Michael Mooney - President - Farmers & Merchants Bank
Phil has provided objectivity to our strategic planning process that is invaluable in fairly assessing our strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities.

Phil earns the respect of our team by challenging the status quo, pushing us to identify strategic versus tactical plans, and being there thru implementation. Phil acts as a mentor and sanity check for many of our management team.

Working with Phil is like playing tennis against Andre Agassi, he keeps returning your ideas until you find your own solution and can hit a “winner”.

Neva McCormick - SVP, Manager Central Processing & Technology-
Farmers & Merchants Bank

My experience working with Phil Eastman has been extremely beneficial. For me, the tools he provides in every meeting prove to be advantageous in the everyday functions within my department. I have found that the meetings he leads for us progress timely, providing the guidance to keep us on task, and yet enable us to linger on subjects that come up that may be off the agenda. Phil enables and allows our team to progress in meetings through challenging times to arrive at positive solutions.

The materials, tools and training he provides are timely and appropriate for our bank, our community and our industry. A perfect example is the material he provided regarding change. I have used those tools numerous times in my department, especially in the current situation in the bank. However, I have utilized the tools in my personal life as well.

Phil Eastman has coached several of our departmental leadership teams, helping them to develop more effective communication patterns with each other, coaching them in developing planning and accountability structures, and managing group dynamics within the teams. He has been a key resource for me in supporting leadership growth and effectiveness within our Director group.

Sally Zive - Treasure Valley United Way Chairman

Sometimes our leadership responsibilities require that we supplement our own instincts, training, experience or wisdom. I think that it is unreasonable, in all the multidimensional roles we play, to assume we possess every skill required to lead organizations and people to success.

What a gift is someone easy and light to be with, and also well prepared to advise and counsel! Phil is an authentic leader…trustworthy and ethical in every way. He has a vast background of experience to draw upon with insights that have been of benefit to me personally and my organization. If I once thought that discussing challenging situations and seeking guidance might be some sign of weakness -- I don't any longer. With Phil, it doesn't feel like asking for help, but more like a kitchen table conversation with your friend that prepares, calms and strengthens. It's smart to collaborate in search of the best decisions - and Phil helps with discovery. Confidence in your judgment is the by-product that his participation provides - no matter how difficult the situation.
