Bush Presidential Library. Brigadier General Patrick Mordenta shared highlights from his career that included Benghazi briefings in Senate Committee hearings, events that led up to his appointment as the Director of the George W. Bush Presidential Library, and experiences at the George W. Bush Presidential Library. We were pleased that a number of husbands, family members, and other guests attended the November meeting!

  • Frontlinefocus February 2015 | Helping and Supporting You to Live Well and Serve Well
    OHIO DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES Frontlinefocus FEBRUARY 2015 | HELPING AND SUPPORTING YOU TO LIVE WELL AND SERVE WELL... How to Reduce Workplace Stress A 40-year-old marketing executive, highly stressed from deadlines and problems at work, developed ulcers and saw his hair turn prematurely gray. One morning, he said, “I’m sick, not happy, getting old and not doing this anymore.” He quit his job and sold his mini-mansion, BMW, plane and boat. He and his wife bought a Volkswagen camper and traveled across the U.S. looking for their next home. They eventually settled in York Beach, Maine, where he writes books and enjoys life. His hair has turned brown again. A sales manager who enthusiastically accepted a position at a major corporation on his first day was greeted by hostile staff members. They were angry because he got the job they each wanted. The rejection felt like a personal defeat. He became depressed and anxious, lost weight and started arguing with his wife. “All of a sudden, I was unsuccessful at my work, and it next time your company downsizes, merges or changes played a number on my head,” says the executive, who’s focus,” says Sue Aiken, chair of the graduate program now the president of a high-tech recruitment firm in in career development in the School of Management of Pleasanton, Calif. John F. Kennedy University in Walnut Creek, Calif. What these two executives had in common was stress We can’t eliminate stress, but there are ways to manage that affected their health and personal lives.
