Summary

Creating Space tells a professional and personal story of healthcare chaplaincy and models the way in which practice development emerges from reflecting on the human story. This book reveals to healthcare, the Church and the community, the unique role of the chaplain’s experiences as a resource to others. It is written for professional practitioners, prompting their own contextual learning and development, whether as chaplains, pastoral carers, parish clergy, lay ministers, volunteers in any caring context, those who work in listening therapies, those who provide care and support to others of any kind, or those who use or teach reflective practice.

 
The authors connect in a straightforward way their view of healthcare chaplaincy as a model of practical theology, based on key practical theologians who see the human story as a source of learning. They outline their own reflective practice tool for learning and share the way in which they see each pastoral encounter as a reflective source of learning. They discover how their experiences have developed the discernment process for chaplaincy vocation, urging the Church to see beyond the parish model in today’s world.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"Empire of the Vampire" by Jay Kristoff tells the story of Gabriel de León, the last of the Silversaints, as he recounts his life to a vampire historian. The narrative is a complex exploration of a world where vampires and humans are locked in a brutal war. Gabriel's story delves into the secrets of his Order, the nature of the Dead, and a hidden history that threatens to destroy everything. 
  
The plot unfolds as he describes his training as a hunter of the dark and his journey through a land consumed by the endless night. He searches for a way to end the darkness, facing betrayals, loss, and the constant fight against his inner demons. The story explores themes of duty, faith, love, and the struggle against overwhelming odds, and the very real consequences of hatred, violence, and the nature of good and evil.

    Why do some people become good leaders, yet never become leaders of influence? Furthermore, do good leaders know their primary function is to influence members of their staff, including their managers, and employees? 
"The most important leadership lessons I have learned in over thirty years of leadership, says Vann, is to influence and develop others around you." 
In order for a good leader to become a leader of influence, they must develop all members of their staff to become leaders. By developing other leaders, the organization as a whole maximizes its human potential, develops a competitive advantage in its industry, and improves its bottom line. 
The fact of the matter is this, no matter whether you are an employee or manager without the title of the leader of a company or organization, you are still a leader in your role. You do not have to have the title of a leader to be one. Leadership Is Influence can help you to become a leader and over time, you can become a leader of influence, you have to do the work to make it happen.
