None of the above. The best way to use a lectern during your speech is to have it positioned at a comfortable distance in front of you and use it as a tool for supporting your notes or other materials. You can lightly touch the lectern during your speech for stability, but it is important to maintain good posture and avoid leaning on it excessively, as it may create a barrier between you and the audience. Standing slightly to the side of the lectern and using your body language and gestures freely will help you appear more engaged and connected with the audience.
