About Me

My name is Susan Low. I am the principal consultant and owner of Directis Consulting Group, located in Victoria, British Columbia.

I have been working as a freelance or independent consultant for fourteen years, following an unusual and always interesting career trajectory. The areas I’ve worked in include technical writing, marketing, web design, occupational safety, training, and even head-hunting. Along the way I’ve enjoyed getting to know a really broad range of industries – government, industrial ship building, textile distribution, electrical utilities, software development, arts and tourism… the list goes on.

In December 2008 I took a workshop called “Meeting Graphics 101″ which introduced me to the world of graphic facilitation, and it was like a huge light turned on in my life. Through this catalyst I’ve decided to get much more bold about my career – hence my dive head-first into social media – and also start sharing more publicly some of my thoughts and theories about how people work and communicate in organizations and how to make work a better place.

I’m an entrepreneur, a wife, a mother, a friend, an athlete, but above all else – I am a thinker.
