The Kershner Lab
🧪 THE KERSHNER LAB
Evidence-based tools, curated resources, and field-tested frameworks for leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, and students.
This is not a blog. Not a sales pitch. The Lab is where the research behind the show becomes something you can actually use — instruments to know yourself better, frameworks to lead with more clarity, and the reading and listening that shapes how Dr. Kershner thinks.

🧫 The Experiment Log
What Dr. K is currently testing, reading, and recommending — updated quarterly.
Currently reading: Antifragile by Nassim Taleb — applying the concept of systems that grow stronger under stress to how we build leadership capacity in organizations facing AI disruption.
Currently testing: The Working Genius assessment with executive coaching clients — early results suggest it’s the most actionable team-dynamics instrument available right now. Report coming to the show.
Currently recommending: The WorkLab podcast by Microsoft — if you lead people and you’re not thinking about AI in the workplace, this closes that gap fast.
The Lab exists because Dr. Kershner believes evidence-based tools should be accessible to every leader and entrepreneur — not locked behind a corporate training budget.
Every framework in the Lab has been classroom-tested at Miami Dade College, field-tested in live workshops, and refined through real conversations with real leaders. Nothing here is theoretical for its own sake.
