About the Author

Helen Vandevelde has worked overseas and in the UK as a lecturer, linguist, manager, writer, broadcaster and marketing consultant. Her writing has been compared to Charles Handy's - welcomed for injecting new thinking into the debate about employability. Helen Vandevelde is now a freelance business consultant. The range and originality of her ideas on human resource management are reflected in her popularity as a keynote speaker at national and international events. The most refreshing aspect of her work is that she lives her message. An archetypal polycontractual worker, she has surfed the cross-currents of uncertainty and opportunity which characterise the information age.
