You must be able to be vulnerable with studies and share your life stories. You need to be doing something that is meaningful and fulfills your purpose in life. Then you can teach by example. The material should not be difficult for some one with your qualifications.

These may change with each academic year, through discussions between you and your department head and dean. You will be reviewed and evaluated on the basis of how well you perform these duties.
The responsibilities for this position will include some or all of the following: teaching, student advising, research and creative activities, service and cooperative extension, and administrative responsibilities. Your responsibilities may include involvement in off-campus, evening or weekend duties, as well as student recruitment, retention, and placement efforts.

Because teaching is the fundamental responsibility of each faculty member, all faculty members must participate in this activity. Adjustments to your teaching responsibilities may be made in accordance with your college’s workload policy based on the type of courses to which you are assigned and the extent of your responsibilities in other areas.
