Voice, Value & Visibility: Positioning Yourself with Confidence in the Workplace

You already have the experience. This workshop helps you find the words.

In this 3-hour interactive workshop, you'll clarify your professional identity, learn how to translate your lived experience into language that resonates in professional spaces, and build practical tools for self-advocacy — from polished resumes to confident workplace conversations.

You'll leave with:

• A clear sense of your core values and how to communicate them professionally

• Impact-driven language for your resume, interviews, and everyday work conversations

• Tools for navigating workplace conflict and advocating for yourself with confidence

• A personal positioning statement that reflects your strengths, values, and goals

About OutWorks CNY

LGBTQ+ people in Central New York are talented, resilient, and resourceful. And like anyone, they deserve access to career development spaces that don't ask them to minimize who they are to get ahead.

OutWorks CNY is a free community initiative from Come Out Central New York designed to meet that need. Through a series of practical, inclusive, and affirming events, OutWorks CNY connects LGBTQ+ individuals with the career tools, employer connections, financial planning resources, and peer mentorship that support real growth — on their own terms.

All events are free to attend and designed to be welcoming, accessible, and community-centered. No experience level required. No need to code-switch at the door.

This project made possible with funding from the Central New York Community Foundation.
