What exactly is “sigfluence?” The word was coined by author and academician John F. Loase in 1984 to mean significant, long-term, positive influence. He believes it is also a fundamental human need that has been widely overlooked. 

After more than 20 years of research, Dr. Loase has recently come to a significant conclusion regarding his studies; he found that 18- to 25-year-olds have an especially high need to affect sigfluence. But to reach their full potential in this area, The Sigfluence Generation needs guidance from the Baby Boomer Generation. 

The author believes we can transform America by focusing on sigfluence in business, education, politics, and in our personal lives. Dr. Loase reports, “Sigfluence is a key concept to positively transform America. I was amazed at the potential and need for Sigfluence that I found among the 542 college students we surveyed over three years.” 

According to Kyung-Soon Ryu, business major at Concordia College, “I changed my viewpoint after I met Dr. Loase. Now I want to become an accountant who positively affects and helps others.” Says Father Richard Dimler, editor of Thought-Fordham University, “(Sigfluence) will make a real impact and Dr. Loase is to be commended for his fine work.”
