They'll probably ask questions like "tell me about a time when you..."

Led a group
Changed someone's mind
Changed your mind
Were wrong
Achieved something big
Failed
Etc

Have a few short replies ready that fit this model;
Situation
Problem
What you did
How great it worked out and how people reacted.

When the questions come use the most relevant story.

They might also ask you to explain how you would code something.

Also you should have some questions for them about the job.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard
