My dad told me to just 'wing it' on my first big client presentation
He said overplanning would make me stiff, so I went in with just bullet points. I completely blanked halfway through and had to ask for a five minute break. After that disaster, I made a full script for my next pitch in Denver and landed the account. Anyone else have a piece of advice that backfired completely?

Just bullet points? That's terrifying.

Bullet points can feel so final, right? My old boss used them for everything, even birthday party invites. "Bring chips. Arrive by 7. No gifts." It made a barbecue sound like a military operation.
