    I would meditate before work to calm my anxiety (worse in the mornings).

    I took notes of things I knew in addition to those things I didn't. This helped me feel a little more comfortable. I kept notes on compliments as well. I was an active listener.

    I sought out people who I had a natural rapport with and kept my comments to a minimum and questions to a reasonable level.

    Mostly I gave myself grace to take it all in. The first 3 months went by in a snap and things started to take on a rhythm. I reminded myself that I didn't need to know everything. I needed to be thoughtful in my approach and diligent in my effort to contribute in small ways until I knew more. By month 4 things started to gel.
