Flory Alys Bonaert · Leadership Consultant

Lead from a fabulous place.
Work from a brave one.

FAB is a holistic practice for leaders who want their work to grow communities not just careers. Community building, group facilitation, and behavioural coaching, all in service of one thing: leadership that makes the room around you better.

FAB is the short of Flory · Alys · Bonaert and an invitation: that what looks fabulous on the outside is built, quietly and on purpose, on five inner directions.

The Three Pillars

Three ways to work together

Different ways, one message: Showing up fabulous at the level of the person, the team, and the community you belong to.

01
Community Consultant
"Engagement isn't a metric. It's an architecture you can actually design."
Community Consultant

Designing community where people actually show up.

I help organizations build community as a deliberate craft not a side project. We diagnose where engagement is leaking, map your community's anatomy, then design and run the formats that bring it back to life. Design sprints, hackathons, kickoff weeks, member journeys, onboarding launches and the quieter architecture behind them: engagement, roles, rituals, feedback loops.

Built for

  • Founders building member, alumni or partner networks
  • People & Culture teams reviving internal community, onboarding days
  • Programmes scaling past the "everyone knows everyone" stage

You walk away with

  • An engagement diagnostic: what's working, what's drifting
  • A clear community architecture: 3Rs: rituals, roles, rhythm
  • Live programme facilitation (sprint, hackathon, summit)


02
Retreats & Facilitation
"Resetting does not mean starting over, it means allowing new perspectives to shine through."
Facilitation · Customised Retreats

Custom retreats and team sessions for people who want real shifts.

I design and facilitate retreats and offsites for leadership teams and groups fully custom, never templated. What's different about how I hold a room: a behavioural-science backbone with communication techniques woven together with somatic practices: yoga, meditation, breathwork, embodied dialogue. The result is sessions where the reflections are  more insightful because the nervous systems in the room are calmer to stay in the body longer. 

Built for

  • Leadership teams at connection, relationship inflection points
  • Founders & cohorts wanting to belong together rather than just work together. 
  • Groups carrying tension that words alone can't move

You walk away with

  • Decisions that hold  because the team made them, body and mind
  • Shared language and shared regulation, new behaviours 
  • A team that knows how to come back to itself under pressure 


03
1:1 Coaching
"You can only shine when understanding your core."
Coaching · Holistic Leadership

1:1 coaching for leaders growing their full self not just their career. 

A six to twelve week container for you. Behavioural and somatic coaching virtually. We work with how you operate, the patterns underneath, and the version of you the next chapter of your full life is asking for. Direct, warm, and uninterested in ego. 

Built for

  • Founders & leaders in transition
  • Professionals carrying more than they're putting down
  • People choosing holistic growth over linear performance

You walk away with

  • Sharper self-awareness, cleaner decisions
  • A repaired relationship with your own energy
  • A leadership style that actually feels like you

My Story

The path that led here.

I'm an Engagement & Community expert who's spent the last decade learning, in six different countries, what it actually takes to make communities feel alive.

The path looks tidier in hindsight than it felt at the time. A Bachelor in Hospitality Management taught me that hosting people well is its own discipline. A Master in International Marketing taught me how stories move groups. Years across international Sales, Marketing and HR in lean, fast-moving, multi-cultural teams taught me the rest: that diverse rooms generate the best ideas when someone's deliberately holding the conditions, and that engagement isn't a metric you chase, it's an architecture you build.

Living and working in six countries diversified my perspectives. Whether the room was a sales kickoff, a leadership offsite, an HR redesign or a founders' forum, the same pattern kept showing up: communities thrive when their humans are well body, mind, energy and presence. That insight is what FAB is built on.

"To change the world, focus your energy on developing new ways to empower holistic well-being and team development and ultimately strengthen the future of communities."

Today I work globally with founders, change-makers, leadership teams and people in functions building cultures around them. The toolkit keeps growing, because the work asks for it. The north star doesn't move: brave leadership leads to fabulous communities.
