For Business and Government Audiences

A Crash Course in Life and Change
Everyone’s life is filled with change and challenge. But few of us have had to face a challenge as severe as Al Foxx when a motorcycle crash changed him from an active young man to a brain-damaged, paralyzed adult. Al shares his amazing story of recovery and his “A-B-Cs” for winning: Accepting and Adjusting to Reality, Believing in Ourselves, and Caring about Others. Al’s message, filled with humor and hope, encourages us to be winners no matter what challenges we face.

Delighting in Differences
Dealing with people who are different is a universal problem. Using his own experience of being different, as well as the philosophy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Al Foxx shows how to view every person as extraordinary, so that we can erase the attitudes that divide us. A special version of this inspirational talk is available during Black History Month, or for anyone focusing on racial differences, people with disabilities, and during talks promoting equality between men and women.

For auto dealerships

High-Octane Selling
Meeting car sales quotas can be hard work. Al Foxx brings his ideas about success and applies them to fire up sales teams to meet the challenges they face.

For students—K through college

Always Be Care-Full For younger ages, K-4
Al’s experiences in rehab and with family and friends have shaped his ABC’s into an Always Be Careful message that includes, but is not limited to: Taking safety precautions. Being careful when interacting with strangers. Being care full (full of Care) when interacting with family and friends. Remembering that you are special. You are unique. No one can take your place, so Always Be Careful.

Winners Don’t Quit
Regardless of what age they are or what they are doing, the more confident people are the better they do. Al Foxx tells how a paralyzing motorcycle crash stole his self-confidence and how he learned to restore confidence by filling your own and others’ “self-esteem buckets.” Al shares the power of goals and how he relearned to talk, walk, and drive. “Life,” he says, “is like a book.” His message is: Your life is a book. You are the author. Write a happy ending. With clean humor and stories, Al shows students how to win at life.

By following the sometimes vivid and sometimes hilarious description of Al’s motorcycle accident and his continuing rehabilitation, students of every age learn:

   How you feel about yourself is more powerful than having strong muscles.
   How to make positive additions to the self-esteem bucket.
   How to be happy with yourself and others.
   How to make and keep friends.
   How to see problems as challenges not calamities.
   How to make choices that lead to rewards instead of consequences.
   The value of a good laugh and a sense of humor.

Being a Happy, Confident Teen Can Be Tough
Al’s Winners Don’t Quit talk is a self esteem building talk that helps teens ACCEPT themselves, BELIEVE in their dreams, and CARE about others.  

Black History Month/Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Al speaks on various issues such as the goal of respecting each other as people, not as blacks or whites, not as disabled or athletic, not as men or women, but as people who deserve respect.

For Christian audiences

Al Foxx's Testimony
This presentation can be adapted for any age group.
Al shares how his rehabilitation journey required him to ACCEPT God’s plan for his life and ADJUST to his new reality. In order to keep his spirits up during the grueling years of relearning to walk, talk, drive, and maintain relationships, Al learned to BEWARE of the evil one and BELIEVE God would meet all his needs. ACCEPTING and BELIEVING strengthens Al’s relationship with Jesus Christ and enables him to CRUCIFY his selfish desires and CHOOSE Jesus as his Lord.

Always Be Care-Full For younger ages, K-4
Al’s experiences in rehab and with his Lord have shaped his ABC’s into an Always Be Careful message that includes, but is not limited to:

Taking safety precautions.

Being careful when interacting with strangers.  

Being care full (full of Care) when interacting with family and friends.

Remembering that God made you special. You are unique. No one can take your place
 

Appreciate-Believe-Care For youth, 5th-12th grade
Al’s experiences in rehab and with his Lord have shaped his ABCs into a message where:
A is for Appreciate the gift you’ve been given. Describes how appreciating the things he could do helped him to do things he couldn’t do.

B is for Believe you’ll get out what you put in. Describes how believing he would get out what he put in motivated him to put more in.

C is for Care about yourself and others—specific examples are explored. “How many of you believe your body is God’s temple? If your body is God’s temple, so is everyone else’s, right? What are some ways you can honor God’s temple?” (Explore their answers and how Jesus’ treated people.)
 

Confident Christians For college age and older
Al’s experiences with his Lord have shaped his ABCs into a message of hope outlined by these ABCs:
Accept God’s Plan for your life.

Believe he’ll meet all your needs.

Crucify your selfish desires. “Sounds like Christianity is another word for transformation. It is, but don’t hear me wrong. God loves us just the way we are, but he loves us too much to leave us the way we are. In other words, a real relationship with God transforms us into what He wants us to be.
 

A Crash Course in Faith All ages
Since everyone has had their own version of a motorcycle crash, Al's simple 3 step process of developing a relationship with God is widely appreciated. Al calls his three steps the "ABC of Christianity:
Accept God's plan for your life.

Believe He'll meet all your needs.

Choose Jesus as the Lord of your life.
 

Delighting in Differences and Disabling Disability Myths: Al shows how attitudes of racism and prejudices effect how people sometimes relate to those who are disabled physically, financially, emotionally or any other way. His talk brings a new positive way of seeing people who are different than us.
 

Comedy Routines
Al also does professional comedy routines that as a Singles or Youth Group Leader, you will not be embarrassed he spoke at your event.  As a Church Leader you will be pleased with the entertainment he provides and happy with the reaction of his audience.
