This week's conversation features, Alvin Law.
“Change The Label” is both Alvin’s Signature Keynote and his lifelong pursuit. No surprise it’s also the title of an incredible Goalcast Video about Alvin that’s surpassed 30,000,000 views on Facebook alone.
Alvin Law is a world class, Canadian Hall of Fame speaker who simply redefines the word "Can't"​! He has been making his impression on over 7,500 companies, associations and schools since 1981 and has spoken to over 2,000,000 people. He is a best selling author, exceptional musician, professional broadcaster and has had a direct role in raising nearly $200,000,000 for charity. Oh, and he was born without arms. Alvin has coined the phrase..."First impressions count, the lasting impression is everything!"​
You see when people first see Alvin, they can't help but notice his "condition"​. He was born without arms due to the infamous morning sickness medication, "Thalidomide"​ and he was quickly written off. Yet his story turned out completely opposite and Alvin credits the amazing power of positive attitude as the key. But not just his. Alvin was raised by elderly foster parents who made him see a different future and attended public schools in an era when that rarely happened. A band director taught him trombone and he also learned to play drums and piano. He is the example so many companies and associations are searching for to take their organizations to levels that seem impossible. After working with Alvin, you and your group will be inspired to see "Possibilities" instead of obstacles.
