MASALA...Our Training Philosophy

The Masala Philosophy ("Take What You Have, Create What You Want") emphasizes that one must gain a greater understanding of the individual parts of the group, team or organization to be able to direct, maneuver, or leverage them to achieve increased performance from each piece and the collective. Through the avenue of training and development, we can more effectively engage people, connect with them, and move them along a continuum that allows for more productive results. To understand the universal need that each of us has for performance improvement, you must first understand the Four Laws of the Immutable Cs which drive human behavior and ultimately affect our performances. Change, Competition, Culture and Communication are the immutable "Cs" that drive the need for a high-level of performance. Change is Continuous: The frequency and the magnitude of the change within all aspects of our lives impacts our performances. Competition is Ubiquitous and Unavoidable: The inescapable presence of competition necessitates the need for performance improvement.

Culture is Contagious: Every group, every team, every organization and even every family that has been in existence for any significant period of time has an established and distinct culture. Communication is Catalyst: Communication is the catalyst for performance improvement.
