About Paul Pennant

Helping Executive Assistants and support professionals redesign how work gets done.

Paul Pennant is a Microsoft MVP in Microsoft 365 and Copilot, founder of Today’s PA and a former Executive Assistant.

For over 20 years, Paul has helped Executive Assistants, Personal Assistants, business support teams and office professionals use Microsoft tools more confidently, more practically and more strategically.

His work is not about teaching software in isolation. It is about improving how work actually happens.

That means clearer workflows, better use of Microsoft 365, safer use of AI and Copilot, stronger communication and more effective support for leaders.

From Executive Assistant to Microsoft MVP

Paul’s background as a former Executive Assistant shapes the way he teaches.

He understands the pressure of supporting leaders, managing competing priorities, handling constant communication and keeping work moving when systems are not always designed properly.

That is why his training is practical, direct and built around real work, not abstract theory.

As a Microsoft MVP in Microsoft 365 and Copilot, Paul combines deep Microsoft knowledge with real assistant experience. This makes his approach different from standard technical training.

The EAPA approach

The programme reflects Paul’s core belief: the future assistant role is not just about doing more work faster. It is about understanding how work flows, where technology fits and how to create better systems for leaders and organisations.

This is how assistants become more strategic, more valuable and more confident in a changing workplace.

Why Paul’s training feels different

Paul is known for making Microsoft tools understandable, relevant and immediately useful.
