Jo Brosnahan says that founding Leadership New Zealand is the highlight of her life.
She's been made a Dame Companion in this year's King's Birthday and Coronation Honours for services to governance and business.
Brosnahan founded Leadership New Zealand in 2003 and has been chair and director of a wide range of other organisations.
She says it's a special organisation with a growing network of people, and the things the leaders that come through it do are incredible.
