Give a moment to the interviewee to see if they want to add anything else to what they just said. It may look like they finished their statement, but in fact, they often want to say more. They just need the space to say it."</p> <p>Like the poet said, "pause, so that something important can catch up with you."</p> <p>I think we don't "pause" enough.</p> <p>Great series!</p> <p>Keep creating...today's masterpiece,<br /> Mike</p> Thu, 06 Nov 2008 15:09:42 -0500 Mike Wagner 1072303 at http://www.fastcompany.com http://www.fastcompany.com/comment/comment-node-ant-2526 <p>As I was reading your post I kept thinking of Gandolf of the Toilken fame. Maybe instead of "story steward" you might refer to "story wizard"? Grin.</p> <p>And, you are so right to keep the questions to yourself. The journey is no longer a journey if I know the questions.
