The Energy of Attitude
Alvin Law, CAPS - The Man with No Arms


"It's a feeling"! That's how a delegate described Alvin Law's presentation for a Los Angeles Executive Leadership Group in 2013. "He just makes you think about your own life, what we complain about and what we take for granted. You listen to him but it becomes about you", he went on to say and it accurately explains the essence of a person who is hard to define. At first blush, and when you meet him, you may feel uncomfortable and indeed blush, he is a man without arms. He looks helpless. He looks "disabled". But then, you feel something else...his essence. Alvin Law was one of Canada's first "Thalidomide Babies", the label placed on infants born with deformities caused by the morning sickness medication from the early 1960's. Alvin was born without arms. That is significant! But more significant, it doesn't matter. First, to him, but more importantly, to everyone who meets him.

Of course, he is "Positive"; he is a motivational speaker after all! But as Alvin explains, the attitude he credits for the immense success in his life created the person who became the speaker and his parents were the key to not just his independence but changing his reality. Watching what he does with his feet is almost surreal but how he does he do it? Energy! It is the "Energy of Attitude"!

Alvin has been speaking to groups since 1981. He has spoken to over two million people on five continents. He is a "Certified Speaking Professional" (CSP) and is in Canada's Professional Speaker's Hall of Fame (HoF). He is the author of International Bestseller, "Alvin's Laws of Life". He has the credentials but most important, countless people have described him as the most memorable speaker they have ever heard. Experience an event that will intrigue, inspire and redefine what we all call "normal".
