Monday Morning Mantra - 05/10

Good morning!

What an awesome weekend!  I had a great time celebrating the grand opening of the Youth Dreamers Center in Baltimore on Saturday (this is an amazing organization by the way!), got together with some of my married girlfriends for great discussions and food that evening, and then spent the day with my mom on Sunday walking through a nature preserve (I know, I know). 

However, I was saddened this morning by news that the amazing actress, Lena Horne, has passed away at age 92.  She lived an amazing, full life so I thought we could be inspired this week by her words of wisdom on being a top-knotch professional:

"Always be smarter than the people who hire you.." -- Lena Horne

This week, make sure you're staying sharp at work. Do you know the latest industry trends? Do you conduct research on your customers? Can you name the major players in your field?
