SO THEY CAN BUILD
THEIR LIFE. THEIR WAY.
Be yourself.
Who We Are
Video coming soonOur Founder's Story
He was House Captain, played soccer for NSW, had the lead role in the school musical and excelled in class. Then in Year 12 his world sped up — becoming complex and uncertain. Family events piled up, and he developed a panic disorder.
He would drive to school, have a panic attack in the carpark, drive home, lick his wounds and try again next week. Eventually he was told to come back next year. He repeated twice and graduated high school at 20.
After high school: airline pilot licence, a Master of Science & Technology, and an MBA at one of the country's leading schools.
He worked as a pilot and flight instructor, designed decision-making courses for pilots, became Chief Strategy Officer of one of Australia's largest pilot schools, consulted to some of Australia's largest organisations, and designed and facilitated training programs at a leading MBA school.
...and now he has built Through The Noise.
The workshops translate frameworks from Luca's pilot and strategy background into simple ball games for younger audiences — helping students come to terms with a fast-moving world, re-engage, and start to build Their Life. Their Way. — like he did.
“I try to use my high school experience to cut Through The Noise and reach the kids — so that they can cut Through The Noise to achieve success, however they define it.”
Why We Do It
Our young people see that the world has changed drastically, and the way we prepare them for it hasn't. The world they will live in is faster, more complex and more uncertain than the one the curriculum assumes.
To thrive in a fast world, we must Learn Fast. Adapt Fast. Be Resilient. Be Ourselves. In the absence of these competencies, the pace of change can trigger an anxious “fight or flight” response — and many young people have elected to withdraw.
Thriving in a fast-world requires a set of lessons, not a personality type.
They just aren't lessons schools currently teach. That's the gap we fill.
The Workshops
Students learn a new way of seeing themselves and the world around them. The workshop takes them on a journey to debunk myths in their current belief system and embed the mindsets and mental models that will fuel their bright futures.
Adapted from decision-making frameworks used to train pilots, and strategy frameworks used to train executives — translated into exercises young people can immediately apply to their present and their futures — to build their life their way.
How to design a life that bends instead of breaking — so a change of plan isn't a collapse. Young people value flexibility, choice and authentic self-expression. This workshop is about keeping all three as life gets more complex.

FAQ
We run workshops for young people across a wide range of ages and organisations. Schools currently book us most for Years 9 to 12, with a strong fit for Year 11 Life Ready programs. However, the content adapts naturally to other settings and age groups too — universities, TAFE, workplace programs, and even school classes as young as Year 5.
The workshops are highly interactive — participants spend most of their time in hands-on exercises, whether that's ball games, debates, or group problem-solving using sticky notes and canvases.
