About Us

We equip leaders to overcome adversity, lead with clarity, and live with greater purpose.

The Javelin Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to developing resilient, high-impact leaders who serve others—especially in times of personal or professional hardship. Our mission is simple, yet transformative: to provide elite-level leadership training and support to those who need it most, when they need it most.

Founded by Sam Palazzolo, a leadership expert and executive coach with a background in Fortune 500 strategy and entrepreneurial success, the Javelin Institute brings a unique blend of executive rigor and human empathy to its programming. Our work is grounded in the belief that great leaders aren’t just born—they’re forged.

Through our Executive Education and Centered Coaching programs, we empower leaders to regain their footing, realign their purpose, and recommit to their calling.

We serve those in transition.
We support those facing adversity.
And we stand beside those ready to rise.

What We Do

  • Executive Education: Leadership programs developed to provide the catalyst resulting in real strategies and real results.
  • Leader-Centered Coaching: Focused 1:1 support that helps leaders rediscover their strengths, refine their mindset, and take aligned action.
  • Stakeholder-Centered Coaching: Coaching that fosters communication, accountability, and transformation across leadership teams and organizations.
  • Business-Centered Coaching: A holistic program that aligns leadership, strategy, and operations for impact beyond the bottom line.
  • Scholarships and Sponsorships: We remove financial barriers so leaders can access the support they deserve.

Our Philosophy

We believe that leadership development shouldn’t be a luxury—it should be a lifeline. That’s why we offer high-caliber coaching and education to those navigating life’s most difficult seasons.

At the Javelin Institute, we don’t just talk about purpose.
We help leaders live it—on purpose.
