Your entire post is beautiful. I dunno how else to say it.

Sorry for not having anything useful to contribute... all I can say is that I built confidence by taking over a dying section of my team (it was the Animation committee, not very engineer-y... but that's how I got into the team after all) and then becoming a leader through steps...
