Have some 4-5 stories handy and flexible. A singular story can be composed in many ways.

Here's one mine: A group project. I lead. Teammates quarrel. Deadline at neck. Find the source of fight. Resolve fight. Teammates happy. Work done before deadline. Boss happy.

These are only some pointers. Frame a story around this. Now this story can be used to answer these many kindsoff questions:

  1. Time when you resolved a fight
  2. Things you did when you had a tight deadline
  3. Something you did by going beyond your work
  4. Issues you faced with a project etc

This is just my way of doing behavioral rounds. Let me know if theres any

I can tell you what I did.

I wrote down all the initiatives I had led on a word doc in STAR format and simply revised them once every 2 weeks.

I had structured my stories so that almost all of them covered atleast 6-7 points like bias for action, resolving conflict etc.

Maybe you could try something similar

Be natural, mix your stories and keep very little room for open ended questions. Start with what was happening, what you proposed and how it worked well. That's it. Let the interviewer figure out what to put in STAR.
