Posted on:

The Foster Harris House is a lovely little inn, in the Virginia wine country. For the new owner, Klaus Peters, running the House is a post-retirement labor of love.
Before his “boring” short-lived retirement, Klaus enjoyed a distinguished career managing top hotels, like the Watergate.

But Klaus started his career in hospitality at the bottom, as a 14-year-old kitchen apprentice. Eventually he worked his way up to a waiter’s job, and at age 18 he answered an ad to become a waiter at a Texas hotel.

But then – once he learned to “treat everybody like a Somebody” – Klaus’ career took off and he was managing a resort at the age of 26.

On this episode, Klaus talks about how to empower your career by treating other people with respect.
