Workshop & Teaching Testimonials
Hi Claude,
I wanted to first thank you again for hosting and participating in our workshop last Friday. Your incredible presentation truly reflects your passion and enthusiasm for entrepreneurial growth and people's success. I have participated in hundreds of workshops over my career, and rarely have I seen professionals with the ability to reach and connect with an audience the way you do. We are indeed blessed to have you as a partner in our program.
Thanks again for being the blessing that you are and to the many lives you touch.
Best,
Steve Arman, Director Micro-Business Program
Hey Dr. Kershner,
Thank you for this first semester of the Business Entrepreneurship course. You are very knowledgeable on the subject, and I learned some things I probably wouldn't have anywhere else. I will look forward to the spring semester to get back at it.
Thank you,
Jaime H. Silva, Entrepreneur

Hi Claude,
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your participation as a speaker at our workshop, "Building Your Business Plan," held at the Andreas Business School at Barry University in Miami Shores. Your presentation was truly exceptional and a testament to your natural talent and expertise in the business world. Your servant leadership qualities shone through and inspired all who attended. Your wisdom and guidance will undoubtedly contribute to the future success of those in attendance.

Hey Professor,
I really enjoy your teaching and coaching. I haven't had time to express this, but ever since I started the Intro to Entrepreneurship class almost a year ago, I was a completely different man than I am now. Being in your class encouraged me to think of ways to successfully create a business and aspire to be independent and financially free. The takeaway is that throughout this process, I always felt ready for any difficulties and challenges that have, and will, crossed my path because of you. I have been able to make progress and develop the entrepreneurial mindset that I have now, thanks to you, and whenever I truly find success and achieve my goals, I would like you to know you were a huge part of it. It would be very sad for me if this is the last time we see each other. Please update me on any other classes you teach or events you may attend. Thanks for everything, Professor; you've truly changed my life.
