Leadership and influencing skills, networking, academic and career questions - Chevening Scholarship

Hello everyone. I'm applying to a Chevening scholarship but I need some help with this four questions.
I will appreciate your help. THANKS.
first of all, I don't know what to do in the networking part because i have not skills in section :( only that "I don't have problems talking with new people"...

Leadership and influencing skills
I'm able to be in front of a group of people and influence them to follow the right thing or to complete a specific team job. I'm patient when there is a disagreement in the team, I can listen to the different opinions and discuss what the best solution is.

When I work in teams, I try to establish certain rules to work in the best possible conditions. I set some tasks per member according to their skills including myself, I keep an eye on the progress of the job. Once finished. I make a feedback trying to check if we missed something.

Academic/Studying
I chose these universities taking into consideration some points.
a) They collaborate with the Chevening program.
b) They are highly relevant to my preferences.
c) The core and optional modules are the topics that I want to learn.
d) The facilities and the equipment used in the networking labs.
As I wrote about my academic and professional experience, I'm into networking topic because I like to connect, set and manage networks. I also want to enhance the way that we are connected to the world finding innovative and why not new methods. My professional experience allows me to confront any kind of situations in networking.

After taking this course I want to keep studying networks, getting Cisco certifications starting with CCNA and continuing with CCNP. All this to gain more knowledge and apply it in my future job.

Career plan
I have in mind three possible plans.
1) I will look for a job in government bodies.
2) I will put my own enterprise in my city.
3) I will send my CV to a networking enterprises.
Independently of which plan I will follow, I want to share my study experience with other students, because they need the motivation to finish their degree, I think I will be a prove of that. Also, I want to talk with the director of the Technological Institute of Durango to make an agreement between them and the university that will choose me in the UK having student exchanges.

If I have free time, I want to teach my knowledge and experiences learned to a small group of people involved in the IT and networking.

that's it...

Thank you, and have a great weekend :)

Each of these statements need to be expanded into essay length responses. I believe that the maximum word count is provided along with the prompt. Take into consideration that your responses to each prompt is so brief that it doesn't really offer a comprehensive insight into what you are trying to tell the reviewer. You need to be thorough in your response because this is part of your preliminary interview. If you do not present an effective series of essays, you might not be able to get a final interview date. Let's get started.

1. When you talk of your leadership and influencing skills. Discuss a real activity or organization wherein you exercised a role as the leader. As the leader, you were expected to lead the team using the skills of motivation and influence. Discuss a part of the activity that the organization was involved in where you had to exert your leadership role. If the team was uncooperative, explain how you motivated / influenced them to work together in order to have a successful activity.

2. For your academic / study plan, I believe that you need to present your choice of 3 universities, with varying masters degree options, which you need to discuss. That means that you have to expand upon each university within one essay. So if you say you want to attend University A, mention the course you want to enroll in, then the reasons why you believe that this works well within your chosen career path. Then discuss the last two universities in the same manner.

3. Your career plan should cover at least the first 3 years of your career after graduation. Develop a career development plan that indicates the progression of your career in terms of work hierarchy and how you plan to achieve it. Then indicate how these masters degree studies will help you achieve those plans. Don't forget to include information about how your career might be able to help promote the scholarship as well.

Here is an idea for you regarding networking. Think of an activity that you participated in where you were appointed the leader. Now, think of the objective of the group. What were you expected to accomplish as a team? As the leader, how did you and the team decide to approach the task? Were the members of your team cooperative? If they were, what was that work experience like for you as a leader? If they were not cooperative, what were the obstacles that the team faced in terms of team work? As the leader, how did you analyze the situation? What action did you decide to take in order to make the group work more efficiently? Were you successful in implementing your plans? What was the end result of the activity? As the leader, what lessons did you learn with regards to effective leadership and and how to use it in order to properly influence your subordinates? These are the types of questions and information that can properly help you develop a response to that prompt.
