The Tour De France - Relationships and Success Interpersonal competence is one of the keys to personal and professional success that I discuss in my books. If you want to become interpersonally competent, you need to do three things. First, get to know yourself. Use this self knowledge to better understand others. Second, build strong, lasting, mutually beneficial relationships with the people in your life. Third, resolve conflict positively and with little disruption to your relationships.
If its July, then it's Tour de France time. For me, the Tour was more interesting this year, because Lance Armstrong was back in the saddle. I'm always amazed at the complexity of bike racing. It's a sport that requires amazing levels of fitness, the latest technology and high levels of teamwork.
