t first, dinner collaborated with

breakfast to make chicken and waffles.

After that, US McDonald’s offered the
Southern Chicken Breakfast Sandwich:
chicken with pickles on top, sandwiched
by a biscuit. Now, it has finally come to
Canada—the difference being that they
are putting the chicken in their signature
breakfast sandwiches.

McDonald’s is offering chicken
versions of the McMuffin and the
McGriddle. They replace the egg
with chicken breast. In the case of
the McMuffin, they put an additional
topping—causing it to look like the
McChicken for breakfast. It is the opposite
of all-day breakfast—instead you eat lunch
for breakfast. Though it is important to
note: the chicken breakfast sandwiches are
only available during breakfast time.

The Chicken McMuffin is the
McMuffin with chicken breast, cheese,
and surprisingly, McChicken sauce. When
I was eating it, the sandwich did taste
like the McChicken though they did not
put the same chicken breast that is in the
McChicken. The sauce added more flavour
and made the sandwich creamier.

The Chicken McGriddle is just the new
chicken breast between two hotcakes and
no additional toppings. It is like a breakfast
meal put in a sandwich. It also reminds
me of the taste of putting maple syrup on
top of chicken when eating chicken and
waffles. The sandwich is very delicious, and
the hot cakes add an enjoyable sweetness to
the salty chicken breast.

For anyone that likes to eat chicken
for breakfast, you can finally have it with
McDonald’s chicken breakfast sandwiches!
Maybe in the future these items will be
added to their all-day breakfast menu
which is available for carryout and food
delivery.

The sandwich is very delicious, and the hot cakes add
an enjoyable sweetness to the salty chicken breast.

 

It's time to change the conversation

>» A review of the book ‘Fierce Conversations’

Tania Arora
Staff Writer

 

bought this book because I had an

assignment this semester which
required me to read a book related to
communication. But this book, Fierce
Conversations by Susan Scott, offered
me techniques that apply beyond the
classroom. We all aim at achieving success
in work and in life—and this requires a
mix of personal efforts and meaningful
relationships. Certainly, relationships play a
major role in success; it is the foundation of
great achievement which we often ignore.
Conversations are equal to relationships.

Susan maintains a practice of
consulting CEOs and company leaders
through her firm Fierce Inc. The firm
provides programs and courses related
to leadership and conversations. It
was founded in 2001 and has evolved
each day, catering to changing times.
After publishing Fierce Conversations:
Achieving Success at Work and in Life
One Conversation at a Time, she went
on to publish Fierce Leadership: A Bold
Alternative to the Worst “best” Practices of
Business Today.
The accomplished author gives

a detailed introduction as to how she
came up with the idea of starting fierce
conversations and figuring out the gaps
in communications. She then wrote
elaborate chapters explaining her entire
theory using principles. Each part of the
principle is elongated using anecdotes,
giving the reader a better picture of how
to build and use conversations to achieve

success in every aspect of life. It is one of
the bestselling classic guides to spreading
your message the way you want to spread
it. The tools and methods used in Scott’s
book will get you thinking and breaking
down the entire thought processes behind
conversations.

Here is an excerpt from the book
which hit me hard: “Have you ever left a
meeting only to discover that apparently,
we were all just in the same different
meeting? Or sent a perfectly innocent
e-mail or text and been appalled to
learn how it was received? It seems
one of the most common outcomes of
communication is misunderstanding.”
With every conversation we make, we
are either building relationships or
losing them. So, we must go at it, one
conversation at a time.

The principles that Scott’s book
mentions are the following: “be here,
prepared to be nowhere else; tackle your
toughest challenge today; obey your
instincts; take responsibility for your
emotional wake, and let silence do the
heavy lifting.” Towards the end, Susan Scott
concluded the principles with the title
“Embrace the Principles.” She wrote, “it is
not enough to be willing to speak. The time
has come for you to speak.”

I wish I had read this book sooner
because it completely changed my mindset
on having conversations and why I have
them. It gave mea reason to pause and
contemplate why I was and was not able to
build certain relationships in the past and
what I must do to not lose the ones I have
now and in the future.
