Action Lab Leadership, a service company who helps FEC leaders eliminate overwhelm and grow their businesses, became an official training partner for the Monster Mini Golf franchise.
Action Lab Leadership developed a 12-week leadership training program for managers at Monster Mini Golf locations. The franchise owners (Chris King, Nick Mastrandrea, Holly Hernandez, and Alex Gonzalez) sent managers from their own locations through the training to see the results before opening the program to all locations.
When asked about why he partnered with Action Lab Leadership, Chris King shared this.
“Action Lab’s Manager Leadership Program was a game-changer for participating Monster Mini Golf locations. The insights and tools they’ve provided have not only sharpened our managers’ skills but also ignited a passion for leadership that’s truly contagious. It’s a fantastic program that delivers real, measurable results.”

Once the franchise owners saw these results, they were ready to share the program with all the franchise locations at the annual Monster Mini Golf Conference in September. During this event, Danny Gruening — the Founder of Action Lab Leadership — delivered a presentation to help the franchisees and managers become more influential leaders. He also facilitated a roundtable discussion where managers discovered ways to overcome challenges with staff members.

“I love the passion the Monster Mini Golf family brings to their business, and I’m excited to help more of their owners and managers build the skills to make an even bigger impact in their communities.”

Kaitlin Harty, a General Manager and location trainer for Monster Mini Golf, was one of the first to go through the leadership training program. When asked about her experience in the training, she said,
“I would recommend this course to any owner, manager, or any person looking to gain new skills in leadership and communication. You will not regret taking this course!”
