Play Your Way to Peak Performance
Using the power of play, Mike Kinner helps organizations create an energized, innovative, and results-driven culture where the best work happens together.
Organizations We've Played With
Misaligned Teams Miss Goals
Big goals don’t mean much when your team is battling miscommunication, competing priorities, and constant distractions.
Without clear alignment and focus, momentum stalls.
Frustration grows.
Opportunities slip away.
The result? Slower growth, missed targets, and exhausted people.
Burnout is Blocking Growth
Burnout. Frustration. Feeling unheard. The cycle of chasing goals without real momentum drains motivation and kills creativity.
Leaders feel stuck, watching a capable team struggle to break through. Team members feel disengaged, weighed down by routine, and disconnected from a bigger purpose. Without a spark, performance plateaus, and the energy to push forward disappears.

Side Effects of a Peak Play Performance Culture Reset Experience.
Reignite Energy. Restore Momentum
At Peak Play Performance, we know the challenges teams face in 2025. With decades of experience in sales, leadership, and high-performance environments, we’ve seen what happens when teams operate under constant pressure instead of real momentum.
The solution? Change the game.
We guide teams to shift their mindset, break old patterns, and reignite their drive. Through play, strategy, and connection, we help unlock the energy, focus, and collaboration that fuel lasting results.
Because breakthroughs don’t happen by accident. They happen when you create the environment for them. And that’s exactly what we do.

Aligned Teams Win
Work shouldn’t feel like a grind. It should be where you come alive. I created this experience because I know what it’s like to feel stuck just checking the boxes, pushing through the motions, and knowing your team is capable of more, but not knowing how to unlock it. Everything changed when I found a fresh perspective, and now I help leaders and teams do the same... without wasting years figuring it out.
I wish this experience had been available to me earlier because alignment, momentum, and engagement aren’t accidental, they’re created. The right shift in energy and focus transforms how teams communicate, perform, and win together. One breakthrough can change your culture. One decision can change your trajectory. My goal? That you and your team walk away energized, aligned, and operating at your highest level. That work stops feeling like a grind and starts feeling like something you’re proud to build. Your future self will thank you.
