Dr. Flowers’ Approach

For her formal lectures, Dr. Flowers follows a structured agenda tailored to the client's requested topic and the perspective of the anticipated audience. She prepares a PowerPoint presentation with all that in mind. She loves to accommodate questions at the conclusion of the lecture, but devotes as much time to her speech as the client requests. Dr. Flowers' informal lectures, on the other hand, are very interactive. A brief introduction of the topic and the goals for the discussion are followed by her expert leadership of an open discussion with the audience. She also provides summaries, refocusing and conclusions as appropriate.
