About Neil Kirby

Neil is a professional life and business coach, working with individuals to help them be, do and have more of the things they want in life. He is the CEO, a Challenger, Encourager and Optimist.

Neil is also the founder of The Red Rubber Ball Foundation, a charity set up to offer Kenyan children the life-changing opportunity of a full education. Through its sponsorship programmes and other projects, the Foundation helps hundreds of children to have an education they would otherwise not be able to afford.

The Foundation has been life-changing for Neil as well as the children. It has seen him commit 5% of his business income to community projects, raise over £400,000 in fundraising activities and put 195 Kenyan children through school. He has climbed mountains, had the support of an Oscar-nominated actress, seen President Obama’s grandma become his charity’s Patron and had many adventures along the way.

Neil is not superhuman – he is just an ordinary guy doing unusual things. Neil shares his story and the story of those he’s met and worked with. It demonstrates just that anything is possible… if you put your mind to it.
