How to reassemble our resilience
When we only fix and perfect functional parts, every small malfunction can feel like an existential threat to the whole.
Relational awareness adds a new dimension to our individual skill sets: it lets us reshape the connections between fragmenting parts and hold the whole together. Our resilience is reassembled.
My book is free and can be read online.
Relational awareness applies beautifully across several disciplines:
-
In Systems Thinking & Engineering: It’s the difference between making a single component indestructible versus building a self-healing network. Resilience comes from the connections, not the individual pieces.
-
In Psychology & Relationships: When a person or a team focuses solely on "performing their function," a mistake feels like a total failure. Relational awareness allows room for grace, empathy, and collective recovery.
-
In Personal Well-being: If we view ourselves merely as a collection of functions (productivity, health, intellect), a dip in one area feels like an existential crisis. Recognizing our holistic, relational nature keeps us grounded even when one "function" is struggling.
We reassemble our resilience.
Relational awareness isn't taught — it's felt.

Hello, I hope you are well.
In the 1990s, while working as a business analyst, I explored how we could collaborate online by separating functional connectivity from face-to-face interaction. Later, I focused on training the relational aspects of face-to-face interaction for people who could connect only functionally. To bring greater attention to relational awareness, I wrote this book and created LifeSkills21.club.
