Recommended by Jodie Mears

Jodie Mears recommends the Executive Assistant Productivity Architect Programme

Advanced professional development for experienced Executive Assistants who want to use Microsoft 365, Copilot, AI and automation to redesign how work gets done.

Jodie has shared EAPA because it is built specifically for experienced assistants who want to move beyond AI tips and individual software features and start improving the workflows behind modern executive support.

The programme is delivered live by Paul Pennant, Microsoft MVP in Microsoft 365 and Copilot, former Executive Assistant and founder of Today’s PA.

Why Jodie has shared EAPA

Most experienced assistants are not short of effort. The problem is often the systems surrounding the work.

Requests arrive through Outlook, Teams, meetings, forms and conversations. Actions are followed up manually. Information lives in different places. Tasks depend on memory. Microsoft 365 is available, but its tools are not always connected into a coherent way of working.

Too much manual administration
Too much chasing and follow up
Too many disconnected tools
Too much information held in the EA’s head
Uncertainty about where AI and automation genuinely help

The EAPA difference

You learn to understand the work, identify the friction and design the better workflow before deciding whether Microsoft 365, Copilot, AI or automation should be used.

What changes after the programme

EAPA is designed to change how you work, not simply increase what you know.

Build clearer workflows across Microsoft 365
Reduce repetitive manual work
Improve actions, follow through and visibility
Use Copilot and AI with stronger professional judgement
Identify practical opportunities for automation
Make better use of existing Microsoft 365 licences
Support your executive more strategically

You will build a real workplace improvement

Your Productivity Architecture Project

EAPA is not a certificate for simply attending training.

To graduate, you apply the learning to a real workflow. You identify the existing problem, redesign the process, select the appropriate technology and demonstrate the value created.

Map the current process
Identify friction, duplication or risk
Design the improved workflow
Apply Microsoft 365, AI or automation where appropriate
Consider permissions, governance and human review
Demonstrate time saved, risk reduced or value created

Graduate recognition

Successful participants are awarded the EAPA Grad designation, recognising completion of the Executive Assistant Productivity Architect Programme.

The Productivity Architecture Framework

EAPA gives you a repeatable eight stage framework for improving work.

Discover
Map

Design

Build

Firstly, we signed up with Paul as we have trained with him before and truly benefit from his targeted and relevant training for us as assistants. Secondly, we had no idea about AI/Chat GPT, and I mean absolutely no idea.  We were mind blown within about 5 minutes of this course started (but in a really good way), and stayed totally engaged for the entire duration of the training – there is so much to learn, but Paul helped guide us through what would be useful for us to build into our working lives, and give us a good grounding in what is, and will be, a phenomenally fast growing area.  Everyone needs to learn this stuff.
This Minute-Taking Course is an absolute game-changer for EAs. Paul was knowledgeable and engaging, demonstrating the very latest technological insights, and showing us how to use AI to streamline transcription, summarization, and organization to save time and create first class work products. The excellent materials and personalized feedback made this a truly transformative learning experience. Highly recommend!
Paul Pennant's AI online course was truly eye-opening! It revealed a wealth of knowledge that had me so engaged, I was up till 4am reflecting on everything I had learned. As an Office Manager and Events Coordinator for a large property company, I can already envision numerous occassions where AI will simplify aspects of my role - streamlining tasks, improving efficiency, and allowing me to focus on expanding in other areas. The content was insightful, practical, and expertly delivered - I feel empowered and excited to apply these new AI skills. Highly recommend🚀
