Relational awareness training
Return to your teams with the relational awareness to play your part in sustaining whole-system resilience.
With all attention on making everything function as expected, each function mastered builds confidence that nothing will go wrong—until one part fails and the whole fragments. When systemic fragmentation stems from broken relationships between functions, improving individual functions misses the point. A better approach is to develop the relational awareness to process how functions relate as a whole. To relax into alert connection and enjoy a dance of anticipation, confident that we can handle whatever comes next.
Welcome. I hope you’re well. My name is Jon Thorne, and I spent the first part of my career separating functional and relational thinking from human connection. In the second, I focused on bringing the relational back to the functional. My book explains why meaningful connection cannot come from focusing only on how things function. That may be enough for some people, but I’m writing for those who want something more.

What players and parents think
We went to the most amazing basketball session in Hemel at Longdean school. My son is autistic and has ADHD he struggles to follow instruction and is extremely demand avoidant. This session took all the barriers away for my son and he had the most amazing time, his words “I loved it”. Well worth checking out
A young player - "I like Jon’s sessions because instead of telling us what to do we all just work it out ourselves"
A parent - "It’s refreshing to see someone run a sports session with a focus on kindness and flexibility instead of adherence to set patterns based on traditional ways of learning. We have always been made to feel welcome and encouraged to participate and my children gain confidence by being part of something that requires teamwork. As an observer, I enjoy seeing the players thinking about not just themselves but the whole team. It’s not about just playing ball, it’s about creative thinking, consideration of others and teamwork"
