Alvin J. Law Biography

In 1981, Alvin Law officially started speaking to schools and organizations throughout Canada. Unofficially, he started his speaking career as a young child when he was encouraged by his parents to explain to others “what happened to you?” Today Alvin is one of North America’s most highly-sought after inspirational speakers and travels throughout Canada, the US and around the world.

To say Alvin Law is disabled wouldn’t offend him or be inaccurate; after all he was born without arms due to the infamous morning sickness drug, Thalidomide. Today, he is completely independent and most often is described as “amazing,” as opposed to “disabled.” People often assume his program must be yet another example of a “Handicapped Speaker.” These kinds of perceptions and labels have actually been Alvin’s biggest obstacles.

Yet what Alvin has accomplished in the face of such challenges makes him a real life expert in a world full of real-life obstacles. Alvin was born in 1960, so his insight from living through such a dynamic period in history has also made him one of the foremost experts on adaptation, change, diversity and perspective. This is more than just marketing hype. Alvin’s story is real and one that is impossible to forget but not simply because of his difference; “Alvin is us!” was a description used by a witness to his phenomenal show (it is so much more than a speech).

In fact, many have described him as a master storyteller, and he has great stories. His sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, but always honest observations about the human experience connects him with his audience in a very rare way. He allows his audience to feel both the pain and elation that all human beings experience regardless of the circumstances of their birth and he definitely makes people reconsider the excuses they make in their daily lives.

Having said all of this, Alvin’s presentation is more than just a warm & fuzzy story. Combining lessons from his remarkable life of being born without arms with his unique insight into personal business attitudes, Alvin has developed a series of proven strategies for enhancing and sustaining employee production and job satisfaction on both an individual and corporate level. Audiences learn how to apply these time-tested techniques to ignite their own vision and execute their strategies to enhance overall job performance as well as increase personal satisfaction.

Professional corporations look to Alvin to motivate their employees to achieve new and higher levels of commitment to their jobs, their communities and their lives. In the current economic climate our clients have found that receiving Alvin’s message is more important than ever. Companies are constantly facing a lack of positivity in the workplace. Alvin’s words and philosophy go a long way to counteract this. As Alvin has always believed; “All professional development starts with personal assessment and taken together, everyone wins!”

Alvin’s message is universal and transcends all the usual “motivational clichés.” His story is not industry specific and applies to everyone and anyone regardless of age, culture, position in society or role in the world. Alvin is truly a bridge-builder.

The beauty of Alvin’s stories and unique style is it allows him to customize his keynote to any theme. Alvin works closely with the event organizers to personalize his presentation to match the goals of the event. But be prepared – Alvin’s message touches everyone differently. It becomes so personal it changes from Alvin’s story to your story and becomes the message you need to hear right now. Inevitably it reaches into your heart and sole and stays with you for the rest of your life. Alvin constantly meets people who deliberately approach him, say his name and recount their experience with his program, as long as 30 years ago. By the way, they always mention the drums, which is the major reason he still plays one in his show. Indeed the image of Alvin playing the drums and the piano with his feet becomes a touchstone that will inspire you again and again.
