The Leadership Behind KSL ConsultinG

Our Founder

Niki Da’Jon, MBA, is the founder of KSL Consulting and a trusted leader at the intersection of education, business, and workforce development. With more than a decade of experience spanning early education systems, organizational leadership, and business operations, Niki is known for helping leaders move from reactive management to intentional, sustainable growth.

Her work is grounded in both strategy and real-world practice. Niki holds undergraduate and master’s degrees in business administration and brings a disciplined, business-minded approach to education and mission-driven organizations. She began her career in early education operations and leadership, where she identified a common challenge: strong missions unsupported by the business systems needed to sustain them. That insight continues to inform her work today.


In addition to leading KSL Consulting, Niki is the Founder and CEO of Career Training Group, a workforce development and training organization that has supported hundreds of educators and programs across Louisiana and beyond. Through this work, she has partnered with state agencies, workforce systems, and education leaders to design scalable solutions that strengthen organizations and the people within them.


At KSL Consulting, Niki works closely with executives, administrators, and organizational leaders across education and business sectors, providing leadership development, strategic planning, and organizational alignment support. Her approach is practical, relational, and rooted in the belief that strong leadership and sound systems are essential for long-term impact.

"When we began working with KSL Consulting, we carried a big vision: expanding Trinity Learning Academy of NOLA to serve more children, support more families, and strengthen the early childhood workforce in our community… Translating that vision into strategy, structure, and sustainability required guidance. Partnering with KSL has felt like having a thought partner who truly understands both the heart and the systems behind early childhood leadership… Because of this partnership, our expansion project feels more grounded, more strategic, and more possible. I would recommend KSL to any early childhood leader and any business owner."

“Working with KSL Consulting has been a highly impactful experience. Niki supported us in cultivating our leadership strengths, identifying areas for growth, and focusing on the depth of our work rather than the breadth. She brought valuable insight and created a space that became a catalyst for meaningful change — both for us as leaders and for the partners we work with. Her ability to blend deep expertise with real-world application made the work both challenging and actionable."
