The best gift I ever survived
– Stacey Kramer

From TED.com

Stacey Kramer offers a moving, personal, 3-minute parable that shows how an unwanted experience — frightening, traumatic, costly — can turn out to be a priceless gift.

Stacey Kramer has traveled the United States and the world helping to create names and brands for growing companies.

Why you should listen

Co-founder of Brandplay, a brand strategy firm, Stacey Kramer also founded Word for Word, a naming and branding consultancy serving national and global companies — from big, recognizable names to next year’s newsmaking startups.

In 2009, Kramer found herself confronting a terrifying diagnosis: a CAT scan revealed she had a brain tumor — the size of a golf ball. She told her remarkable, personal story at TED2010.
