Welcome to DK Young Consulting

Damon Young is on a mission to ignite and sustain transformation with his gift for connecting divergent ideas into a unifying vision and paths forward.

In 2025 Damon launched DK Young Consulting, a boutique consultancy focused on vision casting and strategy, executive mentoring, and public speaking. Young brings a wide aperture of experiences to view his community of 30 years, including ministry, commercial construction, development (Economic, Community and Workforce) and nonprofit work. He previously served as Chief Business Officer at the Kansas Leadership Center and currently serves as contract CEO for Lead Wichita.

As the board chair of the Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce in 2022, he was a champion of civic trust through meaningful dialogue. A former All-American collegiate debater, he still loves a good argument, especially if it involves basketball or Star Wars. Young currently serves as the Executive in Residence at Friends University Business School, his alma mater. He is a devoted husband, father of five, poet, and podcast enthusiast who believes in the power of faith, curiosity and hopeful imagination. He’s always looking for ways to inspire, empower, and move people toward a greater vision for themselves, their families, and our communities.

"Damon Young is a rare combination of visionary and executor. He provides immediate clarity, aligns diverse stakeholders, and then develops simple, scalable systems that translate vision into measurable results. He’s a catalyst who fosters momentum without drama, a connector who fosters genuine collaboration, and a disciplined leader who delivers measurable results. Our organization moves faster, communicates more effectively, and achieves more because of Damon’s leadership."

Josh Pearce, Board Chair-Lead Wichita
