Jayson Gaignard, Founder of MastermindTalks & #1 Rated Podcaster answered:

Lots of options. Depends on how personal you want to get (the more personal no matter what the situation, the better).

Opening sample questions:
-What was the best day of last week, and why?
-Describe your “average” day. What are your rituals/routines?
-Complete this statement: My favourite time of the day is...
-Complete this statement: "I lose track of time when..."
-If you had to move and could only take 3 things with you, what would they be?
-Describe the most unpleasant job you ever had to do
-What have you done in the past 3 months that makes you feel proud?
-What would you consider a defining moment in your life?
-etc...

or

-Top Business Achievement (brag)
-Top Personal Achievement (brag)

Also, you can ask "In regards to this meeting, what does success look like to you?". Once you have their desired outcomes out in the open, you can create a discussion and revisit them at the end of the meeting.
