An executive coach par excellence, she's the person the Great and the Good turn to when the pressure gets too much; she can change the way they think, how they operate, she can turn around the very fortunes of their companies. Her waiting list is months' long, but even she can't turn down the unorthodox but highly lucrative crisis call that comes her way a few weeks before Christmas, regarding the troublesome, and troubled, head of an esteemed whisky company in Scotland: Lochlan Farquhar, CEO of Kentallen Distilleries, is a maverick, an enigma and a renegade, and Alex needs to get inside his head before he brings the company to its knees. It should be business as usual. She can do this in her sleep. Only, when she gets to the remote island of Islay, with the winter snows falling, Alex finds herself out of her comfort zone. For once, she's not in control, Lochlan, though darkly charismatic, is unpredictable and destructive, her usual methods gaining no traction with him - and with Christmas and her deadline fast approaching, she must win his trust and find a way to close on this deal. 650 0 $a Executive coaching $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Businesspeople $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Distilleries $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Whiskey industry $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Islay (Scotland) $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Businesspeople. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00842980 650 7 $a Distilleries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895527 650 7 $a Executive coaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917802 650 7 $a Man-woman relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007080 650 7 $a Whiskey industry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01174578 651 7 $a Scotland $z Islay. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01251887 655 7 $a Christmas fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01981983 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921732 655 7 $a Christmas fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104015328.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012021122.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20210204023839.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D934CC94A46A11E9B5C9673897128E48 994 $a C0 $b UIVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
