Believe in Your Value.
Find Belonging.
Be Different.

Connecting with women can be complicated. Finding a female tribe that supports and appreciates each other for a lifetime? Well, that can feel impossible. But we need a tribe to live our best lives. In fact, research tells us that we live longer, healthier, and happier lives when we connect with other women. We need these relationships, and we want them to last—so where do we start?

In Assemble the Tribe,  Leah JM Dean shares her simple yet powerful formula for building a tribe that stands the test of time. She also shows you how to shift to a tribe mindset by first discovering the value that you bring to every connection you make.

With time-tested research, educated insight, and true stories from Leah’s own tribes, you’ll learn how to find your tribes and thrive while making an impact. This book provides you with the first step toward positive change—for yourself, your tribes, and the generations who will follow in your footsteps.

Hi there! 

I’m Leah.

Like so many women today, I always wanted to have a crew, a group, a tribe. However, from a young age, like so many women, finding my Tribe was difficult. That challenge deeply shaped the path I took in my life and career.

As a former HR Executive and the founder of Conduit International Ltd., I’ve spent over 20 years helping organizations, leaders, and women around the world and across industries unleash their potential to build more inclusive cultures where people experience belonging while achieving exceptional results. 

Assemble the Tribe shares the science, stories, and insights I discovered while doing proprietary group research with over 1200 women to help my audiences and clients confidently navigate life and leadership with authenticity, courage, and heart.

But more than that, it’s my own story of redefining and rediscovering the power of Tribe to find true connection, belonging and impact.
