Curtis Butler

I help college students and recent graduates transform their career trajectories through expert interview preparation and confidence-building. At Guided Ascent, I've developed a proven methodology that combines rigorous interview coaching with strategic career positioning—enabling clients to secure competitive internships and job offers. Drawing on 25+ years leading teams in finance and investment management, I bring analytical rigor and executive mentoring skills to career coaching. I focus on three core areas: building interview mastery, developing authentic professional narratives, and cultivating the confidence to compete effectively for top roles. And my approach is customized and data-informed—tracking which strategies and positioning moves generate the most interview callbacks and offers. Outside of coaching, I'm an Eagle Scout who enjoys painting, gardening, hiking, and traveling. I'm passionate about investing and teaching young people how to think about markets. The way I see it, confidence, a positive attitude, and believing in yourself are what truly drive success—in careers and in life.
