Terry Howard, a successful financial advisor, had reached a stage in his career at which a coach was not enough. What he needed in order to reach the next level in both his business and his life was a mentor. While discussing the matter with his coach, Terry learned that:

> A coach trains you to help develop specific skills — in sports, for example, or in business. A mentor counsels you on matters in your life, including your career, your family and your community activities.
 
> Qualities to look for in a mentor include success in his or her career, being respected in the community and displaying an interest in seeing you succeed.

> A mentor doesn’t replace a coach but, rather, complements the work of a coach.
