Every human being craves belonging, we all want to feel loved, we all want to feel accepted and we all want to feel validated. We are more digitally connected than ever before, yet we seem to feel more isolated and lonely. I will show you how to harness the power of real, true community in your life and in your business. Howard Partridge is an international business coach with coaching members in over 100 industries in 9 countries. He is the bestselling author of seven books, the exclusive business coach for Zig Ziglar Corporation, the world's first Ziglar Legacy Trainer and a DISC-certified human behavior expert.

Howard grew up on welfare in Mobile, Alabama and left home at 18. He arrived in Houston, Texas on a Greyhound bus with only 25 cents in his pocket. He started his first business out of the trunk of his car over 33 years ago and built it into a multimillion-dollar company. In total, he owned 9 small businesses and, at the time of this article, 4 corporations.

He is president of Phenomenal Products, Inc., which helps leaders and business owners inspire their teams with the power of community.

Howard's forthcoming book from McGraw-Hill, The Power of Community, promises to be a game-changer for any organization that implements the simple concept of creating a sense of community within their organization. This talk was delivered at a TEDx event in the TED conference format, but was organized independently by a local community. For more information, visit https://www.ted.com/tedx
