The Red Rubber Ball is any activity, topic or purpose that makes us excited about our day. Perhaps it is what actually gets you out of bed in the morning?! It is a metaphor for what we really and truly want to do; it’s what grabs us by the soul, what captures our imagination and what we daydream about. Discovering our Red Rubber Ball can come at any stage of our life as long as we are open to new experiences, ideas and emotions. Many people discover their Red Rubber Ball in a moment of innocence – like on a Playground. How many times as a child were you asked what you were going to be when you grew up?! The chances are that you might have said something like “a footballer”, “a nurse”, “a teacher”, “a film star”. What made you say those things? How far did you get? What got in your way if you didn’t achieve your goal?

Delivered by The Red Rubber Ball Company, the Red Rubber Ball Programmes take you back to consider your life inspirations and motivations. They enable you to tell the story of your life in a succinct and powerful way. They uncover your dreams and aspirations for the future and provide you with practical ways to keep them in focus. For employees, they allow you to consider your role in your organisation, how you support and influence its vision and values and provides focus on what you believe your future direction to be. They lead you to think about what value you add and what contribution you can make. For both individuals and companies, they begin a creative action-planning journey that will not be put in a drawer and forgotten; they allow your personal and professional development to be at the centre of your own review process.

As a Community Interest Company (CIC), The Red Rubber Ball Company has a responsibility to ensure that it is operating its business for the benefit of the community at large. For example, its Mundeku Leadership Programme is a programme aimed at the next generation of leaders and incorporates a project to build kitchen facilities in an orphanage in a Kenyan village. Its 2-day Open Workshops are held in youth and community centres or community theatres to support local development.

As a business, you may well have Corporate Social Responsibility goals and commitments or you may just wish to play a part in your local community’s development. Either way, when you undertake a Red Rubber Ball Programme, you know that you are not only getting exceptional training and coaching but that you are also helping others in the process. You are free to make people aware of this as appropriate and even become involved should you so wish.
