Hello and welcome to The Confidence Club.
My name is Mary Eland and I have been helping people change their lives for the last ten years
Let me tell you a little bit about myself; I didn’t particularly like school and left with very few qualifications and ended up working in a chemists shop. Realising that wasn’t what I wanted to do for the rest of my life I took steps to get another job, then another, and then another.
I had no idea what I wanted to do so just kept flitting from one job to another until I got the opportunity to get involved with training YTS students and that’s when I realised what I wanted to do – help others develop themselves (which, at the same time helped me develop).
Eventually I went back to college and qualified in Human Resources and became a HR manager. After four years generalist HR work I decided to specialise in training and set about gaining a ‘training’ role within an organisation, and succeeded.
Unfortunately, (or rather fortunately for me), one year later the whole department was made redundant. I saw my chance and took it – I became self-employed and have been running my own training business, now called Believe Training & Development, for the last 10 years.
Over the last ten years I have trained people from all walks of life and organisations: from aspiring Team Leaders to Company Directors, from engineering companies to the Military.
The Confidence Club is the personal development side of Believe T&D which specialises in professional development, but both are very much linked.

Since going self-employed I realise even more the importance of self development and have qualified in clinical hypnotherapy and more recently as a Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)Practitioner - giving me more tools and techniques to help others change their lives.
