Suggested Interview Questions
for Kathy Peel
Author of Desperate Households
------------------------------------------------------------------
- Kathy,
you’ve helped desperate families make over their lives under the bright
lights of television cameras. What advice do you have for desperate
families that aren’t selected for a TV makeover?
- What
are the signs that your household has hit a level of desperation?
- You
are known as “America’s Family Manager.” What exactly is a Family Manager and is this a new way of saying “stay-at-home mom”?
- I
love what you write about discovering your personal family management
style. How did you discover your own style and how can other people
discover theirs?
- Your
book, Desperate Households, begins the makeover process with an
examination of priorities. Why does this come before the clutter makeover
or the time management section?
- Lots
of women resort to nagging to get their kids and husband to help out at
home. But I’m sure there are better options. What do you recommend to
reduce the nagging and increase the teamwork?
- Mornings
and dinnertime can be two of the most harried times of day for families.
Do you have tips for improving these family “rush hours”?
- You
write about the need for a “self-development makeover.” What does that
mean for a woman?
- I
understand our listeners/viewers can visit your website to locate a Family
Manager Coach in their area. What do these coaches offer?
