LaSaan Georgeson, a former corporate HR executive turned sommelier raises a toast to creating and living out one's dreams while inspiring others to do the same. She is certified as a Sommelier and Specialist of Spirits; she trained at International Sommelier Guild, The Court of Master Sommeliers, and The Society of Wine Educators.
Through her enlivened talks and MYE workshops utilizing the proprietary (VAST) personality assessment tool, she'll challenge you to transform the meaning of innovation through the focus of individualism experienced in her sensory presentations.
Needing to pivot in 2020, LaSaan created
'V-events' to restore socializing while creating genuine connections in the new era of distancing. These are customized appealing wine events, that caught on and continue in-person or virtually.
Utilizing her book, If A Wine Were Me, Which Would it Be? LaSaan created 'Saan the Somm' enlivened talks and the most unique MYE workshops designed to embrace individual expression resulting in organic inclusiveness and innovation.
MYE workshops utilize wine as the metaphor to glean the benefits of identifying and working most effectively with like and differing personalities.
Come open-minded to garner the tips from oenology to viticulture; gain insights needed to effectively lead people; experience an understanding of how to blend with precision; and embrace single-mindedness.
Engaging meaningful discussions with each glass!
LaSaan draws upon aspects of her book "If A Wine Were Me Which Would it Be?" to demonstrate the distinct personality in all, metaphorically speaking. Her specialty is engaging an audience through humor while highlighting the magic of belongingness with sincere interactions.
LaSaan is the creator and edutainer of 'Saan the Somm' enlivened talks and of MYE (in conjunction with VAST). In 2020, through
V-events she pivoted to offer her original events, virtually as well and with the same level of enjoyment.
Let's journey together... Destination Integration!
