meet Julie Zaruba Fountaine
Hi there! I’m Julie Zaruba Fountaine, a Well-being specialist and the Founder of EMPOWER Possible, LLC. Drawing on over a decade of experience, my unwavering dedication is focused on empowering individuals, teams, and organizations to unleash their maximum potential and create thriving well-being programs and policies.
I started this business out of personal experience, having faced burnout and witnessing the lack of support for employees in many organizations. I saw a gap in my community and wanted to make a difference by addressing well-being and organization development together. With my unique background, including a Master’s degree in Health, Nutrition, and Exercise Science, an MBA in Change and Leadership, and extensive community involvement, I have the expertise to serve my clients distinctively.
Why Empower?
What sets me apart is my ability to develop and achieve strategic goals while engaging employees and leaders. My work has been nationally recognized, including receiving the Campus Prevention Network Seal of Prevention Award and leading COVID-19 prevention efforts for a regional liberal arts college. I even partnered with the Minnesota Department of Health to develop a program plan for mitigating COVID-19 at higher education institutions.
At EMPOWER Possible, we take a holistic approach to self-development and change, focusing on the three empowerments: the self, social networks, and the systems that shape our lives. By discovering their interconnectedness and developing these areas, we can renew our skills and build our capacities. As a certified change management specialist, I have supported the well-being and development of thousands of individuals, living out the mission of EMPOWER Possible.
Let’s work together to unlock your potential and create a brighter future. Contact me today and let’s embark on this transformative journey together.
