What it do
Pedantic O’Brien exists because my boss rolled his eyes at me for the umpteenth time regarding my peccadilloes of the written word. So I took my show on the road. My eyes have rolled enough times at people's ineffective writing and presentation, that I need to do something about it. Specifically, people saying things they don’t mean, meaning things they can’t explain, and mistaking confidence for strategy. See below for possible testimonials:
“Pedantic O’Brien was brutal, but right.”
— Every client, eventually (probably)
“I hated this process, until it worked.”
— A reformed optimist (maybe)
How This Is Different:
- I promise fewer embarrassing sentences and better decisions.
- I ask questions designed to end arguments (or start them).
- I am barely dynamic, and theoretically impactful.
- I am not here to validate your instincts. I am here to correct them.
- I do not run workshops designed to “spark creativity.”
- I do not promise disruption, virality, or exponential growth.
- I will not sell you vibe coding or other schlock.
If that sounds less exciting, good. It usually works.
