Welcome to the Mastering Copilot & Gemini for EAs Masterclass, where you'll gain hands-on expertise in both Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini - the two AI platforms revolutionizing how Executive Assistants work. Whether your organization runs on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace (or both), this training equips you with the practical skills to harness generative AI across your entire workflow.
This intensive two-day program goes beyond basic introductions. You'll experience live demonstrations, complete hands-on exercises, and build real workflows that you can implement immediately. Each session is designed to be interactive, with opportunities to ask questions, share ideas with fellow participants, and receive direct feedback from an expert trainer.
Day One focuses entirely on Microsoft Copilot, exploring how it enhances Outlook, Teams, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and more. You'll learn the art of effective prompting, discover how to use Copilot chat for research and content creation, and explore advanced features like Copilot Notebooks and Agents.
Day Two shifts to Google Gemini, covering its integration across Gmail, Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, Calendar, and Meet. You'll also get an introduction to NotebookLM - Google's powerful tool for organizing and synthesizing information from multiple sources and explore how to create custom Gems for your specific needs.
By training on both platforms, you'll understand not just how to use these tools, but how to evaluate which AI assistant is best suited for different tasks. This comparative knowledge positions you as the go-to technology resource in your organization - the indispensable Assistant who makes AI work for everyone.

Nicky Christmas is the Founder of The EA Campus. Back in 2011, she launched what would become Practically Perfect PA as a passion project while working full-time as an Executive Assistant to the COO and CFO of a global insurance organisation.
At that time, there were few resources for Assistants, and she wanted to create a platform that not only offered guidance but also reshaped the conversation around the role of Assistants.
Practically Perfect PA quickly became one of the leading voices in the online learning space for Assistants, long before virtual training and digital communities became the norm. Over the last 15 years, her platform has evolved, staying ahead of trends and continuing to provide relevant, cutting-edge content that moves the conversation forward while actively challenging and shifting outdated perceptions of the Assistant role.
As an international speaker and thought leader, she has had the privilege of travelling the world, engaging with thousands of Assistants, and sharing strategies to help them excel.
In 2025, she officially rebranded as The EA Campus, a space designed to cater to the evolving demands of Assistants today. The EA Campus continues to push boundaries, offering virtual summits, online courses, and a thriving community designed to meet the changing needs of Assistants globally.
Her commitment has always been to put the needs of her audience first, ensuring that every Assistant, no matter the stage in their career, has access to the tools, knowledge, and community support they need to thrive.
