Barbara Wainwright, Certified Master Coach and entreprenuer

Barbara Wainwright, Coaches Institute International’s co-founder, 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’s business experience mirrors that of the American dream, when as a single mother struggling to support her two 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 other single mothers to succeed. Barbara Wainwright's goal setting, persistence, maintaining a positive attitude, self-motivation, expanding ones paradigm and remaining accountable to one's dreams were the key ingredients in her success, and became the cornerstone of her message.

Testimonies from Barbara's Clients

"It is with great joy that I would like to recommend Barbara Wainwright as a life development coach. God has gifted Barbara with the keen ability to speak directly to the core essence of human hearts. My life has changed dramatically since my encounters with Barbara. My income has doubled and my goals are blooming into reality. Barbara enabled me in the most gentle, loving, way to see how I was limiting God's plan to bless my life. She helped me to see beyond my own limitations and to look to God as my source of abundance. She encouraged me to search within to draw out unspoken desires and dreams that had been lying dormant for years. Barbara believed in me when I couldn’t believe in myself. She is consistently available with kind and motivating words of encouragement. And her enthusiasm and appreciation for life is absolutely contagious. I now feel empowered me to allow myself permission to live the life that God has always intended for me. Barbara’s inspiration and support have truly been a cherished gift in my life." - Sheri Ronn, Consultant, JP Morgan Chase REO Department
