Fadi Abu Zuhri’s Summary

I would like to extend the study and research with this rarely touched and very sensitive subject matter through my PhD research, where I want to investigate the implementation of Emotional Intelligence (EI) EQ / Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques in the Auditing practice. This is a very important and hot topic that was discussed very often in the last decade and is not covered scientifically in the auditing practice and literature despite its importance, criticality and advantages on making the role of auditing acceptable within the audited parties easier to do and very effective. I have a great experience conducting such research based on my long experience in the field of Security and Auditing, plus the attained credential in this field in addition to my personal interests lies around these topics, which as well will add a great value to my career.



My view of EQ,


The key to live in a life,
IS TO BE
NEITHER OPTIMISTIC NOR PESSIMISTIC


IT IS JUST,
HOW QUICKLY WE DRIVE
OURSELVES and/or OTHERS
FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER
