1 Identify their values and purpose

One of the first steps to help your clients stay motivated is to help them identify their values and purpose. What are the core beliefs and principles that guide their decisions and actions? What are the meaningful and fulfilling aspects of their work and life? How do their goals align with their values and purpose? By helping your clients clarify these questions, you can help them tap into their intrinsic motivation, which is the inner drive that comes from personal interest and satisfaction.

2 Set SMART goals and action plans

Another way to help your clients stay motivated is to help them set SMART goals and action plans. SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. By setting SMART goals, your clients can have a clear and realistic vision of what they want to achieve and how they will measure their progress and success. By creating action plans, your clients can break down their goals into manageable and actionable steps that they can follow and track. This way, they can avoid feeling overwhelmed or discouraged by the complexity or uncertainty of their goals.

3 Celebrate their achievements and feedback

A third way to help your clients stay motivated is to celebrate their achievements and feedback. Whether they reach a milestone, complete a task, or receive positive feedback, you can help your clients acknowledge and appreciate their efforts and results. This can boost their self-esteem, confidence, and satisfaction. You can also help your clients learn from their challenges, mistakes, and negative feedback. This can help them improve their skills, strategies, and resilience. By celebrating their achievements and feedback, you can help your clients cultivate a growth mindset, which is the belief that they can improve and succeed with effort and learning.

4 Provide support and accountability

A fourth way to help your clients stay motivated is to provide support and accountability. As a career counselor, you can offer your clients emotional, informational, and instrumental support. You can listen to their concerns, empathize with their feelings, provide relevant information and resources, and assist them with their tasks and challenges. You can also hold your clients accountable for their goals and actions. You can check in with them regularly, monitor their progress, remind them of their deadlines, and encourage them to follow through with their plans. By providing support and accountability, you can help your clients feel valued, empowered, and responsible.

My clients tell me that they find it hard to stick to their goals and stay motivated, so through our coaching sessions I ensure they focus on the big picture goal and through each session we track their progress. Having support can be essential in following through so if you don't have a coach, tell a friend what you are trying to achieve and ask them to check on your progress.

5 Encourage self-care and balance

A fifth way to help your clients stay motivated is to encourage self-care and balance. Sometimes, your clients may experience burnout, fatigue, or stress that can affect their motivation and performance. You can help them prevent or cope with these issues by encouraging them to practice self-care and balance. You can suggest them to take breaks, rest, exercise, eat well, meditate, or engage in hobbies and activities that they enjoy and relax them. You can also help them set boundaries, prioritize, delegate, or say no to tasks or requests that are not essential or aligned with their goals. By encouraging self-care and balance, you can help your clients maintain their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

I have always told clients that looking for a job opportunity is more emotionally and mentally taxing than working a full-time job because of the amount of rejection that is received. It would be like receiving a negative performance review daily. Balance is the key to staying motivated in a job search - spending 40 hours a week job searching is not sustainable and unlikely to be effective. I always recommend breaking up the job search into categories: searching, networking, outreach and follow-up, prep, analyzing data, skills building, and personal care. This is a nice mix of enjoyable tasks, actions that give clarity into what is working and what is not working, and the actual grind. Build a roadmap and stick with it!

Today it is not about staying motivated. It more about having a strategy and execute it. Motivation today can no longer be like a pill that works for 4-8 hours and where’s off. Production on based on your WHY is your source of motivation. Therefore, as an accountability partner for my clients the motivation is in my service, skills and assessing weekly execution to determine how things are going and what needs to change. Furthermore, being a fan of each of my clients efforts and progress fuels their motivation while looking forward to once a week check ins. Staying engaged holistically allows for client and coach relationship to flourish and keeps everyone motivated to continue working as a team towards the goal.

Connection is the key in my humble opinion. Get to know your clients on a personal level and have them know you as well. This way when you ask for a commitment they will know it's coming from a place of love and mutual respect. Be mindful of your relationship and don't mix personal feelings with the business. This will allow them to increase their respect for you based on your character. When you do this, asking them to stay committed to themselves is more likely to happen based on their respect for the type of person you are.

6 Explore their options and opportunities

A sixth way to help your clients stay motivated is to explore their options and opportunities. Sometimes, your clients may face changes, challenges, or setbacks that can affect their motivation and goals. You can help them adapt and thrive by exploring their options and opportunities. You can help them assess their strengths, weaknesses, interests, and values. You can help them research and identify new or alternative career paths, roles, or industries that suit their skills, preferences, and goals. You can help them network, apply, or interview for these opportunities. By exploring their options and opportunities, you can help your clients discover new possibilities and potentials.

In my experience as a coach, I need to wear multiple hats to support clients through challenging times. Some days I play a role as a cheerleader, inspiring clients and some days prescribing a dose of "tough love", pushing them to take responsibility for their actions in order to move through the challenges. At the end of the day, seeing clients grow brings me joy.
