This person must be very charismatic. This person must be intelligent so they can poke holes in the ideas they are trying to change. The person must be able to get everyone around them to hear what they are actually saying, not just what others think they are saying. This can be very hard.
Some people have changed the attitudes of people around them by speeches, by writing books, by starting movements, by using music, by scientific advances and by new technology. The examples I can think about are people who changed attitudes for the better.
Martin Luther King, Jr. used his talents from being a Minister to teach what he felt would be the ideal situation for the black skinned people and marched for Civil Rights.
Pete Seeger used his experiences and his music to get people to hear his views about a number of issues, labor unions, civil rights, anti-Vietnam War, pro-human rights, pro-Solar Energy - instead of Nuclear Energy, and to clean the environment.
Thomas Paine wrote a book that others used to justify their fighting against England during the Revolutionary War. There are many others I could name if I think of them.
The catch is people need to be opened up to listen to the ideas before they change their attitudes.

I believe that to change somebody the conscientiser is needed. Me what I would like to change it is dedonner more force with the tolerance around me, to listen, include/understand, not to judge, accept, and then the importance of the love, especially on the level of solidarity and the compassion. So that the others like, it is necessary that they feel liked, I believe that the world is changed when his close relations are changed, his entourage

They're a model. People are able to look at them and see qualities that they admire and want to emulate. Charismatic people, and most leaders have the ability to do it. They cause people to become excited about an idea and spur them to action. Excitement and optimism are contagious. People like that make people feel good about themselves and give them hope.

The power of change lies in the example one must set to effect the change. But patience and perserverance are a must.

they manipulate other's feelings or thoughts.
That is NOT healthy, to let someone manipulate you.
