Mr. Make it Great, a.k.a. Cedric Crawford, is a highly recommended speaker who offers incredible energy and insight to motivate any program or person to be the best they can be. He can customize his presentation to connect with any intended audience ranging from "at-risk to college bound students, " Fortune 500 companies to budding entrepreneurs." He uses so many props and engaging teaching methodologies that no one will walk away without a "bread crumb" that will undoubtedly help them personally and professionally. The Mr. Make it Great brand allows people to continue their journey by plugging into his weekly podcasts, read his books, or connect daily.

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!

Looking forward to continuing working with Cedric to help motivate, inspire and bring the greatness in our organization both professionally and personally! Thank you Cedric!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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

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!

My company had the pleasure of experiencing a presentation by Cedric R Crawford. Mr. Crawford gives a presentation that is engaging and motivating while offering insight into one’s untapped dreams and how to achieve them. His audience left inspired to reach for the stars and turn their lives into a positive journey. Mr. Crawford is a talented presenter and his audience as well as my fellow employees are still talking about his wonderful presentation. We will definitely have Mr. Crawford back in the future.

Mr. Make it Great was an awesome speaker for our Umoja Summer Bridge Program Kick-off Breakfast. He left me with a number of easy to recall talking points that I can reference throughout our 6 week program and also motivated me personally to continue to push myself to ensure that our students get my very best every day. Lastly, he not only inspired our students but also the parents and community members in attendance. He delivered a high energy, interactive speech that engaged the audience from the beginning. I look forward to having him out to future events without a doubt. Absolutely a great job--5 stars!

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!
