Ann Dowd
Gender equality has a transformative effect that is essential to fully functioning communities, societies, and economies.
Antonio Guterres

Arne Glimcher

Barry Diller
There's a new set of transformative technologies such as machine learning, AI, and virtual reality that will spawn another set of big tech franchises. But in terms of cultural impact, perhaps we are at peak Valley.

Caterina Fake
Reading 'Moby-Dick' was really a sort of transformative literary experience for me.
The effort to create a work of art that is true and potentially lasting, that is the very best work of art you can create at that point in your life - a book that may only reach or move a few people but will seem to those people somehow transformative. That's the ideal; that's always the motivation.
There is something about the ability to externalize our thoughts and compare them with other people in a public way that is really transformative for the average person.

The key thing is, even if you only have a couple of hours a month, those two hours shoulder-to-shoulder, next to one student, concentrated attention, shining this beam of light on their work, on their thoughts and their self-expression, is going to be absolutely transformative, because so many of the students have not had that ever before.

I want completing the single market to be our driving mission. I want us to be at the forefront of transformative trade deals with the US, Japan and India as part of the drive towards global free trade. And I want us to be pushing to exempt Europe's smallest entrepreneurial companies from more EU directives.
What we're putting forward is the most radical reform of the welfare state... for 60 years. I think it will have a transformative effect in making sure that everyone is better off in work and better off working rather than on benefits.

I wanted to write about the transformative power of small acts of kindness. An old man falls in the street, you stop and make sure he's OK.

I wanted to celebrate that.

The history of Europe over the last several centuries provides clear evidence of the transformative power of commerce.
