Evelyn M Field OAM, FAPS has spoken to many different audiences around the world, from Vietnam, U.S.A, U.K, Norway, France, Japan to South America, ranging from students, professionals to executives. She is a practising psychologist, a Fellow of the Australian Psychological Society, professional speaker, best-selling author and has had over 45 years of media experience! In 2014 she was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for her school and workplace bullying initiatives.

Evelyn has been a cruise-ship presenter since 2016 and believes that passengers want meaningful topics, evidence-based facts, humour, local travel stories and simple, practical ideas that they can implement immediately! They also prefer a chattier style of presenting, like a television presenter. Recently she has begun combining her many years of extensive travel with her psychology skills to develop travel-related, culturally sensitive topics, such as “The Art of Travel”, “The Joy of Food”.

“One of the highlights of the holiday were your informative and grounding presentations that gave perspective and understanding to our life each day. I loved your take on life with the daily challenges that are frequently placed before us and the strategies you offered to flatten out some of the highs and lows in life. Thankyou again for your insights. Your guidance made sense and brought sanity to our crazy mixed-up world. You have certainly allowed me to realign my personal compass and make lifestyle changes that improve the quality of the life I choose to live."
Passenger, February 2023
