Agree with STAP. Also, try to tie your answer in to the open role. Eg, In my current role, I split my time between practice areas A and B. Going forward, I want to focus on A for Reason. That's one reason why this position appeals to me; it would be a great opportunity for me to contribute my expertise in A by XYZ...

STAP1 nailed it. Only thing I would share is be humble when talking about challenges and growth, and be as genuine as you can.
