“The Art of Possibility - Transforming Professional and Personal Life" by Rosamund and Benjamin Zander.
I'm totally inspired by the fact that Harvard Business School approached conductor Benjamin Zander (Boston Philharmonic Orchestra) and family therapist Rosamund Zander to write this how to book about the practice of possibility. The book was recommended to me by Trevor Goodgoll, a strategic planning expert at wingspanstragies.com. It's anecdotal - so it's a quick read.
‘Finance For the Arts in Canada' Heather Young's book.
Wow - it's about finance and I'm not asleep. Heather writes exactly the way she teaches. Straightforward, smart and totally engaging. She starts with the basic stuff and works up to more advanced concepts. Always good to have on the shelf and it's the book I give to my junior staff so that they can learn about financial applications.

I was a student in the latest cohort at Humber College; the program Jerry is talking about. Heather Young is an inspiring person with an uncanny ability to take a room full of number-fearing arts administrator wannabes and turn them into number-crunching aficionados. Love/d that book, the class, and basically Heather Young is amazing…
I agree. I took her Finance for the Arts course recently and she is definitely a wealth of information. She makes financial management completely undaunting.

Heather has used her text book to teach arts admin students in the post diploma program at Humber College for years, where she was recently selected as “teacher of the year” becuase she could remove ‘the fear of numbers.’
