Alvin Law's biography

At a glance

  • Hall of fame speaker on mindset and resilience
  • Bestselling author and award-winning musician
  • Raised over $175 million for charity worldwide
Alvin Law is an international keynote speaker, award-winning musician, and bestselling author who has spoken to more than two million people across five continents in a career spanning over four decades. Born without arms as a result of thalidomide, Alvin draws on his experience of learning to navigate the world using his feet instead of hands to show audiences that the stories we tell ourselves about our limitations are often the real obstacle. The subject of three award-winning documentaries, Alvin has helped raise more than $175 million for charity. Alvin is a Certified Speaking Professional and a member of the Canadian Association of Speakers Hall of Fame. He has delivered keynotes to over 7,500 organizations, including TELUS, RBC, Sun Life, Enbridge, and ConocoPhillips. Drawing on storytelling, live musical performance on snare drum and piano, and his signature down-to-earth humor, he builds the case that leadership, responsibility, and resilience are learnable attitudes, not fixed traits. Book Alvin Law to give your audience a genuine shift in how they see themselves and what they believe they can do.

Overcome Anything
Every person in every room carries a story about what they can't do, who they're not, or what the world won't allow them. Alvin Law built a four-decade career dismantling exactly those stories. Drawing on his experience of being born without arms and building a life that defied every prediction made about him, Alvin presents practical tools for cultivating attitudes of personal leadership, responsibility, and resilience. Audiences leave with concrete frameworks for reframing obstacles, recognizing their own value, and stepping into accountability at work and at home. Delivered with humor, live musical performance, and a storytelling depth that makes the lessons stick.

Why we recommend booking Alvin

Alvin's CSP designation and Hall of Fame status reflect consistent delivery across 40-plus years and 7,500 organizations. His Overcome Anything talk gives people practical tools to move past perceived limitations and transform their mindset.

Testimonials

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.

CEO, Excellence Squared Ltd

[...]It 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 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.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

What information do I need to provide when booking a comedian?

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

When booking a speaker, you'll need your event date, audience details, format, key objectives, and budget. Having these ready makes the process smooth and straightforward. PepTalk's team uses this information to match you with the perfect speaker quickly and efficiently.

Can I book entertainment and speakers as a package?

Yes! At PepTalk, you can absolutely bundle entertainment and speakers into one seamless package. It's a great way to create a fuller event experience while enjoying simplified booking and better value. Our team handles everything together, making the process effortless for you.

Can I request autographs, personal greetings, signed merchandise, or fan mail from the speakers?

Sorry, we do not accept requests for autographs, signed merchandise, fan mail, or any non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How can I report an issue or make changes to an expert profile?

If you notice something that needs attention or have any queries regarding an expert speaker profile, please email us at experts@getapeptalk.com, and we’ll be happy to assist.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Help, I need a last-minute speaker for my event!

No problem! We often handle last-minute requests and can secure or replace a speaker, comedian, awards or event host quickly — almost anywhere in the world. However, speaker availability might be limited as the event date approaches. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with your requirements.
