After 10 years of growth there, while only in his mid-thirties, James made a risky move and left Synovus for the opportunity to become President of River City Bank, a private start-up enterprise he and his team founded in 2007 in Carrollton, Georgia.
In today’s episode of Small-Time Leaders, James shares with us the analytical and research skills he learned while participating in the debate club led by Richard Bracknell.

James tells us how those lessons of strong engagement and collaboration are essential practices in his business today as well.

In today’s episode of Small-Time Leaders, James shares with us lessons he learned from his father, James Gill Senior. James Sr. set an example for him and his sister by demonstrating to them that no matter where you come from, as long as you have continuous education and effective mentorship you can achieve everything in life. James’s father talks about lessons he learned from amazing leaders such as Jimmy Blanchard, and Bobby Bowden. He also led an independent bank as the President, accumulating millions in assets, years after he started a part-time job at the bank as a vault penny counter. 
After several years of leading the enterprise to be profitable and set up for future success.  James left River City for a more public-facing position.  Today he is the Vice President for Economic Development and Community Communications for a leading utility company headquartered in Carrolton.

David Glickman has been a professional speaker and entertainer for over twenty years and has presented over 2,000 programs. Before transitioning from “show business” to “speech business,” he worked with everyone from The Beach Boys to Steve Martin and appeared on “Evening At The Improv” and several other national television shows.
In today’s episode of Small-Time Leaders, David shares with us how his journey of writing started as his grandma’s ghostwriter. Grandma Rose had picked up on special creativity David had early on and pushed him to customize poems and rhymes on special occasions. This experience not only helped David learn the art of writing but has helped him extremely in his professional speaking career.
In the late 1990s, David moved full-time into professional speaking. He specializes in customized workplace humor and is able to “find what’s funny” in the many healthcare organizations to whom he has spoken. In 2011, David received the Certified Speaking Professional designation. This is the highest earned designation awarded by the National Speakers Association, achieved by less than 10% of professional speakers.  David was also awarded the Council of Peers Award for Excellence (CPAE) and inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame. This is a lifetime award for speaking excellence and professionalism.
