e-Learning and Learning Unleashed

Guiding Star’s Complete Approach to Building Capability

Learning that transforms an organization doesn’t come from slides alone—or from a single training day that fades by Friday. True growth happens when live experiences and digital resources come together to create momentum, inspire reflection, and drive behaviour change over time.

At Guiding Star Communications and Consulting, we design, deliver, and support learning programs that meet your people where they are—and take them further. From intimate workshops to large-scale blended initiatives, we create experiences that spark curiosity, build skills, and ensure insights translate into action.

More Than E-Learning: A Holistic Learning Partner

Yes, we love e-learning. We’ve pioneered rapid, affordable ways to deliver training through online portals and mobile tools—cutting costs and boosting consistency. But e-learning is just one part of the story.

We also craft live and in-person learning programs—workshops, retreats, learning journeys—that bring teams together to share experiences, practice new skills, and build the relationships that drive lasting change. And when we blend both worlds? That’s where magic happens: immersive learning journeys where online and in-person elements reinforce each other, delivering more impact for every dollar spent.

How We Work: From Idea to Implementation

Needs Assessment and Learning Architecture
We start by listening. What’s happening in your organization today? Where are the gaps—in skills, knowledge, or even attitudes—that are holding your people back? Through interviews, observations, and proven frameworks, we map the journey ahead: defining outcomes, identifying key themes, and choosing the best methods for your learners.

Custom Content Development
Once we know where we’re headed, we create—or co-create—the learning experience. Sometimes we work alongside your subject matter experts; other times, we take the lead. Whether digital or live, our programs are engaging, relevant, and rooted in adult learning principles.

Delivery Options That Fit Your Needs

  • Live Workshops & Training – From half-day intensives to multi-module journeys, we facilitate experiences that are participatory, practical, and energizing.
  • E-Learning Programs – Our rapid-build digital courses deliver consistency and reach, anytime and anywhere.
  • Blended Learning Journeys – We integrate both approaches, using technology to prep, reinforce, and extend live sessions—maximizing your ROI and minimizing “forgetting curve” losses.

Train-the-Trainer Initiatives
Want to scale impact? We equip your internal facilitators with the tools, confidence, and know-how to deliver ongoing training in-house—complete with facilitator guides, slide decks, and coaching on delivery techniques.

Beyond the Event: Mobilizing Knowledge into Action

Most training fails not because the content is bad, but because it doesn’t stick. We’re obsessed with solving that problem.

Every Guiding Star learning experience—live or online—includes strategies for knowledge translation to action:

  • Job aids, performance checklists, and reference guides
  • Microlearning follow-ups to reinforce key insights
  • Post-session coaching or mentoring to embed new behaviours
  • Practical project assignments that link learning to real work outcomes

Our goal: ensure your investment translates into better decisions, stronger teams, and tangible performance gains.

Digital Learning, Done Right

When e-learning is the right fit, we deliver it brilliantly. Our team builds memorable, interactive modules using modern authoring tools and multimedia elements—video, animation, audio—that captivate rather than bore. We design content for reusability and easy updates, keeping costs down while ensuring consistency across teams and time zones.

And when standard tools aren’t enough? We have the expertise to custom-code solutions—gamified learning, simulations, personalized pathways—tailored to your organization’s goals.

Performance Support: Learning That Lives Beyond Training

We know learning is a process, not an event. That’s why we design performance aids to support your people long after a session ends: cheat sheets, multimedia e-books, interactive case studies—even mobile apps like Case Swarm™ for ongoing practice and reflection.

Why Guiding Star?

  • End-to-End Capability – We handle everything: needs assessment, design, facilitation, content creation, digital development, and follow-up.
  • Blended Learning Expertise – We seamlessly combine live and digital learning for maximum impact.
  • Behavior-Focused Design – We emphasize practical application and measurable change, not just knowledge transfer.
