About Tribe
Work. Make. Share
Welcome to Tribe. A community of individuals working together so each of us can thrive. Because we believe work should be meaningful, we bring good people together to do good things.
Welcome to a new way of working. Where we don’t concentrate on the what but the why. Helping you to reimagine your working life where work supports your aspirations and happiness can grow.
Welcome to finding your worth. A vibrant space to connect, a peaceful space to be calm, both online and offline, in the building and out in the community. Where you can practice yoga headstands at lunchtime, or stroke the wagging tails at your feet.
Welcome to the best version of you. Somewhere you can be yourself, make mistakes and have fun. Where you can always find good advice and ask for help, from all of us.
Welcome to Tribe. Now, let’s make good things happen.
Danielle Trudeau
Founding Director
Dani Trudeau believes that we want our work to contribute to our lives, not take away joy or valuable time from what we really want to do. Having started her first enterprise at the age of 14 and her first company at 25, Dani is infinitely curious about what makes a good business- and businesses for good. Dani’s working experience is in education, health and social care and she has worked throughout the UK and America in the field of behavioural science. Dani founded Tribe Porty in 2015 and more recently in 2018, founded Keystone, a community for enterprising women who want to reimagine their working lives. Here is Dani’s Creative Mornings Edinburgh talk about her journey creating Tribe Porty and Keystone.
