CELEBRATE 2024
As we draw near to the close of another year, we want to take a moment to express our gratitude for your continued trust and partnership. This year has been one of significant milestones and achievements, made possible by your unwavering support. We are proud of the progress we’ve made together and excited about the future possibilities. The theme for this letter is celebration.
In our industry, we often focus on celebrating our clients and their teams, highlighting their achievements and milestones. It’s our commitment to their success that drives what we do.
While our core purpose remains steadfast, FAB Consulting is proudly celebrating 20 years in business this year. In honour of this milestone, we’d like to take a moment to reflect on some of our key achievements and share the highlights of our journey over the past year.
Following, a few key moments, beautifully captured by Charnel.
20-year Anniversary
As we celebrate 20 years in business, we reflect on the incredible journey of growth, collaboration, and dedication that has brought us to where we are today. The foundation of our success has always been our people – our talented team members, our clients, and the relationships we’ve built along the way. Over the past two decades, we’ve stayed true to our commitment to putting people first, creating an environment where both our employees and clients can thrive. It’s this people-centric approach that has allowed us to deliver. As we look to the future, we remain focused on continuing to grow, adapt, and exceed the expectations of those we serve, while staying grounded in the values that have made us who we are today.
Our Founder – Chrizelda Walters
Chrizelda is a force for good. Her reputation for being an innovative and creative professional, with a deep zest for people and life is echoed by all who have been in contact with her.
Her ability to view situations with clarity, bringing a unique balance of empathy and critical thinking to the decision-making process is the key in helping organisations tap into the potential of their most asset – their people.
We celebrate with Chrizelda as she has recently completed a new certification: Professional Certified Coach (PCC) from International Coaching Federation.

Congratulations to Chrizelda and we celebrate you!
Workshops
A recent workshop with a long-standing client in the transport industry is a prime example. Our client was heading into their busiest season during the latter part of this year, and we ran a workshop themed “Laat die wiele rol” (get the wheels turning). The idea we wanted to emphasise was the interdependency between various departments and how reliant they all are on each other, especially when it’s crunch time.
The idea for the workshop was inspired by puzzle pieces and we created large puzzle pieces that would fit together to form the name of the company. The team members had to match the puzzle pieces to form the individual letters and then figure out what it spelled. In a business context this means that the main functional areas of a business need each other in order to carry out their own responsibilities, and for the business to operate effectively.
What made this workshop for 2024, extra special is that we also celebrate a 11-year relationship with this special company and its people.
Our People
We celebrate our people. Our staff and our service providers as without them, we cannot do what we do and continue to live the FAB philosophy.
Michael, our co-founder, who ensures we all stay organised and focused and keeps us on our toes.
Jenny, recently engaged, is excitedly planning her wedding and preparing for the next chapter in her life. We send our best wishes to her and Christo as they embark on this beautiful journey together.
Milena, who masterfully balances motherhood with her dedication to FAB Consulting, recently shared some wonderful news: her son was named the youngest U7A Valuable Player of the Year at his soccer club.
