You can be a motivator and a confident communicator in any situation at work or school! Give an example of how you coached a coworker who had difficulty preparing for a big presentation. Maybe you gave them confidence in their strengths by encouraging them, or perhaps you offered some helpful hints. Or, you might have tutored a classmate who was having difficulty in a particular subject. Focus on providing an example that shows you act as a leader even when not in a leadership role.

"I demonstrate leadership qualities even when not in a leadership position by setting a good example. I feel a true leader leads by example and will step in to coach and mentor others. For example, I had a classmate struggling to understand a particular subject, and the professor could not explain it in a way my classmate understood. I spent a weekend explaining the subject in a different manner, and my classmate finally got it. I enjoy being a leader and someone others look up to."
