Deconstructing Leadership

What is the Distance Between the Brain and the Heart? Doctors Might Say It Is About a Foot. Traci Morris Proves Otherwise – for Her, There Is No Distance as Work and Giving Come Together in a Beautiful Amalgamation.

- Anita Krishnaswamy

Those in the relocation industry know Traci as one of the biggest names in the business – she is Chief Executive Officer of Brookfield Global Relocation Services (BGRS), which is one of the biggest relocation companies today. Traci has also amassed many personal and professional accolades during her illustrious 25-year career. She was awarded the Global Mobility Professional of the Year award from The Forum for Expatriate Management (FEM) and recognised by Profiles in Diversity journal as a Woman Worth Watching for her leadership knowledge, experience and advice. Recently, Traci was inducted into the Junior Achievement Hall of Fame for her various leadership roles, including more than 20 years of service on the Board of Directors for Junior Achievement of Western Connecticut. She is Treasurer and member of the Board of Directors for The Denan Project, a humanitarian grassroots initiative.

What is most interesting is that Traci brings to the table a unique mix of hardcore talent and an expansive outlook. She views her work not through the lens of money or position but as a means to touch as many lives as possible in the best way she can – be it in business or otherwise. As she stresses, “Each customer that is embarking on a move deserves to feel like they are the only customer we’re supporting. They’re in the midst of a meaningful change and we have the potential to give them peace of mind and assurances. It is a subtle form of giving yet the impact is lasting when a professional who is moving with his/her family can transition with ease and without anxiety.”
