**Find a mentor **who can support you, work on your goals or even objectives, and someone you can speak to always.
Find a mentor at work or in the community to help you reach your leadership goals.
Speak to your manager to see if there is someone who could help mentor you and reap better results as a lead.
Imposter syndrome - let's have a look at what this really means.
It's the inability to internalize achievements and downplaying accomplishments.
It's okay not to know it all. Have faith within. Raise your concerns always.
It is completely fine if you are a new leader or an existing leader and you don't have experience with certain things.
Remember to ask for help, remember no question is a silly question, and remember that slowly you will learn and feel more confident at your role.
Some resources to support your journey include attending some conferences, webinars, following some community leads and speaking to them, and reading some books.
Some of my favorite books include How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, Drive by Daniel H. Pink, _Start with Why _by Simon Sinek, and Atomic Habits by James Clear.
Test Automation University can also support your journey via their courses that they have to offer, logs, and even webinars.
As a leader, you can use their AI backed platform like Applitools to make your test automation better and stronger from the strategic perspective.
