The University of Central Oklahoma’s LX Studio is launching Leading at Work, an 11-session, lunchtime webinar series designed to help professionals strengthen practical leadership skills for the modern workplace.

Leading at Work is designed for mid-career professionals who are leveling up in the workplace, including new and aspiring managers, team leads, project leads and anyone seeking greater influence and effectiveness on the job. Each 45-minute session provides frameworks and real-world strategies participants can apply immediately.

All sessions will be live from noon to 12:45 p.m. via Zoom every other Thursday, Feb. 26 through July 16. Participants can earn a micro-credential for each session by completing the requirements for that workshop.

“Our Leading at Work series is a quick and affordable way to meet emerging leaders where they are as they build the skills they often don't realize they need until they’re asked to use them,” said Trevor Cox, Ph.D., director of learning innovation at LX Studio.

“They are timely workforce skills that benefit anyone trying to build their capacity to lead.”
