Great advice that

When feeling anxious about an event, it usually seems a lot worse than what it turns out to be. Just get the basics and research the subject of the event and I'm sure you'll be fine.

Took me ages to learn about my job and with it just being myself specialising the area, it was hard going and many times I thought of jacking it in. But with working late each night and getting my head around complex issues, it gradually got better and now it's kind of a breeze.
Sometimes being thrown in at deep end can do wonders.
