Persuasion
"It is impossible to escape persuasive speaking, and persuasion has consequences. Change can occur when persuasion takes place. Persuasion is the process that occurs when a communicator (sender) influences the values, beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors of another person (receiver). . . .To fully understand persuasion, we need to understand influence and motivation." Hybels & Weaver, Communicating Effectively, p. 458)
