Diversity requires commitment. Achieving the superior performance diversity can produce needs further action – most notably, a commitment to develop a culture of inclusion. People do not just need to be different, they need to be fully involved and feel their voices are heard. Alain Dehaze
Empowering those around you to be heard and valued makes the difference between a leader who simply instructs and one who inspires. Adena Friedman
My delivery can be intense, but it’s intense because I need to be heard. I know that people don’t usually listen, as it relates to constructive criticism, without getting offended.

I think its so cool that you can pick up the guitar and create something that didn’t exist 5 minutes ago. You can write something that no ones ever heard before. You have music at your fingertips. Michelle Branch

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter. John Keats
During my travels in Iraq, Israel, Gaza, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Europe and all over the United States, I have seen and heard the voices of people who want change.

I was doing a show at the Comedy Store which Eddie Izzard saw, and we chatted for a bit afterwards.

With Benghazi, I don’t see anyone saying, ‘Hey look, I am overall responsible for this and therefore, I take responsibility for what happened. It’s my fault.’ I haven’t heard that yet.

I had a vision – and I saw white spirits and black spirits engaged in battle, and the sun was darkened – the thunder rolled in the Heavens, and blood flowed in streams – and I heard a voice saying, ‘Such is your luck, such are you called to see, and let it come rough or smooth, you must surely bear it.’ Nat Turner
I was introduced to the Turducken in New Orleans. And it wasn’t Thanksgiving. Glenn at the Gourmet Butcher Block brought it by, and I had never heard of it or had seen one, and they put it in the booth, and it smelled so good that I had to taste it. And it was good. Then Thanksgiving came, and we got one in addition to the traditional turkey. John Madden

This life, which had been the tomb of his virtue and of his honour, is but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. William Shakespeare
Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt. Relevant detail, couched in concrete, colorful language, is the best way to recreate the incident as it happened and to picture it for the audience. Dale Carnegie

Being an outsider means not being heard, not having a voice. It means being treated as a second-class citizen, being diminished in the eyes of others.

That money talks, I’ll not deny, I heard it once: It said, ‘Goodbye’. Richard Armour
I stole everything I ever heard, but mostly I stole from the horns. Ella Fitzgerald

The next minute, she had the rawhide down. Harriet Tubman
At first when I heard about climate change, I was a climate denier. I didn’t think it was happening.

So I didn’t understand how that added up. Greta Thunburg
I am in earnest – I will not equivocate – I will not excuse – I will not retreat a single inch – and I will be heard! William Lloyd Garrison

Seven hundred thousand people who have dementia in this country are not heard. I’m fortunate; I can be heard. Regrettably, it’s amazing how people listen if you stand up in public and give away $1 million for research into the disease, as I have done. Terry Pratchett
I’m half Telugu. My mom is Telugu and dad, a Maharashtrian. I was brought up in Gwalior. I was exposed to English, Hindi, and Marathi. I heard my mom speak to her family in Telugu, so I got the hang of it. Harshvardhan Rane
The best thing about being a DJ is making people happy. There is nothing like seeing people get up from a table to dance or the expression on their face when they hear a song they love. I also love to educate people on music they have never heard. Chelsea Leyland
I’ve heard that Bon Iver liked my cover of ‘Skinny Love.’ Birdy
