About BARBARA WAINWRIGHT, CPC®
Barbara Wainwright, the CEO and Founder of Wainwright Global, Inc., has dedicated her life to helping others. Barbara’s life experiences have led her on a path of self-discovery and higher learning in her personal quest to make the world a better place for her family, her friends and her clients. Barbara believes that every person has a life purpose. And, that once a person discovers their purpose and begins taking steps towards actualizing that purpose, that a new level of confidence is realized, many different forms of abundance appear, bringing inner-peace and joy-filled days. Barbara’s business experience mirrors that of the American dream, when as a single mother struggling to support her children she founded J.F. Positive Systems, Inc., a software development company, which she ran for twenty-two years. Yet, despite the success of her lucrative business, Barbara felt something was missing. With a deepening desire to give back, Barbara began her quest by sharing her knowledge and experience and helping others to succeed. Barbara Wainwright’s goal setting, persistence, maintaining a positive attitude, self-motivation, expanding paradigm and accountability to her dreams were the key ingredients in her success, and became the cornerstone of her message. Barbara is responsible for training over 6,000 professional coaches since 2006 and has established credibility in the marketplace through acquiring 3rd party accreditation at the graduate university level. As a key component of a graduate business program, the professional life coach course is accredited by the AASCB. Wainwright Global’s training is further accredited by Strategic Learning Alliance, an applied-learning credentialing organization who confers the CPC® credential.

Barbara, Thank you for helping me make my dream come true. I love you. We will have to talk and put our minds together of how we can change the world to a better place of empowerment. I hope you have seen my Website. www.DrChristina.com With much respect and love,
Andrea Sharp / Fellow Graduate of Money & You Program
Barbara Wainwright is what I would describe as a true master. She’s highly disciplined, profoundly wise, immensely loving, and thoroughly genuine. I had the good luck of meeting her and eye-witnessing her talent for succeeding in business and life. I’m extremely grateful to know she’s here in this world doing what she does.
Jill A. Ryan, Founder/CEO, RomanticRecruiter.Com / Client
Barbara has an amazing ability to connect with her clients on an almost subconscious level. She quickly assesses the “root of the problem” and recommends positive changes in a matter of minutes. Her engaging attitude and positive outlook allow her to relate to all types of personalities. She is highly effective in helping people improve their life, relationship and career goals. I plan on using her service in the future and will no doubt continue recommending her to everyone I know.
Carol Jeffries / Client
Barbara is the most innovative and insightful professional I have had the privilege of collaborating with. She not only has the gift of integrating one’s goals and objectives into a strategic plan as well as one’s issues and concerns into strategic resolutions, she also provides possible outcomes that are creative and that can be realistically implemented. Barbara’s knowledge, integrity, positive attitude and willingness to serve makes her a very special associate.
W. Berry Fowler / Client
Spring 2008 ~ Barbara, thank you. Your Certified Coach Practitioner course was absolutely terrific. Over the past thirty years, I have had the honor of advising and coaching hundreds of franchisees, small business owners, corporate executives and nonprofit directors. And, based on the positive feedback I have received from my clients and the long term relationships I continue to enjoy, I’ve always felt I did a pretty good job in helping my clients achieve their goals and dreams. However, after taking your course and acquiring the tools that come with it, I now have a whole new system of providing even more value to my clients.
I may be an “old dog”, but you’ve taught me some amazing new tricks.
Stephen Moore, CPC / Client
For years I asked God to reveal himself to me and for years I was disappointed not to have experienced a Moses type moment. What I’ve learned is that I was simply not looking in the right places. God has revealed himself to me many times, most recently in a dear person who helped me see that my daughter needs more love in her life and and less control. I have no doubt in my mind that human beings need coaches. You have shown me that BW. God Bless You
