What advice would you give to a novice presenter regarding practicing before a big presentation?

a. Don’t practice; it destroys the spontaneity you need to give an upbeat presentation.

b. Make multiple practice runs, a half dozen if needed, to make sure you can deliver the material smoothly and confidently.

c. Write out a script and memorize it word for word; you can’t risk forgetting any key points.

d. One practice session is adequate; use the extra time to polish your presentation slides instead.
