I, first, want to reintroduce myself. I am Mike Bumgarner, chaplain bum,
the pastor of disaster in the Norman Regional Emergency Department, life
and relationship coach and often perplexed follower of Jesus. I write as a
life coach and minister. I happen to like people a lot. I love the good, the
bad and the ugly.
I have a plaque in my office. “Sit Long and Talk Much”. This has become
somewhat of a mission statement for my life and work. Conversation can
be helpful. Directed conversation can change the direction of a life. Life
coaching is directed conversation. I encourage clients to bring life issues,
and the questions that follow. In the coaching world we practice deep
listening. We listen and then ask questions to clarify and give space to
process. Have you ever noticed how negative thoughts, practices,
perceptions loop in our brains. This is stuck thinking.
We can choose not to let stuck thinking dominate our lives. I encourage
you to consider a coaching session. What do you want your life to look
like? We choose. If you have chosen a scarce life, I challenge you to
consider the work to have an abundant life.
To schedule a coaching session with me, please call Restore Behavioral
Health in Norman at 405 310 3262. You will be directed to new clients. I
can be reached on my cell phone at 405 760 1580. My email address is
