brought around

Changed their mind

Brought around means caused to regain consciousness or recover: The paramedics brought him around with smelling salts.

It also means persuaded someone to change their position: She was skeptical at first, but we brought her around.

A third sense involves delivering or presenting something: He brought the car around to the front entrance.
