- 13:25Et si la vie était un jeu et non un combat ? | Stéphanie Krieger | TEDxBulleStéphanie partage son parcours d’une vie vécue comme un combat à une vie réinventée comme un jeu. Entre expériences professionnelles et personnelles, elle dévoile trois clés simples : choisir ses parties, jouer avec les autres plutôt que contre eux, et réinventer les règles. À travers anecdotes et réflexions, elle invite à transformer nos défis quotidiens en moments de plaisir, de connexion et de liberté. Stéphanie Krieger is a passionate entrepreneur, mother, experience creator, and explorer of human connection. After nine years in finance, she left it all behind to reinvent herself: becoming a Club Med host, fitness instructor, hypnotherapy artist, and later founding several companies, including HouseTrap, a concept of immersive escape games in Switzerland. Her common thread? Play. She believes that life is not a battle, but a playground where we learn, fall, laugh, and, most importantly, share. Through her projects, she seeks to reconnect people with their joy, imagination, and ability to create meaning together. Today, she takes the stage to share what drives her: living is about playing the games that matter—not to win or lose, but to enjoy the play.
