Be giving. Not overly to where you are putting yourself out entirely but, realize that the client is purchasing an atmosphere that is tailored specific to them. Personal training is meant to be "Personal!" If giving means lending an ear or advice, then that's what you give. If its motivation or a stalwart example (pillar of strength) then that is what you give. Giving the client what they NEED, not always what they WANT, is the very embodyment of personal training.

A great listener, as Christine stated, is one of the key traits found in the personal trainer who will guide you to attain and maintain your fitness goals.

being able not only to listen to the client but also be aware of what they're really saying by body language and other things. You need to address each client individually and not compare to others. We each are different, we each have different needs and desires. Its our job as a trainer to focus on the goal of the client, yet along the way educate and help them make life style changes, not just temporary changes

It's nearly impossible for me to pick just one!
A trainer needs to be a skilled communicator. This includes:
1) Good listening/input. For example, it benefits the client when you take in plenty of information from them initially to figure out where to start in their training plan. Getting feedback as you go is important, too. Active listening also helps you to deduce what kind of a learner your client is so that you can better work with them. Nonverbal language is key also. I've heard the figure that 87% of the way we communicate with one another is nonverbal.
2) Effective cuing/output. As stated, it's important to know what kind of learner your client is so that you can get them to understand what you want them to do. An auditory learner might be able to take in almost everything you say. A visual learner is going to get the most out of seeing a demo of each exercise. A kinesthetic learner will understand a movement by actually doing it.
Communication output can also include non-verbals like smiling, high fives--all of the encouraging words and behaviors that come to many trainers very naturally :) Most trainers are innately effective communicators, or "people people", but it never hurts to think about how we can be better at it.
Trainers who are organized, reliable, and knowledgeable/professionally certified also benefit themselves and their clients.

Not sure I could narrow it down to one (maybe honesty? with self, clients, employer, media, business community). However, a personal trainer with the following characteristics/traits would be magical:
-dynamic personality
-fabulous communicator
-certain degree of humbleness
-able to think on feet (or knees, hands, head:)...)
-well-educated and experienced
-empathetic
-ethical
-professional
-respectful
-healthy role model (in & out of gym)
-body of god or goddess (just kidding:)
