Alexander Johannesen has used a map to describe himself.
Through the hustle and bustle of a busy train shrieking up alongside the Oslo valleyside, I flipped out my notebook and drew a circle in the middle of a blank sheet of paper; me. Now, what am I interested in?…So, who am I? I am the map, and all emotions inbetween which makes things … interesting. Let’s see if I can make my map more emotional.
Australian banks require 100 points of identification to open an account. My passport and driver’s license say to the bank, “This is me”. Imagine however if we were identified by our interests instead. How much richer is the identification? Perhaps I should have taken in the list of 100 things about me instead.
I’m now reminded of a project I began a while ago but didn’t finish. Vanda’s CV mindmap from Buzan Centres is similar to what Alexander has done but with a different tool. Both give a broad picture of who they are. I have my list of 100 things. What does the map look like?
