The Making Point

A leadership journey about resilience, choice, and starting over.

About the Book: The Making Point

The Making Point explores the defining moments when circumstances change and leaders must decide how to move forward.

A “making point” is the moment when comfort disappears, control is tested, and a choice becomes unavoidable. Drawing from military service, recovery after injury, and endurance athletics, Cedric King shares lessons on ownership, discipline, and mental toughness that apply directly to leadership under pressure.

The book challenges readers to recognize their own making points and respond with clarity instead of fear.

Meet Cedric King

Cedric King is a retired U.S. Army Master Sergeant, Purple Heart recipient, endurance athlete, and leadership speaker.

After losing both legs and one arm while serving in Afghanistan, Cedric faced a life-altering making point. His decision to rebuild, compete, and lead forward now informs how organizations and individuals rethink adversity, accountability, and resilience.
