1) Give story with background, conflicts and solutions. Answers such as "I know 10 ways to motivate a team member, including..." is far from attractive.
2) Give real life story, not only to answer questions, but to demon couple of your personalities.
For example, in "how to motivate team members", you can start with "this reminds me a time when I was leading a XX project, with team members from family rabbit who love carrot." Then "I started to motivate them using cucumber, which turns out no good" "This hurts but force me to rethink" "eventually I pick up the carrot and make them fully motivated". This experience demon: i) your maturity; 2) your understanding of the diversity of the people and their incentives; 3) your ability of ABC (always being contemplative). And it's fun/personal right? I believe everyone has similar experience in his/her life when handling things like that...
3) Just be yourself and relax...
