Testimonials about Evelyn's Speaking

Evelyn is Australia's highest profile expert in school bullying.

Michael Carr Gregg

Evelyn Field's presentation 'Social and Emotional Resilience at Work' was relevant, informative and entertaining. Her presentation examined aspects of resilience from various angles including workplace bullying and associated behaviours and more importantly she provided people with manageable strategies for chance. Evelyn's style generated a relaxed atmosphere which allowed for a forum to openly discuss problem areas and ways in which to improve the work environment. We would wholeheartedly recommend this PD.

Giovina Costantini, Student welfare Consultant, Academy of Mary Immaculate

Thank you Evelyn for your substantial contribution to the National Whistleblowers Conference on Saturday.

Associate Professor Kim Sawyer, University of Melbourne

I am writing to thank you for your participation in the National Safe Schools Week Launch. We were extremely pleased with the event and believe it was in large part due to your ability to connect with the audience and to relate safe schools messages in such an appealing, warm and engaging manner.

Gary Powell, Branch Manager, Performance and Targeted Programmes Branch Department of Education, Science and Training

Evelyn's lecture last night was great, she's a fantastic speaker and managed to hold everyone's full attention for the whole two hours. A difficult feat considering the mix of parents, teachers, and mental health workers. The audience appeared to really appreciate Evelyn's strong, no-nonsense approach, and her experience and commitment to preventing bullying (both in the staff room and the playground) really shone through.

Anna Kouloubos, Co-ordinator, Anxiety Disorders Association of Victoria

Evelyn- thankyou, for your wonderful presentation-very insightful and thorough. I would highly recommend to others!

Psychologist. "Treating victims of workplace bullying." Aug 2008

We attended your Bully Blocking seminar in Auckland (2007). Thank you so much - we both enjoyed it as we found it enlightening - full of practical as well as philosophical ideas, full of information and knowledge. It was also a little scary - the apparent increase in bullying in our schools in NZ and a feeling of uncertainty of what to do next. However after your seminar and after reading your book we are determined to approach this issue in a variety of ways. Bully blocking being one of them. We have a meeting scheduled with our Headmaster shortly to look at ensuring that our school environment continues to be safe one for students and staff.

A Teacher

Just wanted to sat thank you as I had learnt so much from attending the course. You have made a new advocate about changing perceptions in this area about the impacts and approaches to take in this area.

Human Resources consultant. Victorian State Office, Department of Health and Aging.

I think your presentation was excellent and empowering, as were my member who were so impressed that I had difficulty getting them to leave afterwards as they wanted to continue to talk through the issues you raised.

Louise Connor Victorian Secretary Media Arts Alliance.

Evelyn's workshop was energetic and dynamic. She has a thorough knowledge of the subject and delivered practical strategies to deal with bullying in the organisation.

This workshop gave me an understanding of the real life issues of bullying and how to control it. My previous effort with an online course was a waste of time and money.

The day with Evelyn made me believe the organisation really is listening and working to heal the damage done by an ingrained bullying culture.
