Climbing the Ladder with Traci Miller

Climbing the Ladder with Traci Miller

Author: Veronica Malolos, CCIM October 4, 2024 Duration: 19:23

Amazing! I had the chance to speak with Traci Miller this week on my podcast, Women Influencers. She is the Senior VP of Corporate Communications at Miller Construction, where she started in 1993 as the office manager. She also gives motivational talks and serves on the executive committee of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance Board of Directors, the boards of Commercial Industrial Association of South Florida (CIASF), Rebuilding Together Broward County, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Broward County, and on the United Way of Broward’s Women United Leadership Council, in addition to several other boards.

We discussed how her father and uncle founded Miller Construction, and how she ended up working there out of necessity after going through a divorce with two young children. Over the years, she has worked her way up the ladder to SVP. We discussed how an important part of her success is her willingness to voice what she wants, as it is easy to be overlooked and not considered for opportunities when you never say what you’re working towards.


We discussed her charitable involvement with Women on the Verge, which has awarded nearly half a million dollars in scholarships over the last 10 years. Then she gave some advice, and asked me about my recent commercial real estate acquisition.


“Write a letter to your younger self.” - Traci Miller

Hosted by Veronica Malolos, CCIM-Founder and CEO of Capital Stack Real Estate Group-the Women Influencers podcast moves beyond surface-level success stories to explore the nuanced realities of leadership, ambition, and personal philosophy. Each conversation delves into the practical strategies and formative experiences of women who have shaped their fields, with a particular lens on business and commercial real estate. These are not just interviews; they are deep dives into the decisions, setbacks, and pivotal moments that define a career. Veronica’s background as an operator in the Greater Orlando market informs a grounded, insightful dialogue that resonates whether you’re building a company, navigating a corporate ladder, or redefining your own path. The discussions naturally span categories from concrete business tactics to broader cultural and societal themes, reflecting the multifaceted lives these influencers lead. This podcast serves as a resource for anyone seeking authentic perspective, emphasizing that influence is cultivated through resilience and insight as much as through achievement. Listen for candid reflections on balancing ambition with life’s other demands, the philosophical underpinnings of a leadership style, and the often-unspoken challenges of carving out space in competitive industries. It’s a series dedicated to amplifying voices that not only succeed but also thoughtfully pave the way for others.
