As a good friend of mine says to punctuate a beginning and motivate the group for the task
ahead:

TIPS
Leading with Questions
Start the Year with
your Pockets Filled with Questions
One
good question
asked at the right time with the right tone generates a greater
impact than 100 bombarding statements. The art of leading
involves asking
questions. Lots of them. Keep the Leading with Questions
sheet handy throughout the year. When you feel the urge to make a
statement...take a peak and find a good question.
