How do I brainstorm for writing positively about myself?
I've always struggled writing about myself, but I need to apply for a program and the application has a lot of very broad but personal questions like, 

* Tell us why you would be a good leader
* Explain a time you helped drive an organizational change

What are some tips for a) coming up with good examples and b) presenting myself positively without braggadocio?
