In today’s economy, the average worker will change jobs every 2-3 years, yet we’ve never been taught the skills to successfully manage a career path that doesn’t simply move “up the ladder”.
The impact is feeling stuck, comparing yourself to others, and not making as much progress as you want to.
We can change that. Crabwalk is an education and coaching company that provides the tools, frameworks and personalized guidance critical to feeling like you’re in the driver’s seat of your own career and life.
We work with professionals who want more out of their career and aren’t clear what’s next, and with organizations looking to provide career enrichment opportunities for their employees.
Laura + Carly
Laura Castaing and Carly Chase have been using the Crabwalk methodologies for 30+ years combined. It’s how they earned roles and promotions everywhere from Goldman Sachs, MIT, the City of New York, and multiple top tech startups. Now it’s the core of their own business.
The Crabwalk methodologies have been taught to students at MIT, Kellogg and Duke, and to professionals at JP Morgan, Google, and IBM. Laura and Carly have also taught this framework to a number of entrepreneurs backed by Y Combinator, Techstars and top tier venture firms.

“It’s such a comfort to find support and to know that you are not alone in this journey. When the program finished, I was happy to walk away with a clear mind and goal. In fact, I’ve achieved far more that I thought.”
“The workshop taught me how to leverage my networks and track realistic routes to success — the determining factors in securing a job offer from a Fortune 500 marketer.”
Can Crabwalk work for you?
I want my job to be less overwhelming
You’re working with limited resources and it takes so much time to get things done. You wish you had an army to help you, but even the thought can feel overwhelming. So you just put your head down and work. But that’s not going to last. We can help you build up your skillsets so you do more with less and have peace of mind as you do it.
I want to move up within my organization
You’re highly ambitious and curious. You love being challenged and learning new things. You feel more peace of mind when you know what you’re working towards. BUT, things aren’t totally clear right now. And it feels at teams incredibly frustrating, and isolating. You’d love to have clarity but don’t know how to get there. We can help.
I’m facing a career transition
Maybe things have been changing around you. Or you’re in a perfectly stable place but just feeling pretty unfulfilled and unsure of what to do next. Either way, Crabwalk can help build the right mindset and tools to get over this hump and find work you love.
