Khanh Vu was recognising people’s strengths long before she discovered CliftonStrengths.
With over 24 years of experience spanning the employee lifecycle, from recruitment and onboarding to talent development, employee engagement and leadership, Khanh has built her career around understanding people and what makes them unique.
Having worked in both agency and in-house recruitment, including building internal recruitment functions, Khanh understands talent from the perspective of both candidates and employers. She recognised potential beyond a résumé, coaching candidates to understand their value, communicate what made them unique and secure roles that stretched their capabilities. Many of the candidates she placed went on to remain with their organisations for more than five years.
It was one of her clients who introduced her to CliftonStrengths, recognising that the framework could give Khanh a common language and research-based foundation for what she had been doing instinctively. She became a certified CliftonStrengths coach in 2013.
Born in Vietnam, Khanh came to Australia as a boat refugee with her family. Her parents’ example of resilience, hard work and finding joy in life’s simplest moments helped shape the Satori Attitude™, the philosophy behind the business she founded.
Today, through Satori Connect, Khanh combines her Eastern upbringing, Western professional experience and strengths-based development to create practical frameworks, learning experiences and digital solutions that help people apply their strengths in their careers, teams and leadership.
Based in Melbourne, Australia, she brings a deeply personal perspective to her work, grounded in the belief that people are more complex than any single framework can explain.
