We recently connected with Darryl Chambers and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Darryl , thank you for being such a positive, uplifting person. We’ve noticed that so many of the successful folks we’ve had the good fortune of connecting with have high levels of optimism and so we’d love to hear about your optimism and where you think it comes from.
I have always had a certain level of optimism because I try to keep the most positive outlook on things as possible. I am one to have a great amount of faith that greater will come no matter what, so with God, prayer, and relationships I am usually certain that the next big thing is right around the corner form me.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I am a native of Valley, Alabama. I began modeling at the age of 18; although it wasn’t anything that I wanted to do initially I decided to give it a shot and from there it went to acting and hosting. I feel that the most exciting thing about the path that I’m on is that it’s a challenge for me to progress every single day. I love the challenge or seeing where I can take it next. I also love the fact that I’m on a path that no one ever expected me to be on, so to be able to continuously progress is very rewarding to me.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Three things that were and still are very impacted on my journey is having respect, being teachable, and being personable. Having respect for others is something that I have always been raised to do, and in this industry having respect for others will make you so much more of an easier person to work with. In life you must always remain teachable because you can always learn from now on; you have to be open to listening to people who have knowledge that you don’t. I feel that supporters are the reason that you are being elevated to where you are, so being personable with people as well as humble will make people like you even more, and the thing with me is that it’s just who I am and not an act.
If you are early on in your journey I suggest doing research on whatever it is that you may want to pursue because often times there’s more to anything that what’s meets the untrained eye. Also stay consistent because consistency is the key for growth.
Before we go, any advice you can share with people who are feeling overwhelmed?
Something that a lot of us don’t do is rest, and we must learn that it is okay to so. When I become overwhelmed with anything now I just stop and take a break to regroup or take on task as they are needed in any particular order.
