Stone Kyambadde

Known to millions throughout the world as FranklinCovey's model transition figure, Stone inspires and ignites purpose and meaning in executives and professionals at all organizational levels.

For more than 20 years, Stone Kyambade has worked with street kids in Uganda through the "Wolves" Football program. Football (soccer) serves as a magnet to draw idle teenagers off the streets and into a program that leads toward personal transformation. The Wolves football program works on prevention by providing a structured, disciplined daily sports program to keep teenage boys from broken homes off the streets, out of trouble, and off of drugs.

Through football, Stone is able to reach out to teenage boys, many of whom have dropped out of school and are unemployed. He coaches, teaches, and mentors them, providing them opportunities that will allow them to become proactive and productive men in society.

The family-like culture of the Wolves gives boys and young men opportunities to learn to relate to each other in proactive ways that build a team-focused thought process that equips them to function more effectively in their diverse society. Along with the sports training, Stone finds ways for them to learn and develop work skills so that those who cannot earn a living playing football professionally will be able to find work and be productive citizens.

Stone is featured as a model "transition figure" in FranklinCovey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People© Signature Program. Habit 1: Be Proactive highlights Stone, in a self-titled video and his life-changing work with Ugandan youth.
