Who’s teaching the program?
Laura Castaing + Carly Chase
The program is taught entirely by us, Laura and Carly. Together, we have 30+ years of navigating career paths that took us to small and large organizations including Goldman Sachs, MIT, The City of New York and top tier Tech Start-ups in New York City.
Six years out of college, Carly had a highly coveted job at Goldman Sachs with a lot of pressure to stay, but was unhappy. She leveraged The Crabwalk Method to find her next role as a Senior Project Manager in the City of New York under Mayor Bloomberg. She’s now a lecturer at MIT and runs their entrepreneurial programs in NYC.
Laura was studying Mechanical Engineering at Duke when she realized designing machines was not her dream. Not wanting to follow the coveted banking or consulting paths, she crabwalked her way to a job at a real estate company. Fast forward 14 years, she got her MBA from Northwestern, held two operations jobs at two tech startups, and launched her own successful coaching business.
We learned how to navigate careers when the path wasn’t straightforward.
We can teach you to do the same.

“I can confidently say that the workshop left me with concrete steps I can take to aspire to my goals as well as a genuine understanding of how I can break down the walls in my way.”

What if I can’t afford the program?
We totally get everyone has their own budgetary considerations. That being said, let’s reframe that for you.
What would the value be to you to be in a completely different place 5 weeks from now in your work? What would you want to make happen to make this worth it? Confidence in your unique strengths and interests? Clarity on what an ideal job would look like? Courage to leave your job for something better? Peace of mind that you’ll be ok? A side business to bring in extra cash?
While we can’t guarantee any specific results, we promise that if you do the course as it’s designed, you’ll walk out in a totally different place in 5 weeks. Our goal is that you get a massive return on your investment both financially and in your overall wellbeing. We’ll partner with you to get there.
