The Language for Leading is proud to present a series of podcast conversations with highly respected thought leaders. Today Julian welcomes Rita Jakubowski, retired wealth manager with Morgan Stanley with decades of experience in finance and banking. Rita has chosen to discuss the crisis of literacy in this country and beyond its borders.

Today Julian welcomes Rabbi Jennifer Jaech from Temple Israel in Northern Westchester, NY. The topic is one that some choose to avoid. But you have little to fear. The Rabbi offers spiritual as well as practical insight into the death and dying process as we reflect on why we fear something so natural and inevitable. How we come to terms with death is easily as important as how we deal with life.
