Hey survivors and frivers, I have a playlist of videos called The Narcissist and Envy where I have talked about this before but I haven't talked about it for a while so I would like to discuss it more in this video. What I discussed in this video could also be applied to gangstalkers as I do believe that they are narcissistic at the very least. Please like, comment, share and subscribe. If you would like to donate, my paypal link is in the video description. If you are interested in one-on-one coaching, you can email me at Narcissivercoaching at gmail.com. We have a Reddit community where survivors and frivers can share their experiences and knowledge.

Check out the Narcissiver merchandise store where you can purchase your own Narcissiver t-shirt or mug. The link to our Teespring page is in the video description. Narciss are envious. This is the root cause of why they do what they do. Envy is the core emotion which is fueling them to act and behave in this way. They look at your qualities, talents and traits and compare them to theirs. If your lifestyle is superior, more desirable relationship partners, more money, better material items, past experiences where they wish that was them rather than you, they compare all of this to their own lives. They then experience a feeling of lack as though they will never possess the qualities, talents or traits which you possess. They will never have that lifestyle or desirable relationship partners, they will never have that amount of money or they will never experience what you have experienced. They are pathologically envious. They observe everything that is going on in your life and then accept that none of that will ever happen for them. In their minds, they have accepted that they will never have what you had in that moment and they will never get what you got in that moment. They compare what they have with what you have and that's what triggers them to experience this emotion as well as envy. They will also experience self-hatred, anger and maybe jealousy. They have a desire to possess what you possess. They have a desire to take it away from you or destroy it completely. Envious narcissists will only try to take away or destroy something which they perceive to be valuable. This could be seen in children where they will begin to act out or have tantrums because they are envious of the other child. If you look at narcissists, this is exactly what they are doing. Whether it's overt aggression or covert passive aggressive behaviour, this all comes from their pathological envy. It creates this irresistible urge within them, overwhelming and uncontrollable where they have to do something to have some relief. If you imagine a bottle of Coca-Cola, before the narcissist witnesses something that might make them envious, they are like an unshaken bottle of Coca-Cola but as they witness something which they believe to have a sense of superiority to them, whether it's a certain quality of yours or your relationship or they become aware of a certain experience you have had, suddenly there is this continuous physical force exerted within the narcissist. The bottle of Coca-Cola begins to bubble. The narcissist then reflects on their own self-hatred and how they feel that they will never possess that quality, have that desirable relationship partner or experience what you have experienced and that's when the bottle of Coca-Cola suddenly pops. They become overtly aggressive or covertly passive aggressive towards you. They have to do something to deal with the intense emotions that they are experiencing upon witnessing whatever it is that has made them envious of you. This is unconscious behaviour. They are not aware of how or why they are responding in this way to you but it does affect their emotions, actions and behaviours. It's done almost without them realising. They do not reflect on their emotions for long periods of time, that would be far too painful for them to deal with. This is why they always need a target or source of supply, someone who they can abuse and dump all of their negativity on. They do not reflect on their envy and self-hatred for long as it's far too painful for them. So their way of dealing with this is to devalue the target or source of supply. It is their envy and self-hatred which drives them to devalue you. They have to reduce or underestimate your worth or importance. You now in their minds, you are completely worthless.  They want you to feel shame and embarrassment by injuring your dignity and pride.  They will make you feel as though you are worthless and insignificant, inferior and unwanted. You may be left completely alone and isolated. This is what they have to do, to deal with their feelings of envy and self-hatred.  It was a projection of their own self-hatred. They don't reflect on their emotions as it is too painful for them, so their way of dealing with this is to project it onto you.  This is where they will bait you into certain situations to entice you, attract or tempt you by offering pleasure or advantage, tease you through persistent, irritating or provoking. This is them projecting their envy onto you. They are training you to feel the very emotions that they feel.  They are envious of you, so they are trying to attract, tempt or tease you to project their envy onto you. They could be envious of anything, your happiness and contentment, your qualities, talents and traits, your lifestyle, relationship partners, money or material items, past experiences, usually whatever they are envious of, they will display to you, so they might start acting as though they are happy, they might mirror you and take on your qualities, talents or traits, they might try to mimic your lifestyle, they might display their relationship partner, money or material items to you, or they might try to imitate something that you have experienced in the past. All of these things that they are displaying to you is what they are envious of.  They are using you to regulate their feelings of envy and self-hatred, all of these things that they are saying about you, the way that they are treating you, it has nothing to do with you personally, they think you're better than them, that's why they have to devalue and degrade you, publicly humiliate and exploit you, they are trying to bring you down to their level, they are driven by envy and self-hatred, they will never resolve their feelings of envy and self-hatred, instead, like parasites, they will feed off you and be dependent on you like a drug, to regulate their painful negative emotions, this is why they cannot leave you alone for long, because while they are away from you, they begin to reflect on their envy and self-hatred, they need unlimited access to you, so that you are always there for them to reject their envy and self-hatred on, this video should be very empowering for you, it should help to improve your self-esteem and give you more control over your life, I have spoke to many people who have experienced mere campaigns and gang-stalking, they are very beautiful people who are naturally happy and contented, they had a lot going on in their lives before these people got involved, these fly monkeys and gang-stalkers have this obsessive compulsive need to sabotage their lives, destroying everything good about them, leaving them alone and isolated to assume that something is wrong with them, I have spoken to many of these targets and I can assure you that there is nothing wrong with you and everything wrong with the people that are obsessively harassing and stalking you, trying to get your attention or trying to get you to react to them, this is their way of regulating their feelings of envy and self-hatred, the fact that you are the target of a smear campaign or gang-stalking should tell you that you are a really amazing person, these people wouldn't go out of their way for nothing, where would the satisfaction be in devaluing a person who they already believed to be below them, they are trying to bring you down to their level to make them feel more comfortable around you, rebuild your life, rebuild everything that these people destroyed, I recommend leaving the environment if you are the target of a smear campaign or gang-stalking, these people never change, they only get worse, but you can move on and live a happy and fulfilling life, you can be yourself in a place where you will be appreciated rather than envied or hated, you deserve to be happy, you deserve to be free and you have all of the qualities and capabilities you need to make this a reality, don't let these people weigh you down or hold you back from being the person that you were meant to be, they are using their abilities to weigh you down rather than to improve their own lives because they believe that they are not good enough, but you understand that you are good enough, you do possess the qualities and capabilities you need to make a happy and fulfilling life your reality, which is why you don't focus on them, you do not resonate with hate or negativity, you resonate with love and positivity, continue to love, continue to be positive, together we will heal and grow and become the best versions of ourselves, thank you for watching, you could be watching or doing anything else right now, but you are watching this because it resonates with something you have experienced at some point in your life, I hope that this video has helped you to understand more about it, please like, comment, share and subscribe, if you would like to donate, my paypal link is in the video description, coaching enquiries, you can email me at narksurvivercoaching at gmail.com, check out our Reddit community and nark survivor merchandise store, the links are in the video description, thanks for watching and I will talk to you soon.


Project management is increasingly benefiting from the use of artificial intelligence, AI, techniques. This paper reviews the literature on AI-enabled project management and finds that the number of papers published on the topic has grown significantly over the past decade. It also shows that AI can be used to improve the planning, measurement, and uncertainty performance domains of project management. Machine learning, ML, is particularly useful for providing forecasting and decision-making capabilities.

Old Dutch Clenter famous for chasing dirt present Nick Carter famous for chasing crime Every week at this time two great names are joined as Old Dutch Clenter brings you one of the most resourceful and daring characters in all detective fiction Nick Carter master detective Nick how do you know it couldn't have been to your side the evidence shows it pat see but the windows were locked on the inside No one went through the door if it was murder. How was it done the same evidence pat see the bottle tells how and why it was murder Now for the case of the crystal prophecy today's adventure with Nick Carter brought to you by Old Dutch cleanser Our story begins in Nick's office about 10 o'clock one bright sunny spring morning Well, I'll be darned. What is it pat see? Nick I'm following the latest records on suicides and they show that during the past six weeks Four women have committed suicide. Oh, it's a curious about that Well, each of these women was in her middle 30s each was a widow with quite a bit of money And in each case the police couldn't find a single clue to the reason for the suicides When was the last one night before last? Mrs. Doris Manson Nick don't you think there might be some connection between these suicides? Maybe Certainly looks like a lot of coincidence if there isn't that's what I thought Are we going to do anything about it? We are they're going to finish the report I'm working on and then we're going down to talk to Maddie about this this epidemic of suicides Good afternoon, I'm I hope I'm not late. Please don't enter. I You are expected. I Get more excited every time I come here. Is Rashid Elbey ready to receive me? Please to sit there. I go tell master. Thank you Good afternoon, Mrs. Langdon did well that you arrived. Oh, I couldn't be late to see you master I do so want to hear more and what you have heard has pleased you. Oh, yes Everything has happened just as you said it would just after I left you the other day I dropped my purse and a man picked it up for me It was a man named Robert winter. Just as you said it would be this Robert winter. He pleased you. Oh, yes He's a perfect gentleman and so handsome. I Think that he's romantically inclined and I thought I understand madam pleased to draw near and look into the crystal Do not allow your attention to wander for an instant. Oh Ball of ever-knowing light Bring to your surface the truth about Robert winter and Martha Langdon Make the future clear that we may read it The ball begins to clear a picture is forming. I see I see No, it cannot be oh ball of crystal. Are you sure? What's the matter Elbey? I'm sorry madam. I cannot tell you what the crystal ball has shown to be the future for you It is better that you remain in ignorance. No There's anything bad. I'd demand it to tell me The crystal ball shows madam that you will shortly take your own life But that's absurd. I have no reason to do away with myself. I am sorry I am only the instrument through which the pictures are made clear But now that I know about it, isn't there any way the future can be changed? It is difficult madam very difficult Do anything anything can't you help me? It is possible madam. Oh It is a long and difficult process It will mean that I must deny myself to all my other disciples much time will be lost much Mummy will be lost. Oh, I have money I'll give you money to take a great deal of money madam I shall have to devote all my time to watching over you until a dangerous past. How much would that be? It would be one hundred thousand dollars. Oh No, I I can't pay that much. It is well known that madam wears pearls worth that amount Give up my pearl pearls mean nothing madam when the owner is dead No, I Have enough willpower to keep from killing myself And if necessary I can hire somebody to watch me day and night for much less than a hundred thousand dollars as you wish madam But it would not be I won't pay that much to anybody for something. I should be able to do myself No, thank you as you please madam Good day, and may I wish you everything that fortune will bring you You know as well as I do Nick that suicides run in waves I know I know that's true Maddie, but it seems to me that there's too much coincidence in these four each of them It's too much like the other all that's crazy Nick the first one drove her car off a cliff The next jumped off a building the third fixed herself up in a closed garage with a car motor running And this last one jumps in front of a subway train But Maddie did you notice that each of these suicides was a woman in her middle 30s a widow and that each had a considerable amount of money? Sure, sure, I know all that but once it proved now look Nick my squad investigated every one of these depths And we didn't find anything but suicide. Okay, Maddie. Okay. Oh Nick You're getting all hot and bothered about something. It's just a coincidence and that's all Hello Martha my dear I hurried over as soon as I got your phone call. What's wrong? It's Rashid L Bay He told me the most awful thing really. I've known him for a long time Never heard of him saying anything that didn't come true Everything really come true indeed it does I'll never forget poor Doris Manson.  Well, that's terrible Isn't there anything we can do L Bay said that he could do something about it, but it would cost me $100,000. I told him I couldn't afford to pay that much not when your life is in the balance No, I I can't believe I'm going to commit suicide I've never known L Bay to be wrong. I think it would be better for you to pay him off. I'm not going to do it Very well my dear You know you can count on me for any help you need. Oh, thank you, Robert I know I can you know how about a glass of your fine port to do it both good I think that's an excellent idea. I'll get it. Say I admire your courage my dear. I'm not brave I just won't part with all my money for something. I don't think will happen The wine will make you feel better wine always helps and now Martha to your health and long life Hello, hello Martha. This is Camilla Huntington. I just called to see if you'd received my invitation.  I just know you're going to enjoy Rashid L Bay He's such an interesting person. Yes He is but whatever's the matter my dear you sound as though you don't like L Bay Oh, it it isn't that Camilla. It's just that he told me something very unpleasant. He did whatever was it? I'd rather not discuss it Camilla. Oh look Martha. Why don't you try him again? Perhaps he's looked into his crystal again in the scene something for the better. Do you do you think there's a chance? I most certainly do think about it dear. Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow at my party. Goodbye. Goodbye Camilla and thanks Try him again. Yes, I'll do it. Why didn't I think of that before? Oh, I'm sure he's seen something. Is this her son? This is Mrs. Langdon. I've got to speak to L Bay right away. One moment, ma'am Good evening Mrs. Langdon. Oh, I just had to call you L Bay I I wondered if you would look into your crystal ball again. See if it said the same thing I have looked many times madam. The pictures have not changed. The span of your life is growing short Oh, no. I beg of you to reconsider before it is too late. Well, I Won't reconsider paying you one hundred thousand dollars if that's what you mean. Alas then what is written will be so I am sorry madam The sands of your life run out rapidly. Oh Oh I never should have called him in the first place. He scares me so Perhaps I'd feel better if I drank a glass of wine Now, maybe this will lift me out of this terrible mood. I Certainly hope so. It's awfully nice of you to pick me up this morning, Nate. So I'd patch here Just happen to be going by or switch on the radio, will you? Police, friend? Sure. Oh Gosh, it's a beautiful morning Car 18 go to him lock and toy report at burglary Car 43 go to 54 tonight traffic right out of what a charming radio personality 256 and 257 get the 1485 North End Avenue assistant sergeant Madison and homicide squad in suicide on premises that is all me You don't suppose that could be another but I think we'll find out we can be there in less than five minutes What's the verdict this time? Oh, I don't know Nick I just got here myself only had time to find out that this is the same kind of case as the ones we were talking about Well, you mean the one who committed suicide was a woman. Yeah in her 30s and well, that's right. Patsy Oh, I'm gonna take a look. Yeah, sure. Nick. She's right in here in the library, right? Well, there she is the late Martha Langman. Hmm Say the cause of death was cyanide judging by the smell. Yeah, I noticed the bitter almond smell too Did you leave a note sergeant? Not that I've been able to find she didn't leave a note Patsy But it looks as if she tried to leave as a message. Yeah, what do you mean? I don't see anything for look Maddie in her hand Oh, I've already looked at that. It's nothing but an invitation to some swank tea party coming off this afternoon. Oh, let me see Mrs. Camilly honey didn't request the pleasure of your presence at an afternoon tea in honor of Russia del Bay Noted analyst of the alcohols so on and so forth. Yeah Well, what makes you think that means anything Nick? Well, how does she happen to be holding in her hand when she died? Well, she could have picked it up before she knocked herself off No, no, no, I don't think so Maddie It wouldn't be easy to open a bottle pour out a drink and hold on to a card like this at the same time Oh, she must have put it down before she put herself the fatal drink. Well, that's right Yeah, yeah, so she must have made a superhuman effort to pick it up again Remember cyanide X almost instantaneously I know I think Mrs. Langdon picked this up with the hope that it would lead us to her murderer What's that? That's right Martha Langdon was murdered. What how Nick the windows are locked and the maid says no one's been here all day The dame drinks poison and you say she was murdered. I do I do Maddie smell this bottle of wine, huh? Say yes, yes, the bottle has cyanide in a tube And no one is going to commit suicide by drinking cyanide poisons the whole bottle. He only puts the poison in the glass Now Maddie Martha Langdon was murdered Now back to the case of the crystal prophecy today's adventure with Nick Carter brought to you by Old Dutch Glenser As we pick up our story Nick and Maddie are talking to Robert winter who says he hurried over to Martha Langdon's home as soon as he heard of her death Mr. Winter do you know anything about this tea Mrs. Camelia Huntington is giving this afternoon? Why? Yes, I'm attending the party myself. Can you think of any reason why Mrs. Langdon should have picked up this invitation in her dying moments? No, I can't it'll probably be a very dull affair. Uh-huh. Oh, thank you very much. Mr. Winter quite all right I only hope you're able to catch Martha's murderer. Goodbye. Oh Mr. Winner Did you happen to know or Mrs. Nora Church? Why? Yes, and Mrs. Doris Manson. I Yes, I did. Thank you, Mr. Winner Thank you very much Do you suspect Mr. Winner? I don't know Of course those specksy whiz were enough to make me suspicious of him. That's sound evidence But the fact that mr. Winter knew at least two of the other dead women is interesting at least And the fact that he's going to miss his hunting as party this afternoon also interests me You think all those other women were murdered too. I'm positive Betsy Proving it was going to be something else Well, come on.  Nick you haven't explained how you happen to know Mrs. Huntington so well. Oh, I've known her a long time Apparently when we showed up at the door she acted as though you were a long lost relative It's very simple I recovered some jewels for some years ago. Oh Looks as if I'm not going to make good of my promise to marry. Huh told him I'd keep an eye on winter But he seems to have disappeared in the crowd. Well, nobody can get out of this room without passing us. Oh, that's right Oh something's going to happen make yeah Effendi it is the time for the appearance of my master the master Oh Nick isn't that a beautiful beard Elbe has what a gorgeous costume. Yes, that is quite a costume Good afternoon my friends. I am much pleased that you have gathered here to do me honor I will say no more than tell you it is impossible for me to read my crystal ball before all of you But I shall be happy to conduct individual readings in a room which are charming hostess has made available. I Will retire now to that room. Come on. That's it where Nick you're not going to have your fortune told are you now? We're going back to the office. Oh good. You can drop me off the beauty parlor. Sorry.  That's he we're going back to the office And I'm going to add years to a girl's face and that girl is you I Hope I don't look as funny as I feel you don't you make up fine. You look at least 35 That's the worst compliment I ever had Now that's a remember Whatever happens. I want you to play along and when you enter the master's presence tonight Don't forget whom you're supposed to be I won't nick well Here I go. Good luck, and don't worry. I'll be around somewhere I'd like to see Rashi del Bay. Please. I miss is Andrew Waller. Please do come in. Thank you Miss I believe person had here then she will wait in crystal room. All right come please Please to be seated here. I go now tell master. Thank you Oh Mrs. Andrew Waller who has come to seek advice from the all-seeing crystal You are the holder of driver's license number 74592 issued in this city 18 days ago Your original home was in Brightwood. Oh, that's wonderful. It is wonderful only because through this power given to me I am able to give help to those who come here to seek the answers to those things Which they cannot know then maybe you can help me. It's very important very well madame Please to draw near Look into the crystal Do not allow your attention to waver for an instant Oh ball of ever-knowing light Bring to your surface the future of the one who seeks the answers to questions as yet unknown The war begins to clear Picture is forming. I can see you madame You are wondering about a man the man is nearly 35 years of age He's over six feet tall good-looking. He's engaged in a very dangerous occupation His name is Nick Well it looks as though Nick's plan to have Patsy disguise herself as an older woman and gather evidence in Rashid Elbey's apartment has backfired In a moment. We'll hear the conclusion of this adventure Now back to the conclusion of the case of the crystal prophecy today's adventure with Nick Carter brought to you by Old Dutch Glinter as we return to the story Rashid Elbey says if you move I shall be forced to use this gun You are very foolish to come here my dear young spy How did you know who I was a very regrettable mistake on your part? You were careful to place forged documents in your purse But you also left the real one in it your appointment at the beauty parlor in your real name Oh, no, yes, and now I find it necessary to dispose of you You wouldn't dare you know that Nick will get you for it.   They were stubborn. They refused to pay to keep from committing suicide So they did kill themselves as I arrange. Oh, ah son Has done yes What kept you I was in the real Take this girl out of the car.   No has done.   That's what you're supposed to think now I'll just rip off the master's false whiskers so that when Sergeant Madison gets here He can book him for murder under his real name Robert winter I tell you Sergeant. I was never so glad to hear Nick's voice But it was certainly queer to hear it coming from the man. I thought was Hassan. Yeah, how'd you do it, Nick? I told Patsy I'd stick close to her Maddie was the only way I could manage it Well, I got into the apartment knocked out Hassan and they did a quick change so I could pass for him Well, you certainly looked like the real thing to me. I thought you're gonna take me out and boil me in oil Patsy, you know, I wouldn't do that to you. Oh Nick Tell me how did you know that L Bay and Robert winter were the same man? You were partly responsible for that. I was yes Don't you remember you said his spats were enough to convict him as far as you were concerned? Yes Well, they did convict him when the fake L Bay appeared at Mrs. Huntington's party He made the mistake of wearing his spats under his robe. I caught a glimpse of them. Well, I'll be darned Of course, Mrs. Langdon gave us a lot of help by grabbing up that invitation once she knew she was dying That's calling attention to the party where I could find L Bay and his fats So Robert winter would advise these women to consult L Bay and then as L Bay he would tell them They were going to commit suicide unless they paid them off. That's right. They paid. They were all right But if they refused he killed them as a lesson to the other Sonic. That's right, Manny Well, that proves that no one should ever believe the things that are a scene in a crystal ball Well Nick how about a few advanced hints about the adventure old Dutch clenches going to bring us next week Before I tell you about next week's adventure I want to remind our listeners that the Red Cross is carrying on in peace just as in war in any disaster flood tornado hurricane or epidemic you'll find the Red Cross on hand with shelter food clothing and medical care But this is just part of the story of the activities of the Red Cross So it's no wonder that the Red Cross needs funds And I want to urge everyone to give and to give generously to the Red Cross and I'm sure they will make so am I But now Nick about next week's adventure. Okay, Bob I'll give you a few highlights a man telephoned me greatly excited about a discovery just made and before Nick could get any details The man had hung up which made me curious and from then on we got mixed up with red pencil lines in a phone book a list of perfume Shots a junkyard a trip to see in a crowded barge and whoops fancy Save something for next week.

This evening we have Jim Merrifield who has some letters after his name and that's what he's going to talk about tonight, so I'm going to let him explain those. But he is the Director of Information Governance, that's a hint for FileTrail Incorporated and he is the founder of the Information Governance Conference. So there's an even better hint to one of the letters. And Jim is going to speak to us about career paths for the next generation of records manager. And I'm going to turn this right over to Jim so we can get started. Okay, thanks so much Pat and thanks for the opportunity and thank you everyone for joining us. So Pat gave a quick introduction. I'm not going to spend too much time on this slide because I know I have an hour of your time. But yeah, I'm the Director of Information Governance at FileTrail. What that means is I assist global organizations on how to build Information Governance strategies and keep them up to speed with the latest technologies to manage information better. Co-founder of Information Governance Conference, it was actually inaugural year this year in Hartford in September. Pat was there, gave a wonderful presentation. We'll be continuing to do this conference each and every year in Hartford, in Connecticut. We had over 200 this year. I'm also involved with ARMA being their immediate past president. I co-author the ARMA IGP Prep and also an AEM education partner and we'll get into some of those certificate courses as we go along. So here's the million dollar question. Which certification should I choose? There's so many of them out there and I like this quote from Jeff Witte from ARMA International. Certifications can definitely establish credibility but the challenge is choosing the most relevant ones from among the most available can be quite a challenge. And I think the next slide illustrates that. It's really what I call the, and ARMA has actually used this term, the alphabet soup. And that's really what's out there right now. It's making it so difficult to distinguish one from the other, a certificate from a certification. And yes, there is a difference. But before we talk about some of those acronyms that you see on the slide, let's focus on what a certificate and certification are and how they are different. So really what's the difference between these two? Really this is a quick comparison chart with the certificate. Really for newcomers or experienced professionals, usually there's education programs behind it such as AIM International or ARMA and usually you can listen on your resume with no letters and it demonstrates knowledge of a course content at the end of a set period of time. Now certifications on the other hand are much more involved. Most require a pre-approval process. There is minimum requirements that must be met in order to be approved to sit for the certification examination, usually some education to go along with it. Usually complete an application, provide required documentation, then you ultimately pay a fee. That's not to say that certificates don't cost money, but usually certifications cost much more.  So the thought behind certifications is that they're much more difficult to achieve and usually require additional financial investments and substantial preparation time. And there's also ongoing requirements for CEUs as well. So here's the certifications we're going to talk about today. I thought these were most relevant to the MARA program, the ICRM from the Institute of Certified Records Managers, the PMI Project Management Institute, CIP from AIM International and the CIPP from IAPP and last but not least the newest one is the IGP from AIM International, the Information Governance Professional. So this is not the end all of certifications, but again it's the ones that I felt was most beneficial for this audience. So the first one we're going to discuss is the Certified Information Professional from AIM International. So it's based and developed in accordance with the ISO Standard 17-024 which ensures conformity to accepted procedures for individual certification. So it is an ISO Standard certification which gives a level of standard for these types of certifications. What it does is demonstrate your ability to bridge IT and business. And to me that's important especially for Records Managers today because usually Records Managers are weak in the technology fields, they're weak in those skills. So this Certified Information Professional will help you keep your information management skills current and competitive and also keep up with the times and which is why you saw the CIP after my name, I felt it was important. So what's actually involved in the exam? So we're going to actually discuss this certification and how to test your knowledge in the following six domains. So first access and use. What that's going to talk about is things like enterprise search, business intelligence, master data management, text analytics. The capture and manage domain is going to talk about things like information capture, business process management, knowledge management, email management, and content management. Collaborate and deliver is going to talk about things like social media, the information workplace, how people are talking about, talking and collaborating in so many different mediums such as instant messaging, telecommuting support, web conferencing, you know, things like we're doing today with this broadcast, this is about web conference. Then there's secure and preserve which is the fourth domain which is going to talk about things like security, records management, data privacy, digital rights management, archiving, and e-discovery. And then architecture and systems is going to talk about information architectural, technical architecture, cloud computing, mobile applications, and website and portal. So it's going to get a little IT geeky so to speak, but it's a good test of your knowledge and it's really a high level overview of these domains. And then finally plan and implement. It's going to talk about topics like strategic planning, building a business case for solution design, implementation planning, requirements, definition, solution design, and change management which are skills that you're going to need no matter, you know, what you're going to do in your career. For me, the CIP has helped me as a solution provider to be able to talk effectively with CIOs at client sites. So now we've discussed, you know, what a CIP certification is, what the domains are. So the eligibility requirements. So there's no mandatory requirements at all, which means all of you on this call or on this presentation are eligible. So AIM recommends the candidates have a minimum of three years experience, increasing your responsibility in one of those topical areas listed there, library science, information technology, and then one more experience as well. And I would think that if you're enrolled in the MARA program, you definitely meet those requirements and then Pat can correct me if I'm wrong. And it's not necessary to be a member of AIM. So again, anybody can take this exam. So about the test, we talked about the domains, the eligibility. It costs $265 USD. If anybody, I will add to that. If anybody's interested in taking this exam, being a CIP, I can give you a discount code. I think it's about 20% from AIM. So let me know. You'll have, you know, two hours to take the exams, a hundred multiple choice. There's no essays. You have to score a 70 and you'll receive your score report in about a month. So it's pretty straightforward. Now there is maintenance to go along with the certification. You have to recertify every three years. One of the two methods, you can either just not do any CEUs throughout the three years, which why would you want to do that? But or you can take the test and submit 45 continuing education credits over three or a period. And the reason why you would do that is if you submit the 45 CEUs, your exam is free. If you do not submit 45 CEUs over that three-year period, you will have to pay for the exam every three years. And the reason why I think this is great that AIM requires you to retest every three years is because technology changes so much and the test will change. And the credit, you know, the study materials will change. I see that there's a question from Rebecca, how do we study for the test? The AIM site actually has a e-book that is very helpful. I think it's free to AIM members. But I can also contact you offline and send you a couple of links that will help you to study for the exam. If Pat will share your contacts with me, I'd be glad to help you. So we've talked about the CIP. Now we're going to talk about CIA, it's a Certified Document Imaging Architects. Now, CompTIA has been around for a long time. What it is, for those of you who are not familiar with it, it's an internationally recognized, credential acknowledging, competency and professionalism in the document imaging and records management industry. So with records management used to be focused on primarily paper, it's moving towards imaging and scanning electronic data. So this certification can definitely help you possess the critical knowledge of all the major areas of technology used to plan, design and specify an enterprise content management system, which all of you, I'm sure, work in each and every day. So here's the domains. There's five domains that are going to test your knowledge. And first is ECM. And what the ECM domain is going to explain the proper uses of an index, what an index is, what search is, what retrieval is. It's going to explain the functions used in a workflow pattern. It's going to explain how to use collaborative capabilities. It's going to compare and contrast document presentation and output features. And it's going to explain the purpose of content life cycles. So a really, again, a high level overview of an ECM. Capture is going to talk about selecting the appropriate input sources and methods, for example, mobile, fax, barcode, RFID. It's also going to talk about implementing document scanning technologies and processes. It's going to differentiate recognition methodologies and technologies. It's going to explain the purpose of metadata and file properties. Storage and networking is going to focus on things like various storage medium types and associated properties. It's going to compare and contrast various storage strategies, such as online, offline, onsite, offsite, things like that. It's going to explain the basics of network connectivity and hardware solutions. So you're not going to have to be an IT geek, so to speak. But you're going to have to understand high level network connectivity and hardware solutions. Security and compliance is going to explain the basics of records management. I don't think anybody on this call is going to have a problem with that. It's going to explain the different access security methods, various elements of network security, how to implement appropriate document information security, which is a hot topic today. We know information security, and we'll talk about that a little later in the CIPP certification. And then finally, analysis, design, implementation. It's going to talk about things like the basics of project management, how to execute appropriate requirement gathering techniques, how to analyze and collect data and validate client requirements, how to structure a solution design according to specified requirements, and apply implementation and testing procedures. And again, a lot of this information is on the websites at the end of the slides, at the last slide. So what's the eligibility requirements? Again, there are no eligibility requirements for this exam at all. Same as the CIP, but it's recommended that you have at least two years of relevant work experience. And about the test, it recommends that you have about two years of on-the-job experience in scanning or dealing with networks. The exam is about 100 questions. You're allowed 90 minutes. Passing score is $700 or $70, and the cost is $293, roughly $300 bucks. Now maintenance, there's no maintenance required for this CDIA plus imaging certification. And then again, I'm moving quickly through these certification slides because of time, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask me offline. So the next certification we're going to talk about is the CIPP. It is, it was founded by the IAPP or the International Association of Privacy Professionals. And the IAPP is the largest and most comprehensive global information privacy community and resource. It was founded in 2000, and the IAPP is a non-for-profit that helps define support and improve privacy, the privacy profession globally, and they're definitely busy in today's times. So when you earn a CIPP credential, we're going to focus on the U.S. credential. There is also five options with Canada, Europe, and the U.S. government. And I think there's an IT one that I didn't add on the slide. So let's talk about a couple of those of these domains. So there's five domains. An introduction to U.S. privacy environment. It's going to talk about the structure of U.S. law. Again, you don't have to be a lawyer to take this exam. It's going to talk about enforcement of U.S. privacy and security laws and theories behind those laws. It's going to talk about information management from the U.S. perspective. Second domain limits, the private sector collection and use of data. It's going to talk about things like cross-sector, FDIC, privacy protection, health care regulations, such as HIPAA, high-tech and GINA, financial regulations, such as Dodd-Frank and the FCRA and CFPB, education regulations, such as FERPA and the telecommunications and marketing regulations as well. The third domain, government and court access to the private sector information is going to discuss law enforcement and privacy, things like access to secured financial data. National security and privacy, talking about the USA, focusing on the Patriot Act. Civil litigation and privacy, talking about things like electronic discovery, which is definitely a hot topic today with spoiliation and it's not going to go away. The fourth domain about workplace privacy, you know, that's a big deal with PII. It's going to talk about an overview of workplace privacy concept and issues privacy before, during and after employment, so how that information is used throughout the life cycle of somebody's employment at a company. And finally, state privacy laws, fell over state marketing laws, financial data, data security laws, data breaches and the such. We know that there's been many data breaches today with companies like Target and Home Depot. I don't know if your credit cards were compromised, but it's definitely a hot topic and a certification to be considered. So eligibility requirements. The IAPP requires you to be a member prior to testing. And if you're going to go for the CIPP-US examination, you must take the certification foundation exam required for all first-time certification attendance. So what that certification foundation exam is, what it does is access the understanding of fundamental concepts of privacy and data protection. And it covers common privacy principles and approaches to global data protection models, information security controls, and online privacy protections. And these practices are relevant to all privacy professions regardless of legal jurisdiction, geographic location, or practice specialization. So they want you to have a foundation before embarking on these jurisdictional certification, whether in the U.S., Europe, or Canada, or the like. So the certification foundation exam is 90 questions. The cost, 275 bucks, scoring is scaled. CIPP-US is 60 multiple choice and it costs relatively the same and each question is worth one point. So, and again, the test is scaled. So there's no passing. I guess they must scale it against during that period of time with testing. Again, you can find more information on the link at the bottom of the slide. So maintenance, once you've earned your credential, it's good for, you must keep your IAP membership for one year. And you must, you know, or actually, correct me, you must be in good standing each year in order to remain a CIPP-US professional. And you must fulfill at least 10 hours of CPE or CEUs per year. So again, it's forcing you to keep up to date on the latest regulations, laws and regulations in the space of information security, which is definitely important. Next certification we're going to talk about is the Project Management Professional Certification. If you're a project manager in an organization, you definitely want this certification. I know from experience dealing with people who have gone for this, professionals who have gone for this certification and who are project managers or even consultants have definitely seen an increase in salary because of this, of attaining this, this certification. So let's talk briefly about the domains what you're going to learn throughout this journey of being a PMP from Project Management Institute. So initiating the project, you're going to be able to perform project assessments based upon available information and meetings with key stakeholders. I mean, really, who of us today is not a project manager? No matter what our title is, who of us had not dealt with a project or two or many or hundreds? You're going to find, you know, the scope of the project, perform key stakeholder analysis using brainstorming, interviewing and other data gathering techniques. You'll be able to develop a project charter and then be able to obtain approval for a project charter. So it's really going to give you the training you need to be a wonderful project management professional. And then, again, planning the project, it's going to teach you stuff, things like scheduling, budgeting, roles and responsibilities for stakeholders, how to present a project plan to key stakeholders for approval, so how to communicate effective with them, and also how to conduct a kickoff meeting. Executing the project, talk about things like managing project resources, tasks, approving changes to a product, mentoring and training team members, which is invaluable during any project or what have you. Monitoring and controlling the project, you'll be able to measure product performance using appropriate tools and techniques, manage change in scope, schedule costs by updating project plans and approving these changes. You'll be able to identify any new risks and response strategies and also communicate project status to stakeholders for feedback to make sure the project's lines of business needs. And that is so important in that last part because projects really can lose legs, so to speak, if it deters from that initial role. So number four, monitoring and controlling the project is definitely a key attribute to this certification. And then finally, closing the project, it'll teach you things like how to close final acceptance and share deliverables we're actually met, so the project was successful. You'll identify lessons learned and also measure customer satisfaction by asking for feedback. So very basic techniques and information for being a project management professional. So eligibility, the PMI requires a, there's actually two options, a secondary degree with at least five years, project management experience for 7,500 hours leading to 35 hours of project management education or four-year degree, three years experience and 4,500 hours leading to 35 hours of project management education. So in order to be eligible for this certification, you actually have to be dealing with projects today, which I think most, no matter what our, again, no matter what our titles are in our organizations, I would definitely bet that we qualify for this kind of certification. About the tests, it's 200 questions, multiple choice, again, there's no essays. You get four hours to complete it. You can take this test online, so you don't have to go to a pro-metric location, so you can take this in the privacy of your home. And there's, again, there's two fees, I don't know why the online cost is more expensive than the pro-metric cost, but those are the rules. Maintenance, a PMP credit holder will need to earn 60 PDUs per three years, so that's not too bad for maintenance, again, pretty self-explanatory. So the next certification, CRM, Certified Records Manager. If you're in the MARA program, you're either a CRM already, or you're going to pursue this certification. So I don't think I have to go into what this certification is as it demonstrates your ability to apply and convey your knowledge to other management clients and other constituents. And I don't know if there's anybody on the line right now that is a CRM. You know, feel free to type in the chat box or interject during the, as I'm going through these slides, because I am not a CRM. I see that Lisa is, that's great. So she could probably attest to a PADDIS as well. I should probably let them talk about these domains other than me, but I'll move through these quickly. There's management principles and records management, records and information management program. The first, what I've heard is that this first domain is very difficult, just because it is forcing you to be a real manager, to actually develop skills that, you know, cross-pass with human resources, financial considerations, creating internal policies and procedures, and also thinking globally about your RIM program. The records information and creation and use talk about things like creating records and information, risk assessment, information security, electronic communications, and the like, talk about RIM related business activities, correspondence management, forms management, mail management facilities, and repographics. Record systems and storage and retrieval is going to talk about things like physical and electronic file systems, file conversions, record storage facilities and operations. And, you know, stopping right here, as you can see, these, you know, we've probably, now that this is the, I think it's the fourth certification we're talking about, a lot of these certifications overlap in content. And then talking about records appraisal, retention, protection, disposition, talking about appraisal, archiving, business continuity, and disaster recovery planning, and then, you know, getting into the technology, talking about imaging technologies. We talked about that in the CDIA and the CIP, system architecture, life cycle, upgrading and decommissioning systems and the like. And then finally, what separates this certification from the other ones that we've mentioned is that there's actually a case study, which is a written exam based on fictional case studies to test the application or your knowledge of domain one through five. And so, it really forces you to put your knowledge into practice and to think like a records manager or a subject matter expert. And definitely, the case study is definitely the most difficult, as you can see in the comments. Now eligibility requirements, I think these requirements actually changed recently as well. You need a minimum. You don't need a minimum of, if you have a bachelor, I think you can have one year. And if you have a high school or a GED, they want you to have three years. And applicants must have at least one year of professional records and information management experience, and there's an application fee of $100. It costs $100 for each domain, so a total of $650 for the whole exam. Passing a score from the multiple choice is a 70, and you must pass parts one through five before being eligible to take part six. And you must take it at a person-view testing center. There is maintenance required as well. The maintenance cycle is five years. It requires you to have 100 contact hours approved by educational activity throughout the year, like we've talked about during that five-year period, which is definitely not difficult. Attending something like this could probably get UCRM credit attending a conference. I'm sure your, perhaps, your MARA graduate degree could probably give you CEUs as well. And finally, the last certification we're going to talk about before we get into the certificates is the Information Governance Professional Certification. It's really, this is the one that I actually went for just because, you know, the CIP and the IGPU was just more in line with my career goals, but it's nothing against the other ones. But the way I think the market is turning is people really need strategic thinkers being able to drive out costs and mitigate risk and then get value out of the information in organizations. And that's what this certification teaches you. Daniel Pat got this certification as well. She was actually one of the inaugural in that group, and Lisa as well. So, bravo to that. And these domains, again, there are six of them. Managing risk, information risk and compliance. So, it's understanding and mitigating information-related risk through activities such as researching and monitoring legal, regulatory, and industry-specific compliant requirements, creating and monitoring internal policies and procedures. The Information Governance Professional collaborates with key stakeholders to determine risk levels and designs, developing an IG strategic plan so it demonstrates an in-depth understanding of organizations' business goals, corporate culture, financial resources, and commitments. Yeah, I saw in the chat, there's definitely study materials. I can send some to you as well. There's also a PREP, an IGP PREP course as well through ARMA. I also have some reference materials as well. The fourth domain deals with determining, actually, the third, let me back up. The third domain, developing an IG framework, establishing parameters of organizations' information governance efforts, designing program communications and training and developing audit and enforcement mechanisms to ensure the IG program to be measured, controlled, and improved. And then, again, establishing the Information Governance Program, establishing IG business integration and oversight throughout the organization, and then aligning technology and IG framework. So partnering with IT leadership to understand the organization's technology landscape. So really forcing you to deal with other stakeholders other than records management and really widening out, so to speak, to assess threats in technology related to records management and information governance. So the eligibility requirements, you actually need a four-year degree or some kind of degree, a four-year degree or a secondary degree. If you have a four-year degree, they require a minimum of three years of management or leadership experience in one of those following fields. And the experience must be in direct oversight of staff. Or you can, you know, a secondary degree with six years experience. So the eligibility requirements are a little more strict than the other certifications mentioned. The test is 140 multiple-choice questions in about three hours. So you take the exam and the cost is 600 bucks. So it's a little higher than some of the other certifications we've talked about. And again, you can get more resources at that, the link on the slide. I'm sure they'll be available offline. Talking about maintenance, there's a three-year period. You're required 60 contact hours, which is comparable to the ICRM 100 hour. But what's unique about this certification is that it requires 10 hours in legal and 10 hours in IT. So again, it's forcing you to widen out into different spaces, into different industries. So that's it for certifications. Now what we're going to do is talk about some of the certificate courses. I know we only have about 20 minutes, so I will go through these very quickly. And certificate courses, they have a business project management certificate course where you'll learn how to map design and automate operational process using a combination of strategies, change management, and technologies. And before I go further, what these certificate courses will help you to do, we're going to talk about AIM, ARMA, and then Optismo. These certification courses, if you're not, if you don't like to read a ton of books, if you're like me, and you really like interactive and online self-paced training, these courses can help you improve on where you're weak in any number of the certifications that we've talked about. So the second one is enterprise content management. We talked about that already, so I won't go into great detail with that. IG, we talked about as well. Managing records and SharePoint, I've taken that certificate course. It definitely helped me with a SharePoint project, Taxonomy and Metadata. I also took that one as well, helping you define a classification structure and SharePoint or another ECM solution, and then electronic records management. I took that one as well, where you'll learn best practices and technologies for capturing and managing electronic records. So again, that was very quick. If you have any questions, please let me know. ARMA also has their own certificate courses. I'm going to focus on one of the new ones is, actually one of the new ones is essential of information governance, so that one might help you, will definitely help you develop your skills as an IGP. So ARMA actually recommends that information governance certificate course to help you study for the IGP and the essentials of RIM certificate course and the essentials of generally accept the record keeping principles is recommended if you are going for your CRM. Now the other unique certificate course on this, which I like as well, is a professional leadership certificate, which is offered free to all ARMA leaders, ARMA board members throughout the world for free, but you can also purchase it at a cost. And some of the things that leadership certificate talks about is how to communicate more effectively, effective coaching for leaders, strategies for motivating your team, keys to successful negotiation and conflict, resolution and how to improve your time management skills. So really developing yourself as a public speaker and an influencer in your organization, because really the fact of the matter is, no matter how many certifications you have, if you can't communicate to your C-level or, you know, effectively to your end users, no certification is going to teach you how to do that. So that certificate course can definitely help you in those leadership areas of weakness. And then I kind of added this just because I'm actually, I'm Tismo's the holding company for the Information Governance Conference. So we actually developed our own courses. You can see on there we talked about the CIP certification. If you're looking for a prep course, we actually offer that to help you take that exam and pass it. And again, with the, if you take the prep course, you get a discount off the exam. We also have a communication and public speaking course, which focuses on developing a skill set of a traditional records manager or professional and, you know, helping you to be able to communicate clearly and speak with conviction, it kind of goes hand in hand with, hand in hand with the leadership course. And also there's two SharePoint courses, one focus on Information Management Fundamentals, which is a very basic course. You can actually go on the website and take that online. I think the entire course can take you about two hours and I think it's like 100 bucks. And the IG records management and SharePoint course goes in a little more detail, talking about, you know, 2010, 2013, Office 365, and third-party add-ons like FileTrail and how it can help your organization utilize SharePoint to its full capabilities. And you do not need to be a SharePoint expert to attend any of these courses. Although, experts are welcome too. And there's also an Information Governance course, which, hold on, let me back up. I see there's a question, what is SharePoint? That might be a topic for another day. I'm definitely hoping that this, it's a joke, but it's okay. It's definitely in a nutshell. SharePoint is a very scary product. So, you know what, if you don't know what SharePoint is, don't worry about it because if your organization is not using it, that's okay, you're probably better off. The Information Governance course, it's geared to help records management professionals take the leap into the world of Information Governance. So, and this course can also be used as a prep course for the IGP exam as well. So, after I consider this a lot of information to consider in an hour, I kind of went through it very quickly because I wanted to get through it all. But you're probably overwhelmed right now and you're still asking the question, well, which one do I choose?  But that's okay. If you ever need any guidance, you know, you can definitely reach out to me. Or Pat obviously, she's your instructor and mentor. But it really depends on your career goals.  If you're more technology savvy, you know, go for the CIPP. Security is definitely very, very hot today. So, again, I mean, thank you for attending. I wanted to leave at least 10 minutes for questions. Again, we only scratched the surface with these six certifications that we discussed today. My contact information, my email phone and my Twitter handle where I'm pretty active. Feel free to connect with me to bounce questions off me. I'm always available and I'm definitely, you know, a certification certificate course geek. I just like playing around with different certifications and, you know, I'm definitely interested in advancing my career and learning things from people like you. And, you know, I want to turn it over to Pat to see if there's any questions. Oh, thanks so much. There was a lot of information there to cover. Does anybody have questions on any particular certification or do any of you have certifications already? I see a couple saying something. Where do we find? Each one is different. You have to find out what certification you're going for or certificate. And at the site where they explain what it's all about, they also usually have links to study. If you are interested in the CRM, the ICRM Institute of Certified Records Managers has a site and they have a free handbook that you can use. And it's the same for certified archivists. We haven't talked about that, but we will in a future presentation. But I know that they have a handbook as well. And then the ARMA website is a really good place for the IGP. AIM provides materials for their certification.  Oh, a SharePoint for room course and could pay 100 more to take the ARMA certificate exam. Oh, that's a good way to do it. You can take all five parts of that six-part exam at once. I did that and got them all out of the way. And then you have to have all five passed before you could take that case study or unless it's been changed. So it actually took two sittings to complete the CRM exam. The others that I have, it was one sitting. Yep, local chapters do study material sometimes. We used to purchase them along the mount. Also have study groups that might be able to conduct that online. I know some people also charge to run study groups. I don't think you need that. I think you just need to maybe get with an ARMA chapter that's running something like that. Any questions for Jim? I know we never mind when we're done early. Jim, I want to thank you for offering to answer questions for them offline. So grab his email if you don't have it. Also, somebody asked if you would share your slides. If we do that, I usually do that as a PDF, but I'm not sure if you want that so you could think about it. And then that was Rebecca. And I think that's it as far as I have notes in the chat area. Yeah, no problem. Feel free to do what you want with the slides. Okay, I'll turn them into a PDF. I'll turn them into a PDF and then I'll link them on the site next to his name where you have the link to get in today. We'll post them there. It'll be easier for you to get them that way, and it'll be a PDF version. Okay. Well, I like that. It was worth it. Good. All right. Well, thank you very much, Jim. I'm going to turn off the recording. We really appreciate you being here with us today, taking time from your busy schedules.
