Hi, I’m John Chambers – founder of JC Coaching & Consulting, certified professional coach, and someone who deeply understands what it feels like to chase success while carrying the weight of burnout and misalignment.

​

Growing up, I learned early what it meant to feel different. I was regularly bullied and sat through sermons from my own father about how homosexuality was the worst kind of sin. I internalized that shame and spent years trying to distract from or outrun it – working tirelessly to fit into the mold of who I thought I needed to be. You I thought I should be. That drive brought me a lot of personal and professional achievement.

​

But fear, while a powerful motivator, is a terrible foundation for fulfillment. Eventually, it left me burned out, disconnected, and painfully out of alignment with the life I truly wanted.

​

My healing journey – through therapy, friendship, tragedy, and a transformative EMDR experience – helped me rewrite that story. I stopped living to prove myself worthy and started living proactively in support of my core values and signature strengths. That shift helped me connect with a deep desire to more meaningfully help others to do the same. Which, of course, led me to coaching.

​

For the fellow positive psychology nerds among us: my top five VIA Signature Strengths are Appreciation for Beauty & Excellence, Curiosity, Open-Mindedness, Kindness, and Creativity. These strengths are the heartbeat of my coaching practice. They guide how I listen, how I support you, and how I help you rediscover your own strengths – even the ones you may have forgotten along the way.

​

Coaching doesn't feel like something I do – it’s who I am. I’m here to walk alongside you, to help you reconnect with what matters most, and to remind you that you’re not stuck. You’re just becoming.
