CEO Today Executive Coaching Awards 2023 - CHINA - - 76 - The Keystone Principle The Keystone Principle is the purpose behind our Vision, Mission and Values. At the heart of creating a Best Possible Relationship lies the Keystone Principle: In architecture, a keystone sits at the top of the arch, bridging the two sides, locking them together in stable equilibrium, and allowing the arch to bear weight. As the keystone settles over time, the arch becomes more stable. Without a keystone, the arch collapses.

As a tribute to its sustainability, over the last 25 years, LMI China licensees have trained over 30,000 mid-level managers and over 2000 senior-level executives. As a testament to its effectiveness, an early graduate of the program joined LMI China and rose to become the leader of the organization. In 2009 Keystone, building upon 11 years of success, introduced the Evidence-Based Coaching Certification Program (EBC) from Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, California to Shanghai, China.
