculate and brilliantly organized.
