EXECUTIVE COACHING & LEADERSHIP TRAINING
Leadership Support Services has been a tremendous help to my Medical Practice. After a former business partnership dissolved and I started an independent practice, Mr. Gamble was hired to assist my business with the transition. His thoughts were insightful and realistic to implement, even in the midst of a building/staff transition. Mr. Gamble has offered both administrative coaching and presentations to my staff, both of which have produced results. I'd highly recommend Leadership Support Services for your professional needs. I will continue to utilize Mr. Gamble's services, periodically, and would encourage you to contact him as well.

*************************************
The Power of Personal Leadership, No Educator Left Behind: The Seven Laws of the Leader, and Speaking for a CHANGE are three presentations Jake Gamble facilitated that I had the opportunity to hear over the past four years. Not only have I gone away from Jake's presentations with learning tips and new thinking around leadership, I've also felt inspired by his "real world" experience and application. Jake's message"...there are no limits to what you can accomplish when you know who you are, what you want, and where you're headed" come to life in the real examples from his life and from the people he has coached or led in the classroom or in workshops. Corporate leadership would be well served by bringing Jake into their organizations or participating in one of his many workshops or public seminars.

Leadership Support Services is just what our company needed to get back on track. Mr. Gamble's approach to tearm-building was quickly embraced by management and staff, who had previously been struggling with morale. His suggestions were insightful and were realistic to implement. I'd recommend his services to any company going through a rough spot, or even if things are running smoothly. With Mr. Gamble's help we have increased both productivity and morale.

I had Jake do a 50 minute presentation at one of our Leadership Luncheons for the Wabash community on September 1, 2011. He spoke on Marcus Buckingham's book, "The One Thing You Need to Know About Great Managing, Great Leading, and Sustained Individual Success." Jake did a very good job summarizing the book since the book had so many great points to it. He highlighted his talk with a very well done power point presentation. We had good feedback from some of those in attendance.

BUSINESS PROFESSOR
Jake Gamble has proven himself capable of teaching a broad array of business courses. Grace College was pleased to rely on him in our prison extension where he was a fine teacher.

Grace College
********************************
Jake Gamble served as one of a very few main teachers for the Grace College Prison extension for five years. He was flexible, willing to teach at several maximum security prisons, and he was consistently admired by the men he taught. Grace offered a business degree and Jake taught many of the business courses. I have been in his class to see this first hand and have read hundreds of student evaluations that confirm this. This position ended only because the State of Indiana revoked the contracts with all six colleges.

************************************
As Director of Distant Education at Indiana Tech, it is my privilege to recommend to you a member of our teaching faculty, Mr. Emery (Jake) Gamble, and to write this letter on his behalf.
Jake has been teaching courses in our online (Introduction to Psychology) and Independent Study (Organizational Behavior) programs. His is one of our most popular and effective instructors. Reaction to Jake's performance has been overwhelmingly positive- so much so that more than once Jake shared with me his students' email messages thanking him for his dedication in teaching and his caring for students' academic advancement.
Jake is always punctual in following the administrative procedures and communicates in a timely manner. His cooperation with the distance education administration helps us maintain an efficient operation. Additionally, Jake never hesitates to share his ideas and observations with me. After he finished teaching the Introduction to Psychology course for the first time, Jake suggested refining the course. We accepted his suggestion and the course content, as well as its delivery, have been improved.
Although I'd like to see Jake devote fully to Indiana Tech's distance education course teaching, I do respect and support his desire to explore opportunities teaching at other colleges and universities. I am convinced that by expanding his teaching environment, he will gain much broader perspectives, and, in turn, will share his experience to help Indiana Tech assess and improve its distance education practice and operation.
I highly recommend Jake to be teaching faculty at your institution. Your students will greatly benefit from his instruction and interactions.

I just wanted to say, "Thank You!" Your class was a wonderful learning experience and I feel that I have learned a lot from you. I now feel more comfortable speaking in front of others that I do not know. You have given me the confidence to excel in this area of my education. And I fully believe that it is all contributed to the guidance and support that I received from you.
I enjoyed every minute of your class and wanted to let you know that I feel like you are an asset to the University.
Once again, "Thank You!"

************************************
Both Jake and I served as adjunct professors for Grace College, Winona Lake, IN in their Prison Degree program at both Miami Correctional Facility and Indiana State Prison. We both taught business courses to the prison population who were working toward either an Associate or a Bachelor's degree. I found Jake to be a very willing associate in providing insight and assistance to me in developing effective prospectuses for my courses when I began teaching in 2009. I was also impressed with my students comments concerning classes they had taken from Mr. Gamble. He was highly respected and regarded for the information he imparted to his students. I value his friendship, his depth of knowledge and his heart for teaching.

Jake is a very organized and enthusiastic business course teacher who is able to both focus on the fine details of running a business while at the same time visualizing the big picture. He knows his field well and his students greatly benefited from his wide variety of experience especially in the field of leadership.

*************************************
Jake is driven and ambitious and applies those characteristics to the classroom. His students are empowered to do their best because he expects the best from them. He applies the leadership skills that are necessary to encourage and motivate his students to become strong leaders and in turn, students learn what a great leader is by his example.
I am proud to recommend Jake for whatever new endeavor he is pursuing or for all the current ones he works hard to accomplish. I am in awe of his abilities. His entrepreneurship spirit and passion provides him with all that he needs to help others and organizations develop into great ethical leaders in their field.

**************************************
I have worked with Mr. Jake Gamble in a professional capacity for some five years. We taught together in the prison extension program for Grace College (Winona Lake, IN.), and then I was a Site Coordinator for one of those programs in which Mr. Gamble taught.
I can recommend Jake for his ability to teach a wide range of business classes with competence and consistency. He taught almost all of the business courses in our Bachelor's curriculum. He worked hard in preparation and delivery, and stayed current with research in his field. This instruction was often accomplished under less than ideal conditions. Interrupted timetables and inadequate equipment were common problems in prison education. He adapted to the challenges and got the job done.
Jake established a relationship of respect with the students. They appreciated his breadth of knowledge, ability to communicate, and commitment to them as men who had value and dignity.
Teaching is more than a job for Jake.
He will fit well into your business education program.
