Be it relationship or workplace, being a good listener is one quality that is going to turn things in your favor.

How to not fall in traps of interrupting or tuning out and what practices you can incorporate in order to be a better and attentive listener yourself. It's Not That Complicated is a Self Help and Personal Development channel where we take broad complex topics out there and make it simple for you to understand and feel inspired to do something TODAY.
