I'm feeling lost and overwhelmed in a fast-paced consulting project. I am a new MBA hire and have just completed my 7th day on a 2-year project as a PMO. My supervisor's comments about HIS lack of confidence are shaking MY confidence. I am afraid to ask questions, but do know I need to get up to speed. Do you have any advice on how to get through these early days and rebuild my confidence?

Stay in communication about expectations and priorities on a frequent basis. The only way to build confidence is to get actionable feedback from your manager and work to meet and review progress on the expectations that would alleviate concerns. Usually its a communication issue you are competent you just need to dial up on communicating a bit in a way that’s driving towards improvement
