About me
Meet Katia Triggiani
Experience forged in complexity
My path so far
Over more than two decades, my career has moved between marketing, leadership, and human development: three worlds that, together, shaped how I see growth and communication.
At Fujitsu, Microsoft and Amazon, I led teams through expansion, transformation, and active listening. Those years taught me that success is deeply subjective, and that people move faster when they feel seen, heard, and connected to their purpose.
That understanding became the foundation of my work today. After obtaining the ICF Professional Certified Coach accreditation, the NLP diploma, and the EMCC Team Coaching Quality Award, I work full time as a coach, mentor, and trainer.
My specialty is leaders and organisations navigating complexity, change, or reorganisation. I help them find clarity when direction blurs, rebuild confidence after transition, and re-establish trust when communication falters.
Having lived and worked across cultures, I’ve learned that leadership doesn’t sound the same everywhere. Even in the same company it can mean different things. Yet its essence is universal: awareness, empathy, and courage in action. As a mother, I understand the balance between ambition and patience, presence and perseverance — and I know professional growth is only sustainable when it aligns with personal wellbeing.
In my work, I combine marketing principles with the insights of systemic coaching. This synergy helps clients see patterns, make confident decisions, and lead with steadiness, even when the environment keeps shifting.
Where rigour meets reflection
My philosophy & approach
My approach combines extensive business experience with human understanding, neuroscience, and modern methods to achieve results. The last two years of full-time coaching — 2,000+ hours and 150+ clients — showed that change is possible and sustainable.
Structure. The ICF’s clear coaching framework, ethical standards, and requirements. It gives every conversation a safe space, focus, and room for introspection.
Reflection. The EMCC approach, which keeps learning deeply personal, grounded, and connected to real-life situations.
This balance helps leaders and teams gain other perspectives and see the bigger picture while staying centred.
I work with clients in moments of transition: when clarity is needed, when confidence wavers, or when complexity feels overwhelming. We look at patterns in behaviour, communication, and decision-making, then build practical ways to shift them. Sometimes that means designing new conversations, and sometimes slowing down long enough to notice what’s already working.
Clients often describe the outcome as a renewed sense of direction and steadiness. That steadiness is what I aim to build: leaders who know how to think clearly, act intentionally, and lead without losing themselves in the process.
Change you can sustain
People and results come together
- Build clear expectations and processes, with kindness and empathy.
- Increase technology affinity to support people in their job, freeing time for productivity and creativity.
- Strengthen decision quality and collective focus across leadership teams.
- Navigate change and transformation without losing trust or direction.
- Create communication habits that connect strategy, culture, and execution.
- Turn each promotion into a specific action plan, landed on the manager’s plan.
- Set boundaries to remain calm under pressure and act with assertiveness.
- Strengthen their personal brand, to navigate corporate politics while remaining authentic.
- Help female leaders grow their networking skills, become visible, and influence without compromising authenticity.
- Align career growth and personal wellbeing, so progress feels sustainable rather than exhausting.
Credibility, earned
My professional foundations
Academic foundation
- Degree in Marketing & Communication, University of Bari, Italy
Professional training
- Diploma in Coaching, Allenati per l’Eccellenza
- Diploma in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Allenati per l’Eccellenza
- Professional Certified Coach (PCC), International Coaching Federation (ICF)
- Senior Practitioner, European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC)
- Positive Intelligence (PQ) Coach, trained with Shirzad Chamine
- Team Coaching Certification, Solution Focused Academy
- EMCC Team Coaching Quality Award (TCQA)A recognition for the quality, depth, and ethical standards of my team coaching practice.
These frameworks, from ICF’s structure to EMCC’s reflective practice, shape a coaching style that is both rigorous and deeply human. They also mirror my belief that learning never ends: it evolves through every client conversation and every challenge faced together.
Where my work has taken me
Difference as strength
A practice built on diversity and connection
My work has always been shaped by diversity. Having lived and worked across several countries, I’ve seen how connection grows when we make space for difference and listen with intent. Inclusion, to me, is the foundation of how I coach, lead, and collaborate.
I also believe success is never a solo journey. It’s built through cooperation, shared insight, and the courage to learn from one another.
This belief led me to create in Munich, and lead for six years, the Professional Women’s Network: a nonprofit dedicated to helping women share stories, strengthen networks, and support each other’s growth.
I have led the women@microsoft, women@amazon, and women@workday programs, with the aim of helping female talent emerge and find the courage to make their skills visible and rewarded.
Those experiences deeply inform my work ethic, fostering environments where every voice matters and where leadership is measured not only by achievement, but by how well we lift others along the way.
Leaders at pivotal moments
People I partner with
High achievers at different career stages. Working mainly online, I coach people in different countries and with different backgrounds. Some need mentorship to develop their career, others need coaching to lead global teams. Most of my clients work in corporations; others need support starting their business and positioning themselves on the market.
My background in marketing and international business helps me meet them where they are, balancing strategy with empathy and structure with curiosity. I take coaching as a way to see people in their full context and help them reconnect the dots between their values, goals, and strengths.
Alongside my independent work, I collaborate with Doujak Corporate Development, and deliver coaching and training through Speexx, Unmind, and Pack, which allow organisations and individuals to access my work through their own learning ecosystems.

Marketing Yourself Forward
After years in corporate, I reached a point where the metrics, meetings, and milestones no longer aligned with the meaning I was looking for. Marketing Yourself Forward was born from the moments I nearly walked away.
This book explores a different approach to career growth that brings together marketing insight, personal evolution, and the understanding that your story, values, and lived experience can become your strongest professional advantage.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Katia Triggiani for the past decade, and our journey began with Professional Women’s Network (PWN) as volunteers and executive board members. Over the years, I've witnessed Katia's remarkable growth and dedication firsthand. She is not only a thoughtful and empathetic friend but also a person of unwavering integrity. Katia's coaching expertise is truly exceptional. As an ICF credentialed PCC coach, she brings a wealth of experience and insight to her practice. Katia excels in guiding individuals through challenges such as burnout, interpersonal conflict, and time management, empowering them to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.

Katia helps me a lot to find more clarity, direction and purpose for my life and work. In our sessions, she shares significant observations about the impact of her questions and my thought process on the topics. Through these and challenging questions, I'm able to come up with my solutions and steps to progress on my tasks. I'm more productive at work by knowing my motivators and drivers from the coaching sessions with Katia. She is great at facilitating those insights into actionable steps and ways to keep myself accountable to reach it. Thanks Katia for coaching me to get more clarity, motivation and realistic actions to be more productive, relaxed and satisfied.

It has been a pleasure serving on the PWN Munich Board together with Katia. We met during the founding of the PWN Munich Chapter in Autumn of 2012. Since then, I have had the great pleasure to work together with her, building up the local network. Establishing a professional networking club takes a great amount of effort and it is a real challenge to engage volunteers to give their time and set things up. It was Katia's vision and drive which started the local entity, and her perseverance and way with people which has kept it growing. Katia's communication and leadership skills have been essential to forming and sustaining the local network. She is excellent in exciting others to contribute to the network's goals. Her pragmatic, direct and at the same time diplomatic way of dealing with challenges ensures that problems are solved in a sustainable way.

She’s not only a result driven and loyal perfectionist, but also an inspiring and very reliable professional. Goal oriented, methodical, and with a strategic mindset, as a leader, she invests time and energy in building a strong team synergy, taking care of its members and its results.

I had the pleasure of working with Katia as a coach during a phase of reflection and growth, both professionally and personally. Our work together helped me gain clarity, refocus my priorities and, most importantly, translate this increased awareness into concrete and sustainable actions over time. Katia combines a deep ability to listen with a structured and pragmatic approach. She doesn’t simply encourage reflection; she methodically supports the transformation of insights into decisions and action. As a manager, I particularly appreciated her ability to create a space for authentic and constructive dialogue—challenging yet deeply respectful—which leads to tangible results. A coaching journey with Katia is not just an exercise in introspection, but a true investment in one’s effectiveness, leadership, and alignment between who you are and what you do. I would highly recommend Katia to anyone who, just like me, feels the need to pause, recalibrate, and move forward with greater clarity and intention.
