Alvin did an exceptional job opening the Fraser Valley Economic Summit. He was entertaining, inspiring, and made his message relevant to the theme of the day. The delegates loved him, and the organizing committee was thrilled with what he brought to the event. I can’t imagine anyone who would have done a better job opening our event and setting the tone for the day!

Inspirational speaker challenging mindset, attitude, and personal responsibility

Alvin Law is an inspirational speaker who challenges audiences to rethink how they see themselves, others, and the world around them. Born with no arms due to the drug Thalidomide, Alvin does not focus on limitations, but on possibilities. His message is not about surviving without arms, but about living as a proactive, compassionate, and engaged human being. Through powerful storytelling, humour, and music, Alvin invites people to move beyond excuses and self-imposed barriers and take responsibility for the attitudes that shape their lives and work.

Alvin Law – A Speaker Who Redefines Attitude

Alvin Law’s life story is extraordinary, but his message is grounded, practical, and deeply relatable. Born with no arms, Alvin was adopted by a family who taught him to use his feet as hands. In doing so, they gave him freedom, independence, and a belief that attitude shapes outcomes. Alvin does not ask audiences to admire his resilience; he challenges them to examine their own perceptions, assumptions, and excuses. His keynote presentations focus on how attitude influences behavior, decisions, relationships, and results.

Attitude as a Skill, Not a Slogan

Central to Alvin Law’s work is the idea of an “Attitude Revolution.” This is not about motivational clichés or forced positivity. Alvin makes it clear that attitude is how we interpret life as a whole. It is a learnable skill that requires awareness, practice, and honesty. Through real-life examples and personal reflection, Alvin shows audiences how to move from reactive thinking to proactive choice-making. His message resonates because it is authentic and rooted in lived experience, not theory.

Rewriting the Stories We Tell Ourselves

Alvin uses his story to help people recognize the negative narratives they carry about themselves. He challenges audiences to stop seeing themselves as victims of circumstance and instead become active participants in their own lives. By shifting perspective, people learn to replace excuses with responsibility and intention. This approach empowers individuals to take meaningful action in both their personal and professional lives, regardless of their starting point.

A Unique Fusion of Story, Music, and Humor

What sets Alvin Law apart as a speaker is his ability to connect on an intimate and individual level. His presentations combine compelling storytelling, down-to-earth humour, and live musical performance. This fusion creates an atmosphere where audiences feel both inspired and understood. Alvin’s warmth and authenticity allow people to engage deeply with his message, making it memorable long after the event ends.

Proven Impact Across the Globe

Over 7,500 organizations on five continents have booked Alvin Law to ignite engagement and transformation. His audiences range from corporate leaders and frontline teams to educators, healthcare professionals, and community organizations. Alvin’s credibility is reinforced by his designation as a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), an honour held by fewer than ten percent of professional speakers worldwide. In 2009, he was inducted into the Canadian Association of Speakers Hall of Fame, recognizing his lasting impact on the speaking profession.

Beyond the Stage

In addition to being a professional speaker, Alvin Law is a trained broadcaster, award-winning musician, fundraiser, and bestselling author. He has appeared in countless media features and has been the subject of two award-winning television documentaries. Alvin has also played a direct role in raising over $175,000,000 for charitable causes. These experiences add depth and credibility to his message, reinforcing his belief that individuals can leave the world better than they found it.

Customer Reviews

Alliance Public & Government Relations

I just wanted to send you a short note to tell you how wonderful you were as a keynote speaker at the conference which was held in Toronto. I have to admit that I have been going to the Million Dollar Round Table for many years, and have not heard a speaker like you, who motivated an audience to the degree that you did that evening. To be born with no arms, and to maintain the attitude that you’ve done over the years, is absolutely remarkable. You have certainly turned your handicap into an asset for you, and this message should be heard by all people throughout the world.

Manulife Conference

I wanted to extend my sincere thanks to you for the incredible and powerful presentation that you gave at the 2010 CAAR Convention. Having lived in Saskatchewan since the mid-seventies, I have had the opportunity to see you at many events and have personally witnessed the change of a gangly, awkward youth with, as you would state yourself, a very bad mullet, to a man who can speak with conviction and power about overcoming adversity and truly making a difference in the world we live in. My career allows me to hear from many motivational speakers, all of whom deliver a message that one can certainly garner a message or some type of self improvement from, but is has been a long time since I have had the privilege to not only be entertained but to hear from someone who bears no malice towards anyone, blames no one for their own personal situation but delivers a simple message of how anyone can truly make a difference in this life.

I’m not a huge fan of motivational speakers – I firmly believe that you can’t impose motivation on others, it has to come from inside them. Alvin owns his own motivation, and ignites it in others because he models the behaviour he speaks about. He lives it every day. He doesn’t tell people to change – they want to change after seeing him.

Keynotes

KEYNOTE BY SPEAKER ALVIN LAW:

Overcome Anything

No matter who we are or what our job title is, one thing is true: we are all the leaders of our own lives. We are all creative problem solvers, and we all have unique value we bring to our personal and professional relationships. Thing is, we don’t always remember this about ourselves…or about our friends, family, co-workers, employees and team members. Caught up in the day-to-day grind, it’s pretty easy to forget.

Personal leadership? Responsibility? Resiliency? They are attitudes. And these attitudes can be learned by anyone. They can become habits we practice at work and at home, in our personal and professional relationships. And they can become tools we draw on to successfully face, and overcome, any challenge.

Combining lessons from his remarkable life of being born without arms with his unique insight into personal and workplace challenges, Alvin has developed a series of proven strategies for enhancing and sustaining attitudes of leadership, responsibility and resiliency both on the job and in your personal life. You’ll learn how to apply these time-tested techniques to spark your creativity, recognize your value and the value of those around you, and step into your natural role as leader in your own life.

Alvin’s humorous, high-energy, emotionally uplifting and unforgettable presentation is suitable for any organization from the boardroom to the factory floor, to any association or group looking for a unique and unforgettable keynote and life changing experience.

Always highly customized to the event, Alvin’s presentation is perfect for an Opening or Closing Keynote; Customer or Employee engagement and appreciation events; or helping your team prepare mentally and emotionally for team building or upcoming organizational changes. Alvin also rocks at Awards Ceremonies and Convention Luncheons and Evening Banquets.

And of course, in every presentation Alvin illustrates how to go beyond limits by performing his signature (and hugely popular) snare drum and piano musical performances.
