...favorites ("Beat It" and "Only You") into a group of songs for dancing close and reminiscing. Unfortunately, Nascimento often sounds like a wedding singer gone bad, and it's hard to sit through his version of "Beat It" with a straight face. The romance of the Spanish lyrics might hold your interest through the first song or two, but then the '80s elevator-music feel begins to shine through.

Conrad is visibly relieved to have someone to bounce ideas off of and he insists that I call Wang "Powerhouse," a nickname she has earned for her ability to absorb...
...afternoon picks up for Wang when she and Mike hold a meeting with their main "contact" in the client's product engineering department. This meeting gives me a view of the working relationship between client and consultant that I haven't had all day. Even though some important issues are being discussed, the atmosphere is very informal and relaxed; the client contact seems to trust Mike and Wang to be on his team. The meeting wanders from a demonstration of a nifty PowerPoint presentation tool (a hallmark of consulting) to a discussion of engineering challenges (in which both Wang...
