About Us
At People First Co, we believe people are the foundation of every high-performing organisation. We empower teams to thrive by creating tailored solutions that strengthen culture, develop leadership, navigate change, focus on health, and drive sustainable performance.
​
Drawing on leadership expertise, evidence-based strategies, and real-world experience from elite sport, we help teams work with clarity, connection, collaboration, and trust — building cultures where people thrive, leaders inspire, and teams consistently deliver their best.
​
We also recognise that high performance requires more than just skills and systems, it relies on people being physically and mentally prepared to show up as their best selves. That’s why our approach integrates practical health strategies alongside leadership and culture initiatives, giving teams the tools they need to sustain performance, adapt to change, and thrive under pressure.
​
People First Co is led by Nat von Bertouch, former Australian Diamonds captain, experienced business leader, and accredited dietitian. With over 20 years of experience across business, education, elite sport, and health, Nat brings a unique depth of knowledge to help organisations and their people perform at their best.
