I have seen it with my own eyes. People from all different backgrounds coming together for the purpose of learning how to make more money in the businesses that they own. Most come because they are stuck, frustrated, scared, and slaves to their business. Howard Partridge gives them the skills and knowledge they need to turn their businesses around. But skills and knowledge are not the game changer. The Power of Community is the game changer. People sharing the wins and losses, the tears and the triumphs, praying and crying together about everything great and difficult about business and life. At the end of the day we need to be surrounded by people who tell us that we have what it takes and that what we do matters. We have a choice. We can go through life doing the best we can with what we have. Or we can grow through life side by side with our family, friends, and team members. Yes, The Power of Community is a choice. Choose to read and apply this book and it will change your life.

Todays most effective business leaders understand that when those they lead feel (and are!) truly valued, they are happier, more loyal, and more productive. And few things will inspire this more than the feeling of belonging to something special; in others words, an environment of community. In this book, the author, Howard Partridge, who has built a sustainably successful company based on these very principles, does an excellent job of teaching us how we can do the same.

Howards new book, The Power of Community, addresses one of the most important but often neglected areas in the business world. The principles and concepts he writes about are applicable to anyone interested in having better relationships and experiencing genuine community and true success not only in business but in every area of life.

In addition to being a master communicator, team builder, business coach, and consultant, Howard has a proven track record of using these lessons to build several companies. He shares from a wealth of personal experience but is also a diligent learner from many other successful leaders. I highly recommend his book to anyone who wants to grow and improve in these areas.

We wander around our city streets, airports, coffeehouses, schools, and businesses with our heads down, transfixed by our phones. We are substituting likes for genuine human connection. Instead of conversing, debating, and persuading, we post wordy, ineffective rants on social media. We are virtually connected to more people than ever, and though the Internet has had a positive, world-flattening effect, it feels like we are becoming more and more isolated. And, for so many, less hopeful. So, thank you, Howard Partridge, for your inspiring and elegantly practical book. Howard suggests that our longing for belonging can be satisfied by creating healthy communities. That resonates, right? Even better, Howard shares exactly HOW to do that, with simple systems, the right questions, and a whole lotta love. Looking for better relationships with your family, friends, team members, and customers? Read on! BONUS: Turns out a flourishing community is very, very good for your businesss bottom line, too.
