The Woman Behind the Bangs
Erica Gumieny, MS
Speaker, Author, Facilitator & Professional Pumper-Upper
Hi, I’m Erica Gum-in-knee—seasoned, sassy, and here to help YOU.
As a speaker, facilitator, and author, I help people rediscover their worth, silence self-doubt, and live with purpose and peace. Whether it’s a keynote, workshop, or episode of The Funny Kind™ podcast, I blend humor, heart, and spiritual insight to spark healing and empowerment.
INSPIRED
Like Vanilla Ice said, “If there’s a problem, yo, I’ll solve it.” I’m wired to make things better. With humor and heart, I break down barriers, simplify the complex, and help others exceed their goals. Chronic overachiever, coach, community builder—I make a difference.
STRENGTH
I inspire others by building trust fast and creating real connections.
I help people tap into their drive, align with their goals, and spark real growth. Call me a “motivation marvel”—cape optional.
EXPERIENCE
I’ve been a top performer across industries—healthcare, education, advertising, training, and transportation. My secret? I truly connect with people, understand their needs, and deliver creative solutions that wow.
ENERGIZER
Infusing energy and results into people and projects is my specialty. I roll up my sleeves, dive right in, and give 150% to everything I do. Whether it's an event, workshop, or project, you can count on me to deliver enthusiasm, honesty, humor and impact.
I could keep talking about myself, but honestly, I really just want to get to know YOU and find a way that I can be of help.
Let’s chat.
