Mentoring and Coaching

Empower People. Build Capacity. Drive Transformation.

Organizations thrive when their people feel supported, challenged, and equipped to grow. Whether it’s a trusted mentor sharing hard-won wisdom or a skilled coach guiding the discovery of better ways to work, these relationships fuel development in ways no handbook ever can.

At Guiding Star Communications and Consulting, we help you design, launch, and sustain mentoring and coaching programs that fit your culture—and deliver results. From strategy and training to easy-to-use technology, we provide everything you need to unlock human potential.

Mentoring: Time-Tested and Game-Changing

Mentoring has been with us since the dawn of organized work—and for good reason. It’s one of the most effective ways to accelerate learning, deepen engagement, and build confidence.

Yet creating a thriving mentoring culture isn’t always intuitive. That’s where we come in.

Our consulting support helps you design structured or informal mentoring initiatives that connect skilled mentors with motivated learners. Alongside our advisory services, we offer MentorMosaic^™, an innovative mobile platform (iOS and Android) that empowers your organization to:

• Build private mentoring communities with secure profiles and matching tools
• Support both short-term, focused mentorships and longer, formal relationships
• Enable mentees to set goals, track progress, and learn in the flow of work
• Capture and share insights that strengthen teams and elevate performance

With the right guidance, mentoring becomes more than tradition—it becomes a strategic driver of personal and organizational growth.

Coaching: Sharpen Skills and Elevate Performance

While mentoring often centers on sharing experience, coaching focuses on building specific capabilities and inspiring forward momentum. At Guiding Star, we support clients in two important ways:

• Helping your leaders and managers grow their own coaching capacity, grounded in our model that emphasizes behaviours over judgments, encourages learners to assess themselves, and fosters commitment to action
• Providing select coaching engagements on topics such as organizational culture, engagement, leadership, effective meetings, strategy development, and problem solving

Modern teams need coaching that can keep up with a fast-paced, distributed world. That’s why we created Trejnisto^™ — a mobile-only coaching app that makes contributory coaching easy, immediate, and collaborative. Within your private team space, you can:

• Deliver coaching messages (“pearls”) at the moment of need
• Gather feedback and ideas to expand shared understanding
• Capture a real-time pulse of team mood and engagement
• Build a documented coaching thread that evolves with your people

Assessing Coachability: A New Frontier

We know that the impact of coaching often depends on an individual’s readiness to receive and apply feedback. To help organizations and individuals unlock this insight, we’re developing a groundbreaking Coachability Assessment Platform. This 48-question tool enables employees to self-assess and invite 360° input from colleagues—creating a clear view of strengths and opportunities to grow.

Whether you’re nurturing high-potential talent or improving hiring decisions, this innovative assessment can illuminate the path forward.

From Ideas to Action

Guiding Star doesn’t just deliver tools. We stand beside you—from initial strategy to lasting transformation. Whether you’re designing a mentoring program, training your managers to coach effectively, or implementing new technology, we’ll help you create a culture where learning flourishes and people feel empowered to excel.
