Most of this network can be found in my LinkedIn network, although not all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I placed myself at the centre node of this map for ease of layout, and then categorized the different communities of people who are supporting me on this journey as either <strong>work colleagues<\/strong>, <strong>former work colleagues<\/strong>, <strong>friends and family<\/strong>, and <strong>L&amp;D Consultants and other trusted professionals<\/strong>. The closer to the centre of the map and the larger the circle, the more numerous <em>or <\/em>more influential the community is. On the periphery I&#8217;ve also added smaller circles showing the geographical location of some of my network, since some communities in my professional life include colleagues in Canada, the United States, India, and Mexico. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though this is a map of my professional network, you will notice some communities who I do not directly work with, including friends and family members who are either close confidants (who I might talk about adult education topics with) and those who provide valuable support. I have included my graduate school cohort and instructors on this map, but have placed this part of my network slightly further away for now since we are still forming and learning about each other. I suspect that this part of my network will move closer to the centre of my map as the weeks move on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create this map I used Google Slides and downloaded the product as an image. I used the <a href=\"http:\/\/coolors.co\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"coolors.co\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coolors.co<\/a> website to help pick a colour palette.
