About Cedric
Crawford

With years of proven success as a top-rated, 5-Star personal and professional development trainer and motivational speaker, I’ve seen firsthand what separates good teams from great ones: Leadership. Many believe leadership is reserved for those with fancy titles, big teams or elite talent, but nothing could be further from the truth. Leadership is for anyone serious about knowing better, being better, doing better and seeing better—both personally and professionally.

Through decades in the speaker and trainer space, I’ve found leadership is the most highly requested and in-demand skill today, yet few have ever been taught the real laws, traits and principles that fuel the world’s greatest leaders and high achievers.

Until now… After extensive research, study and hands-on experience, I developed a groundbreaking system that breaks down elite leadership and success principles into an easy-to-consume, easy-to-digest and easy-to-apply “Successipe” for Growth & Greatness in your space.

Introducing: “Legacy Leadership by The CARDS™” – A Successipe for Making it Great in Your Space!

This innovative, interactive experience uses a simple deck of playing cards as a powerful visual tool to teach timeless leadership laws, skills, traits and practices by the Greats. Because in the leadership game, it’s not about the cards you’re dealt, it’s about how well you can play them.

Sooo… Are you ready to become my next 5-Star Review by turning your stage, ballroom, boardroom, backyard or auditorium into a thrilling, inspiring, educational and growth-filled environment? Don’t wait—book “Legacy Leadership by The CARDS™” today and unlock the greatness within you and your crew too.

Mr. Make It Great is a dynamic and inspirational person who engages the audience from the beginning and keeps the tempo up throughout his presentation. Cedric's delivery is heartfelt and personal creating a unique bond with his audience. Hope, Inspiration, Positivity, Perseverance, Tenacity, and Commitment ALL come forth as Mr. Make It Right takes each of us on a journey to make ourselves better one step at a time. Our conference attendees were literally dancing in the aisles and lining up at the end to spend even more time with Cedric. A rare site I must say, because many of members can seemed to be "untouched". Cedric reached them ALL so they could GROWWW
PAUL C⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mr. Make it GREAT presented to about 120 of my staff at an all staff meeting and every one of them thoroughly and completely enjoyed the program and were engaged. Many commented that they found his material useful both for in the workplace as well as at home/ in personal life. Each of my staff though he was hilarious and even after a large holiday lunch just prior to the meeting- no one feel asleep and no one complained! He did a fabulous job - especially incorporating our mission and vision into his discussion.
Marissa D⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cedric was very easy to work with and accommodating. We had a short amount of time for the keynote in our program but he made it work and brought in the energy needed to start the day. It was an outdoor venue which was a challenge but Cedric started with getting the audience up and energized. That energy was felt the entire time. Would love to have him back for a full keynote next time! Great message to our teachers.
Janet S⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We HIGHLY recommend Cedric Crawford better known as Mr. Make It Great. He took a critical topic of Leadership and made it extremely fun and informative. And at Express Employment Professionals we have had the privilege of hearing well known speakers like Colin Powel, Stephen Covey, and John Maxwell…We would rank Cedric amongst the greats. If you are searching for a speaker that can truly relate to a large audience and get them all on their feet participating and obtaining information that they can put to action, Cedric Crawford is your man.Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Cedric you have made a difference!
Lisa D⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mr. Make it Great was a hit at our event. We brought him in to inspire and motivate our Associates and he sure did that! He also did his homework on our organization and personalized it in a way I have never seen a speaker do. This was definitely an asset to his program!
Diane D⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cedric Crawford is awesome! We were fortunate enough to have him speak to our high school Real Estate Investment/Entrepreneur Club students. Our students were motivated and inspired by Cedric's wealth of knowledge, insight and expertise. Some of the students spoke with me after the presentation expressing an increased interest and excitement as a direct result of Cedric's engaging and powerful sharing. I am always enthusiastic and excited to have Cedric share with my students. I believe that his messages and motivation are life-changing and unforgettable! Thank you Cedric for doing what you do-changing the world one powerful and purposeful presentation at a time.
Gary W⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mr. Make it GREAT was an outstanding speaker and a wonderful addition to our opening event. He made a real connection with our staff and his customer service training really resonated with them. He was very accommodating after having to reschedule due to a covid surge last year. He was on time and communicated appropriately during the planning phase. We were happy to have him as our speaker and will recommend him to anyone considering his program.
Sara M⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
As the saying, “You can’t pour from an empty cup”? In order for us to take care others we have to take care ourselves first. Cedric was able to fill our cups with his wisdom and knowledge about Leadership and Motivation. We were glued from our sits listening and learning. His style of delivery is entertaining, his great recipe to keep us all engaged: dancing, singing, movie clips, it was like a roller coaster ride. Cedric said, we didn’t choose our cards but we still have to learn how to play it. It’s like life, we don’t choose but we find a way to stand strong and live through it. I went home with my cup filled and excited to share it with my team. -Ferdie
Kristine M⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mr. Make It Great was one of the main reasons our event was so successful. From the time we contacted him to the time he completed our event he was engaged and upbeat. He personalized a presentation for our staff of 1200+ over 4 sessions and never missed a beat. He took time out personally to meet with me and my other event coordinators prior to the event and worked with us at every crossroad we came to. We handed him an idea and he ran with it. We have had several staff thank us for having a different kind of speaker this year. They left motivated and ready to reclaim their passion for their job and recognition for their accomplishments and accountability!
Francena M⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cedric is a true professional who listens to your needs and then delivers!! He's energetic, he's a blast to work with. He's engaging and you couldn't ask for more. He was communicative from A-Z. He showed up early when he didn't have to during a rehearsal. He knows his stuff, he understands his craft and came prepared. The audience loved him. Cedric is refreshing on all levels. I highly recommend him! He is Mr. Make it GREAT!
Navid A⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I met Cedric several months ago. I interviewed him for our conference and I knew at "hello" we were going to hire him. Cedric was our opening keynote speaker for our conference of mostly women, over 1000 women attended the event. Cedric helped our conference a great deal, he was instrumental in social media blitzes that we did, and our radio interviews. I knew he was going to be great for our conference. During his opening he had our attendees up, out of their seats, laughing and taking lots of notes. He is not only a joy to be around he is a true professional! You would be lucky to have him at your conference or event!
Colleen B⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cedric was our morning speaker for our high school girls event and he knocked it out of the park! He kicked off our day with high energy, intriguing stories, visual tools, and advice they'll never forget. I watched our junior and senior girls writing down notes furiously as well as our volunteers! He met all of us where we're at and kept us laughing during his entire talk. Cedric was encouraging to our team and kept our attendees engaged. Thank you so much Cedric!
Makenzie H⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mr Make It Great was awesome! Easy to work with and accommodating to our needs. We were a tough audience and he blew our socks off with his style and message. This meeting was just for Managers and we'll entertain bringing Mr Make It Great back to speak to all employees as he was that good! His energy is infectious and this presentation was an exceptional way to start the new year. We could not have been happier!
Ginnie S⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mr. Make it GREAT is 100% pure motivation and inspiration leading to life transformation!!! He inspired, enlightened & educated our students. It isn't t easy to captivate the attention of teenagers, but Mr. Make it GREAT did! He shared heart-warming personal experiences, tied to practical real-life situations, that challenged & motivated our students to aspire to be greater in their pursuit of personal and professional development and success. I highly recommend Mr. Make it Great to any organization, group or individual who wants to be better in life. I can not sing Mr. Make it Great's praises loudly enough. Mr. Make it GREAT truly lives up to his name!!!
Gary W⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Easy to work with, responsive & well-prepared. Appreciate that he reached out to a few attendees in advance to learn about our company and sales team. Attendees included our nationwide Sales team, Senior Management team and Sales Support group. Some feedback from attendees included great energy, funny, entertaining, engaging, relevant, and motivational! Content that struck a chord with several attendees and will be applied to both personal and professional goals. An excellent way to end the meeting. And in the words of one of our attendees, we never thought we’d have the opportunity to see our Senior Management doing the Cupid Shuffle, ever, so thanks for that!
Colleen S⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cedric is a FANTASTIC presenter, our staff enjoyed every minute of his presentation and left feeling TALLER! It was a pleasure working with him prior to the event and he really captured the message of what we wanted our staff to absorb and leave with. As a nonprofit agency we value and strive to make and maintain partnerships and this is nonetheless a great partnership that we hope to continue utilizing to always MAKE IT GREAT!
Carolina R⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cedric captivated our group in both the morning and afternoon sessions. His high energy presentation was just what we wanted to get folks fired up. It was entertaining, engaging, interactive, and informative. Cannot recommend him highly enough.
Judith R⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was very pleased with the interest he took in learning about our attendees prior to the event, by consulting with our staff, researching our org and even taking a tour of our facility. This allowed him to tailor his presentation to our specific population. He was very engaging with the audience. He had great use of props, and positive affirmations. I would have liked to provide these in writing to the attendees. With so much info being provided, printed material would ensure everyone retained the great messages being delivered. Overall, amazing and heartfelt!
Julie J⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mr. MAKE IT GREAT is the most professional yet compassionate speaker we have ever had. He motivated the audience and kept them engaged. He was an awesome asset to the program. I would like to have him join us for another event if his schedule permits. I would also like to suggest to others that need a motivational, phenomenal speaker, please consider hiring Mr. MAKE IT GREAT! Irene Leal
