About Mary Ann Matthews

My Story

A certified handwriting analyst since 1994, Mary Ann Matthews is the owner of handwriting.ca. Having a background in Human Resources, Mary Ann’s area of expertise is in compatibility issues – whether it’s learning about that new person in your life, hiring a nanny for your children or hiring a new employee, building a team, or finding out why a person gets along better with some people rather than others. “Handwriting is really ‘brain’writing”, she says.  “We can’t run away from our brain, no matter how hard we try.” Mary Ann conducts workshops, seminars, presentations, and keynote speeches. Over the past 28 years, Mary Ann has spoken to a wide variety of audiences. She often is quoted as saying, “It doesn’t matter if we print or write. That trail of ink that we leave as our pen travels across the page really does tell our story.”

TEAM BUILDING

The Compatibility Challenge!

It’s no secret that we are all different. Many times we may shake our heads and wonder why some people act and say the things that they do.

In order to achieve a better understanding of ourselves, our colleagues, and the people in our lives, it is critical to unlock the secrets behind the different types of behaviour. Becoming aware of the
variety of ways that we operate in our own world is critical. Everyone has a different model of the world and these differences quickly become clear to us through the handwriting or printing that we produce.

If you are interested in learning the secrets behind the masks that some of us wear and of gaining a greater understanding of ourselves at the same time, then this workshop is for you. Through the analysis of our own handwriting/printing, we will discover together a lot of character traits that unlock the secrets to the following:

  • Why do I get along well with one colleague and become irritated with another?
  • How do I stop those gremlins from chattering in my ear at night?
  • Am I sending out positive or negative signals?
  • Not everyone is a team player. Who is and who isn’t?
  • No one listens to me!
  • Are they lazy, or is it just me?
  • Who are the sensitive ones?

At the end of this workshop, you will have the answers to these secrets and many more. You will be able to maximize your ability of getting along with others and reducing and/or eliminating conflicts.

“…… that trail of ink that you leave as your pen travels across the page really does tell your story ………”
