Change Your Mind...Change Your Life Wrap Up



We had so much fun this past week as B.L. Brown shared so much information with us. It was fantastic having you with us B.L. and it's sad to see you go. Don't forget to follow the rest of B.L's tour to continue to learn more. Thanks so much B.L.


Halo-Orangees: Book Provides On-the-Job Survival Manual, Mindset Enhancer and Stress Reliever for Employers & Employees.

The message from author B.L. Brown is simple – Don’t let anyone confine you to a box and disable your growth.

Memphis, TN – With the modern employer/employee relationship proving hard to juggle at best, author B.L. Brown has stepped in to improve the mind-sets and results for both parties with her new book, ‘Halo-Orangees employer-employee "one accord" Volume I One Mind, One Body, One Team’.

The objective of the book is to take the most difficult on-the-job conflicts and use them as a platform to show others that they shouldn’t let anyone disable their growth by ‘confining them to a box’. Having already improved the working lives of thousands of people, Halo-Orangees is proving a vital text for anyone in the work arena.

Official Synopsis:

Is your work environment infected with the dysfunctional "I" and ME" Team Virus? "I" and "Me" are the driving forces behind dysfunctional organizational employer-employee relationships. 

This book embodies the message that all human beings have a purpose and can rise above any situation or circumstance as long as they remain ethically true to themselves.

As you journey through this book, you will experience a multiplicity of real life work encounters such as, "A manager espoused her opinion that lower-paid employees should serve higher-paid employees". In this encounter, the manager also stated, "higher-salaried staff members are not paid to clean coffee pots" (Excerpt~ B.L. Brown). Halo-Orangees book is a movement with encouraging straightforwardness; Author B.L. Brown confronts real-life workplace issues occurring in organizations world-wide (negativity, drama, power struggles, backstabbing, and endless gossip). The Introduction is entitled, "Don't Allow Anyone to Confine You to a Box, Disabling Your Growth".

Halo-Orangees is a nonexclusive on the job survival manual, mindset enhancer, and stress reliever for both employers and employees. This book will change your life both personally and professionally.

As the author explains, the views of others should not form the bench-mark of how a person works.

Don’t ever allow anyone to attack your self-esteem, kill your passion, or tell you that someone else is more worthy than you,” says B.L. Brown.

Since its launch, the book has garnered a consistent string of five-star reviews.

Halo-Orangees employer-employee "one accord" said exactly what many of us think, but has never verbalized. It has a lot of information that's valuable and should be used as a guideline for all organizations. The concept can be adopted into most corporate cultures with a simple acknowledgement from management and a real desire for your organization to be on "one accord,” says J. Hussey, reviewing the book on Amazon.com.

Another reader, John Walsh, was equally as impressed.

The chapters each address different aspects of workplace relations and contain advice on how to avoid problems and increase harmony and productivity. These tend to revolve around the importance of all parties showing respect for each other, to perform their role properly and behave with respect to organizational protocol, which should itself be properly developed, spelled out and implemented and policed,” he writes.

With thousands turning to the book to improve workplace relations, the author has some stern parting words.

You are the only one who defines you, so don’t ever allow anyone to tell you who you are, or that you are not good enough,” Brown concludes.

Halo-Orangees employer-employee "one accord" Volume I One Mind, One Body, One Team, published by Outskirts Press, is available from Amazon.com.

Employers can post jobs and search resume database. Jobseekers can post resumes and search jobs for free. The genesis of Halo-Orangees Brand: Helping Advocate Longevity of Organizations by Obtaining Objectives through Redefining Above-Board New Generational Guidelines for Employer Employee Standards was inspired, developed, and birthed from her reaction to an unethical manager with whom she had the pleasure of working for and whose style of supervision made her stronger.
In a one-on-one meeting with this executive director, he made the statement that another employee, who held the same title as B.L. Brown, was better than she was. In response, B.L. Brown informed him that this employee was not better than her nor was she better than the employee. From that one statement, she instantly realized her true purpose in life. "Best negative words spoken into my life thus far" (Excerpt~ B.L. Brown). Reckoning her experience with a newfound belief, the foundation of Halo-Orangees emerged.

Keep Your Sanity! Day 4 with B.L. Brown @HaloOrangees & #Giveaway


Welcome to Day 4 with B.L. Brown! We've been learning so much and yesterday's post was excellent advice for maintaining healthy relationships. Today, we are learning how to keep our sanity, a great topic especially for this time of year. Welcome back B.L.!


Tips for a Healthy Mind & To Keep Your Sanity

Halo-Orangees’ book is full of motivational power. This book will change your life both personally and professionally. On-the-job stress is never easy to handle. It is hard to enter a place every day in which the outcome is always a negative one.

When you work in an environment that has a black cloud of stress throughout the entire organization, apply these Halo-Orangees’ Daily Meditation Moments. Stress will no longer control my life. Stress will no longer adversely impact my days. Stress will no longer destroy my vision, drive my career, or override my thoughts. Stress will no longer handicap me, cause me serious bodily harm, or cause me emotional pain and suffering. Stress will no longer determine my reactions. Stress will no longer impinge upon my sleep, creating endless sleepless nights. Stress will no longer immobilize my style. Stress will no longer punish me, force me into a life of imprisonment, or bring me down. Stress will no longer order me around. Stress will no longer force daily visits upon me. Stress will no longer be a prescribed drug made especially for me. Stress is no longer the unlicensed psychologist counseling me.

Tomorrow is the beginning of a fresh start with a new perspective, meaning, “Don’t allow the attitude and actions of yesterday to dictate your tomorrow.” Carrying the baggage of yesterday into a new day can affect your attitude and create unnecessary stress (Author B.L. Brown).

A healthy mind starts with self-awareness. Self-awareness is being mindful of who you are, the good and the bad. Self-awareness in an individual is a critical component because when a person has a clear understanding of himself or herself and recognize negative characteristics, they are encouraged to make a positive change. The benefit of understanding the value of the mindset is life changing. A constructive mindset can unlock elite doors of opportunities.

Halo “Stress-Free, One Accord” Mantra
Halo-Orangees believes that in order to cultivate an environment that promotes the “one accord” team vision of partnership, longevity, and productivity among employers and employees, organizations must adopt and incorporate wellness plan, which includes invoking a “stress-free, one-accord” corporate mantra for everyone to embrace and live daily. One of Halo-Orangees motto is “Today, I choose to live stress-free.” These words should be posted throughout organizations to remind management and employees alike that they are on the same team, working on one accord, with a singleness of purpose for a common goal.

Organizations must adopt a stress-free wellness plan. All team members should sign a no-stress pledge. This plan should include employer-employee group meetings that aid endless moral support. Therefore, there is no need for anyone to be stressed about coming to work or about any activities associated with work, regardless of challenges they face throughout each day. This will help managers be completely transparent with employees, helping them grow and develop within organizations. This will help employees put their best foot forward and give 100%, knowing they can trust their managers to support them. The “stress-free, one accord” mantra should be introduced in the interview process. It should also be branded, practiced, and incorporated into organizations’ core values and standards worldwide. Halo-Orangees comprehensive wellness plan will be released in the next edition of employer-employee “one accord” Volume II. Join Halo-Orangees’ “stress-free, one accord” wellness movement, and journey with us in living in total health and prosperity.

Day 3 with B.L. Brown - Maintaining Healthy Relationships

Don't forget, you can get extra entries in the giveaway by tweeting each day, and if your just joining us, please enter using the Rafflecopter below.

Maintaining Healthy Relationships

The objective of Halo-Orangees book is to take the most difficult on-the-job conflicts and use them as a platform to show others that they shouldn’t let anyone disable their growth by ‘confining them to a box’.

This book embodies the message that all human beings have a purpose and can rise above any situation or circumstance as long as they remain ethically true to themselves.

Halo-Orangees is a nonexclusive on the job survival manual, mindset enhancer, and stress reliever for both employers and employees. This book will change your life both personally and professionally.

Exercising good moral character should be the main objective for all employers and employees. Today’s workplace is not always easy to settle into. However, when you adopt good ethical standards, you will always rise above the unethical actions of others. Life is full of experiences: happy, sad, good, and bad. The goal is to deal with each experience in a positive manner. It’s just a part of the journey called life. The key to mastering the unjust actions of others is remaining true to your moral character. You should connect to something or someone important in your life. However, the first connection should be to yourself. In order to form positive relations with others, a positive relationship with yourself must be achieved.

A rock-solid foundation of inter-organizational empowerment should be a permanent highlight in all companies. Management must possess the core skills necessary to empower their team members. A chain of continuous empowerment should be a universal component of every organization. Shared learning tools are a central element of performance achievements. Self-empowerment starts within each individual person. A person must first actualize self-empowerment in order to succeed in the workplace. Fair and equitable treatment of all members of an organization can only enhance the morale of the team and work environment. Employees who have the full support of their management team are empowered to go above and beyond for the organization. These team members take a proactive approach to their daily operations and seek out possible solutions for potential issues that may escalate.
