In our first ever Speed Coaching session providing 10 tips in 30 minutes, Leadership Strategist and Empowerment Coach [Marsha Haygood](https://www.tonenetworks.com/expert/64/marsha-haygood) shared her top tips for how to ask for, receive and give feedback when you want to correct your course, focus your productivity and achieve your career goals.

1.  Prepare in advance for the conversation
2.  Be direct, and respectful, not defensive
3.  Focus on issues, not the person
4.  Be aware of intent versus impact
5.  Discuss expectations and give examples as needed

…AND THERE’S MORE!
