Fun questions are a simple yet effective way to ease into a meeting and break the stiffness that can come with structured agendas. Try asking, “If you could instantly master one work-related skill, what would it be?” or “What’s the strangest job you’ve ever had?” These kinds of questions not only get people talking, but they inject a little humor and curiosity into the start of the meeting. They help set a relaxed, open tone that makes everyone more willing to engage and contribute throughout the session.
