Welcome to the Tribe!

I’m so glad you’re here. Whether this is your first visit or you’ve been following my work for a while, welcome to this space of reflection, storytelling, and connection. These musings are where I share insights from my journey—sometimes in writing, sometimes through video or audio.
Each post is a timeless reflection, rooted in the things I care deeply about: leadership, relationships, working in ways that don’t deplete us, living well, faith, and the everyday moments that shape our lives. You might find a personal story, a lesson from my work, or a fresh perspective sparked by a conversation or something I’ve read. However they take shape, I hope they offer you something meaningful for your life and leadership journey.
If we haven’t met, I’m Leah J M Dean.
I’m an advisor, 2x author, coach, speaker, and founder & CEO of Conduit International Ltd. After more than 20 years in the corporate world, I stepped into a new season—one that allowed me to turn my walk into words and experience into encouragement. Through my advisory work, speaking, coaching, writing, events, and resources, I create spaces that help people work smarter and live well—strengthening relationships at every stage of life and leadership.
In this space, I also draw from my books—Assemble the Tribe and Be Different—to reflect on how we find our people, keep them close, and live love in real, everyday ways. Whether you're navigating transition, healing from relational pain, leading through influence, or simply craving a more intentional life, you're in the right place.
Thank you for spending time with me here. I hope something in these musings speaks to your heart, strengthens your leadership, or simply reminds you that you’re not alone. And if something resonates, leave a comment and share it.
What’s one area of life or leadership you’re hoping to approach with more intention right now?
Let’s grow together—one story at a time.
With gratitude,
