Step into Your Greatness™
Be inspired. Push through obstacles. Create more possibilities.
Every single person walks around with an invisible label stuck to their forehead.
It’s like one of those nametags you get at awkward networking events. Except that these labels don’t tell people your name. Instead, they describe your limitations.
As a guy without any arms, I’ve worn a lot of labels in my life. “Disabled.” “Victim.” “Freak.” Good and bad, I’ve heard them all.
All these labels were given to me by other people. People who sized me up and figured me out without asking me a single question.
People who knew exactly what I could do and, more importantly, what I couldn’t.
Most of us live up to these labels. We accept what other people say about us as gospel truth. “Well, I guess I’ll never [fill in the blank],” we sigh, choosing to be restrained by these limitations.
But I believe that it doesn’t have to be that way. I believe that we can change those labels.
In your customized presentation, I will inspire you and your team to stop focusing on what’s missing and start seeing all the possibilities that are within your reach.
Yes, I’ll be entertaining. Yes, I’ll also be encouraging. However, don’t be fooled: I’m here to challenge you and your team to rip off those old labels. Because you have the power to create a new future and overcome any obstacle that stands in your way.

Safety Counts Because Everybody Counts
Alvin Law has been challenging perceptions and attitudes his entire life. He is actually one of Canada’s first “Thalidomide Babies”. This description was tied to a drug from the early 1960’s used to treat morning-sickness in expectant women. The drug company claimed it was safe; the testing process was almost non-existent; and the result was thousands of lives irreversibly damaged by something that could have easily been prevented. But that was then.
Focus on safety in the workplace has been around a long time but it still faces resistance by some workers as being a “waste of time” or something else cooked up by the human resources department to get in the way of my job.
Well, if you ask Alvin Law, maybe the Good Old Days weren’t really so good. We live in a new and uncharted world where things like our attitude towards our job really matters and Alvin Law should know. He may not be a safety expert but he is certified in life, one that hasn’t always been easy.
Alvin has no arms. He was also written off by experts who said he would have no quality of life. But today, he is married, a dad, and owns a communications company that has taken him to five continents where he has spoken to over two million people. His message is simple…attitude makes a difference and he is living proof. He is so much more than a predictable story of overcoming challenges.
When Alvin is in the room, he has an incredibly energy but his presence also exhibits a harsh reality…he has no arms! It is a reminder to all who attend his safety sessions that life is not bulletproof. It is frail, and it is valuable.
Alvin uses the stories of his life to contrast the failures and success of humanity. Some stories are truly sad but that’s not what people remember about Alvin. They will never forget that although life can be tragic, it doesn’t have to be and as to safety…maybe it is a good idea after all.
