"The type of motivation I provide my clients is based on their needs. I have a direct approach to my communication style with each client. Each of my clients reacts to a different style of motivation to stay focused during our sessions and during the job hunt."

Empower by showing them their value as a person & an employee, then working w/them to speak up when they have been treated wrongly, or deserve better treatment, pay, position, etc.
I motivate by discussing their hobbies & things that they would like to have w/them. I point out both how a job could be related to hobbies & preferred activities; & the items that they could purchase.

You cover the empowering aspect of this question really well, but I suggest adding a few more details on how you motivate your clients, in addition to empowering them. A specific example would be great!
