Don't offer examples that are basic requirements of the job where you have shown a need for improvement. Instead, focus on areas that are within an acceptable range of what might be outside your comfort zone. Showing motivation to expand the sphere of your comfort zone is ideal.

"I feel honored for the opportunities that were presented to me in my previous position. I feel like I made a difference, but there was little growth opportunity in the company, and I felt like I could do more. This position is the right fit for me. It gives me room to grow and make more of an impact in my field."

"This takes my career a step forward. I needed to break out of the rut of doing the same job day in and day out. I am beyond grateful for the work I've done, and there is no doubt it's had an impact, but I feel compelled to step further outside of my comfort zone and push myself to accomplish bigger, greater things. I guess I'm greedy that way. When I see I'm contributing to my field, I just wish I could do more."
