It all started with a dog named Kiki…

Sachin wasn’t a pet person. Not until one lazy afternoon in 2021, when Kiki(the indie pup his wife adopted) looked like she had injured herself. Sachin heaved a sigh of relief, she was fine. But then Kiki hobbled into his lap and looked up at him with her soulful eyes. Sachin felt something move in him. He had turned into a parent, a pet-parent.

Later, when Sachin narrated this story to a pet care startup founder in one of his coaching sessions, something clicked. He already knew that stories are way more powerful than numbers and facts. But that day he understood the power of small stories that help us experience big truths.

And since then he’s been building the concept of ‘Story-flection’.

Storyflection is the art of reflecting on everyday life stories, and narrating them to achieve success for oneself and others.

Why does it matter?

Everyone talks about storytelling being powerful. But what if they are more than a tool to become a good communicator? What if we could unearth insights and great wisdom from our life stories even before narrating them?

Story Club believes that YOU are the most important audience of your story. And if you learn something meaningful from it, then others will too. In essence, your reflections are small steps towards everyday progress. That you can narrate these stories to inspire and influence others is a bonus(and a big one at that).

Storyflection is a MAP not just for communication, but also life. At the retreat you will learn how to use this MAP:

  • Mark: Identify the moments that teach you something
  • Adapt: Shape them into engaging, meaningful stories
  • Preserve: Build your story bank for different situations

This retreat will not just teach you the method; it will help you turn it into a habit.

Why Attend?

  • Walk away with 9 powerful stories from your life that can help you inspire, connect, and lead
  • Learn to use story structures like `Reveal the Villain`, `Back then—but now—that’s why`, and `Character–Conflict–Change`
  • Master the MAP method (Mark, Adapt, Preserve) for story journaling
  • Rediscover your life journey and things that truly matter to you
  • Build meaningful, lifelong connections with other curious, committed people
  • Gain confidence in narrating your stories using voice, body language, and presence
