Recorded on 1st March 2024, Dame Neslyn Watson-Druée was awarded a Dame Commander of The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (DBE) for services to Women and to Ethnic Minorities in the King's 2023 Birthday Honours List. She has been recognised for making significant contributions in the fields of leadership, personal and career development for staff in the public, private and third sectors through voluntary organisations, local government, banking and commerce.

She said: "Over the years I have grown into a leader, a pioneer nurse, entrepreneur, a business angel for the ethnic minority community Premier executive coach for his majesty’s government. I have had the honour of spending over 40 years empowering and developing women and people of colour to release their creativity, vision, intelligence and to stand in their power.
