I’m Dr. D.J. Moran, and I founded Pickslyde Consulting to help professionals and organizations harness the power of behavioral science to improve performance, strengthen leadership, and drive meaningful results. For over two decades, I’ve worked with executives, teams, and high-stakes industries, using Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACTraining) to help individuals stay focused, make strategic decisions, and perform at their best—even under pressure.

Beyond my work with Pickslyde Consulting, I’m an associate professor at Touro University and co-founder of its Doctor of Psychology program. I’ve authored multiple books, including Finding Your Why and Finding Your Way and Breathe and Bring the Heat, and I’ve been featured on The Learning Channel, Animal Planet, and The Oprah Winfrey Network discussing evidence-based behavior change strategies. When I’m not helping organizations fine-tune leadership and workplace performance, you’ll find me enjoying time with my family, friends, and a killer heavy metal soundtrack.

The name Pickslyde comes from the pick slide, a guitar technique that signals an exciting shift in sound and energy. In the same way, Pickslyde Consulting helps organizations create meaningful change—fine-tuning leadership, improving workplace performance, and driving lasting success.
