What is one of your strengths?
Take advantage of this opportunity to speak to your merits and what you are uniquely valued for as a person. It can pertain to your hard or soft skills. Also, where possible, try to align each of your answers to what they advertise they are looking for in their ideal candidates. You'll be able to determine this by researching their website and familiarizing yourself with how they describe what makes their teams and company culture unique.
"One of my greatest strengths is that I am a people person, and have an ability to relate to, and empathize with other people. My co-workers often mention that they really admire this trait. I just really enjoy helping people, and many customers come in asking for me when they need help with something."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

I can relate to people very well by paying attention to the person with whom I'm speaking, empathizing with any issues that are coming up, and letting the other person set the pace of the interaction so that a person feels more at ease overall.

Try expanding on this to give the interviewer more context. A quick example would be a nice element to add here.

My best trait is being able to empathize with people. I am able to relate to one another easy and friends often come to me for advice or just someone that can listen for comfort.

It's great that you're empathetic and relatable. These are both qualities that the interviewer will be happy to hear you have since this will likely mean that you're good with customers. Consider talking a bit about how these qualities help you when you're working with customers.
