Prove your expertise
When I was a student, I always wondered, "Why should I listen to this teacher?" I feel like this same attitude has pushed into the way I teach. Although I feel like calming students nerves is extremely important, I think that proving your experience and explaining why you are a professional in this subject is extremely important. When you tell students of your experience and where you have been, it will allow them to understand that what they are learning does cross over into the real world.

Hi Ron,
Simple and very effective point. You have been there and done it. You can help them achieve their career goals if they will put forth the effort while in your class. This is a win win for everyone.
