Single Question · Listening First
ELAINE WELTEROTH
Media & Editorial
Clarity starts with one question.
Plain note — Write one real question, then listen.
Who·What·Why — Editor-interviewer · writes a single top-line question and closes the laptop · lets the answer lead.
Reading the moment
A notebook opens with one line at the top. The laptop closes. Her torso angles toward the subject and the pen rests.
Why it holds
A simple prompt clears noise so the story reveals itself.
Put to work
Write the one question before you begin.
In your day
Lead with one sentence; close the extra tab.
