Well, why don't u start off by posting the chords you already play.  That way we can give you some new stuff to play, or add to the stuff you already play to enhance it.
Real musicians play in every key!!!

Cool, that makes sense!!!

It's really just two chords i learned in every Key.
My favorite Key is Eb.
SO ...
Lh      Rh
Eb-Bb/G-C-D-F. I learned this in every key and when played in whole steps it sound really cool, even in half-steps. LOL I'm a nub.

Anyway... there is one more

Lh       Rh
F-C/Ab-Eb-G-Bb same as frist learned in every key.
I know there's more to hear, but finding neo soul keyboardist that I LIKE is HARD.
Honestly I starting to like bass players even more.
Nevertheless, Maybe this will help.
Thanks Again, Oh and Thanks Derik.

Here are three for you then....

It's not a progression, but just chords to use like you use the ones you posted, moving them in whole steps, half-steps, etc.

1. G-B \ F-Bb-Db
2. G-B \ F-Bb-D
3. G-B \ F-Bb-Eb

....There you go. Three different sounding chords, but very closely related. You can even switch between them, as you move. The following moves between all three versions of the above to form a progression.

1. G-B \ F-Bb-Db
2. A-C# \ G-C-E
3. B-D# \ A-D-G

The left hand is G and B. You play the other chords with your right hand.

Here is a progression you can play that has that neo-soul feel to it.  Since u seem to like the key of Eb (that's my favorite key as well), i'll post it in Eb:

6-2-5-1-4-7-3 progression
Key Eb  LH/RH   4/4 time count in [ ]

[1, 2] C / Bb-D-Eb-G
[3, 4] F / A-C-Eb-G
[1, 2] Bb / Db-F-Ab-C
[3, 4] Eb / Db-F-G-Bb
[1, 2, 3, 4] Ab / C-Eb-G-Bb
[1, 2] D / A-C-E-G
[3, 4] G / Cb-Eb-F-Bb
(repeat)

Here is another progression taken from the song "Say Yes" by Floetry:
Key f / Ab  LH/RH

G / D-F-Bb-C
F / Ab-Eb-G-Bb
Eb / Gb-Db-F-Ab
Db / Ab-C-F

Here is one more progression taken from the song "1 Thing" by Amerie:
Key Gb  LH/RH

Cb / Cb-Eb-Gb-Bb
Eb / C-D-F-G-Bb  *pay attention to this chord right here, it is so awesome
Db / Db-Eb-Gb-Bb
Bb / Cb-Eb-Gb-Bb
Ab / Bb-C-Eb-Ab
(repeat)

If you want to play neo-sould type stuff, then you have to listen to that type of music.  Unfortunately, the gospel world hasn't caught on to it like the R&B world, so u would probably have to listen to some R&B and jazz music to get that sound you are looking for.

Now, i'm not forcing anybody to go listen to music other types of music besides gospel (since this is a gospe site), I'm just saying that's where the neo-type stuff is found the most at.  There may be some gospel music artists who have neo-soul type music in their songs, but I haven't found too many.
