Industry professional…
Barbara Dally is a hardworking professional who’s had the opportunity to work in television and film for decades, be in unusual situations and circumstances many times, locally and nationwide. For example: a national cable television show called Celebrity Poker Showdown, invited Barbara to work with “Picture This TV”. Goal: organize a team of 17 union makeup and hair professionals from Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Louisiana (some of whom were homeless, affected by Katrina). Second season on location in Louisiana two weeks after hurricane Katrina landed. She successfully formed a cohesive team, arriving on location and on schedule, ready to multi-task, facing several weeks of taping, expertly preparing the A-List celebrities for camera.
The challenge of a distant location with additional pending hurricane at hand, Barbara leveraged her team leadership skills to motivate and guide many geographically dispersed professionals – through daily phone conferences and daily e-mails, changing up the rules as needed.
Communication was often down. Production managers, all crew, independent contractors brought “MacGyver” to work. At the very top, CEO Ex Prod Marci Mule nurtured all aspects throughout the entire rigorous second season. Barbara’s leadership skills impressed the executives at Picture This TV production, Bravo Channel. Every hair and makeup artist was loved and recognized by celebs as “amazing”. All talented hair and makeup souls bonded in the face of adversity.
Management and business style description…
Barbara’s management style grew from team experiences, cultivating good leadership skills, has strength in that she is fair and just, a good listener, and personable. She believes that in order to arrive at good solutions and work within budgets well, respecting time schedules is necessary for a team to prosper.
As a faith driven businesswoman with a vision, her passion is to be part of a team that completes expected daily or season goals, brings fresh ideas pertaining to the image of character, performer, personality, or celebrity. The most important aspect of her management style is the ability to support, inspire, and motivate, while enabling others to shine.
Indeed, she knows that good healthy attitudes are contagious! She knows that it helps to send actors to set with confidence! Barbara is dedicated and hard working. She believes that being gracious and appreciative, she’s requested or invited back, revered and referred by production companies, executives, actors, but most important to her… are the friendships that are made by the end of the show.
Barbara’s work skills include: encouraging help among teams of professionals and believes it is good to: feel free to ask any question, be honest, do your best to stay on track, hone new and old skills, practice financial responsibility, build a pro-active team, expand creatively, product use and education go hand in hand, network with like businesses, volunteer/participate/donate to the community through our industry, build a welcoming good/first impression, provide on-camera folks what they want and need… she believes this brings a cohesive and positive vibe/atmosphere to the hair and makeup trailer or business location.

The Opportunity
In today’s media, the American Red Cross receives only partial credit for all of the great work they perform. If the American Red Cross wanted to tell its own story, and if the world was in fact interested in its incredible accomplishments, then a vehicle must be put into place that will focus on this message. That vehicle is cable and satellite television.
The American Red Cross, through its own reality-based programming, can present true to life drama that is sure to captivate audiences and attract advertisers. Through positive intention and reality-based programming the American Red Cross can present a true and accurate accounting of its life saving efforts while simultaneously educating its audience on effective disaster preparedness and emergency training.
In fact, with half of all the citizens of the United States having been aided by the humanitarian efforts of the American Red Cross, it can safely be said that there is a yearning to better know and appreciate the true stories that live and breathe, “Inside the Cross”.
