Public Image: The Leadership Presence Program

A Signature Program by Boss Women

For women who lead—whether you run a company, drive capital, influence policy, shape culture, or lead a mission.

Presence is your strategy. Visibility is your advantage.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Public Image: The Leadership Presence Program is an elite 8-session experience designed to support women who already lead—with power, conviction, and impact—and are ready to elevate their visibility with intention and precision.

This is immersive, strategic work that enhances how your presence is received across media, boardrooms, stages, and high-stakes public moments.

Whether you're preparing for greater visibility, capital raising, policy engagement, or legacy positioning—you will be seen, recognized for your presence, and positioned with authority.

“In every room you enter, your image speaks first. Public Image ensures it says exactly what you intend.”
— Nadine Spencer

How the Experience Unfolds

From your first session, you’ll engage in a focused, high-level sequence of live strategy sessions—designed to sharpen your message, elevate your delivery, and define your public leadership with precision.

Each week builds strategically: from articulating your narrative to commanding space in high-stakes environments. You’ll be guided through voice coaching, media discipline, and performance delivery—culminating in a moment that captures the strength and clarity of your presence.

Whether in a private cohort or one-on-one, the experience is immersive, paced, and results-driven—designed for leaders who are ready to own their image and activate their authority.

The Spencer Protocol™

The Spencer Protocol™ is a proprietary leadership framework developed by Nadine Spencer. Grounded in lived experience and tested in high-stakes visibility, it guides women leaders through the complexities of public leadership—navigating scrutiny, shaping perception, and activating voice with strategic precision.

This eight-pillar system serves as the foundation for how participants develop, embody, and activate their public presence:

  • Strategic Identity – Define your leadership narrative with clarity and credibility.

  • Voice & Messaging Power – Establish a signature voice and messaging system that aligns across every platform.

  • Command Presence – Own space physically and vocally with confidence and precision.

  • Public Performance – Deliver with impact, emotional control, and resonance.

  • Media Training & Message Control – Lead interviews and appearances with discipline and narrative command.

  • Leadership in Crisis – Speak and lead when pressure peaks. Use visibility to create direction.

  • Thought Leadership Positioning – Align your voice to the platforms that shape influence: media, boards, policy, and stages.

  • Signature Presence Activation – Synthesize your work into a defining leadership moment.

More than a curriculum, The Spencer Protocol™ is a strategic system—built to reshape how voice, visibility, and public power are claimed and commanded.

Your transformation begins the moment you enter the room. Public Image: The Leadership Presence Program unfolds over eight strategic sessions—each one designed to sharpen your visibility, align your voice with your vision, and refine the way you are perceived in the most powerful spaces. Whether delivered in a private cohort or one-on-one, the experience is intentional, immersive, and results-driven.

THE PROGRAM JOURNEY

What to Expect Inside the Experience

  • Clarify your public image, purpose, and platform. We define your leadership narrative, audience, and the perception gaps that may be limiting your visibility.

  • Craft your signature voice, key message pillars, and brand essence. You’ll learn how to articulate who you are and what you stand for—consistently and powerfully.

  • Refine how you enter a room, speak with gravitas, and project authority. Voice modulation, posture, eye contact, and command are developed through live practice.


  • Learn how to engage an audience, land a message, and deliver with emotional precision. You’ll craft your keynote or core speech and begin rehearsals.

  • Master interviews, panels, and public scrutiny. Develop messaging discipline, bridging techniques, and strategies to remain poised under pressure.

  • Visibility in a crisis is a leadership test. Learn how to hold the line, speak with clarity, and preserve your reputation when the spotlight is hottest.

  • Identify the arenas where your voice belongs—stages, op-eds, media, boards. Build a strategic visibility map that positions you as a category leader.


  • Deliver your signature presentation—on camera, on stage, or in a simulated media setting. Receive live feedback, refinement, and walk away with a recorded keynote or media segment.


  • At a point in the program that best serves your growth, you’ll engage in a focused, private session to deepen your personal brand strategy and unlock hidden positioning opportunities.
