Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 14, 2020 Journalists Share Posted May 14, 2020 Who has been the biggest inspiration in your career and why? MK: The biggest inspirations in my career have been both my father Noel Kilduff and my husband Sonny Carey. My Father has been a cattle farmer and horse dealer all his life and from a young age shaped my thinking and taught me the importance of staying focused and to get as much experience as possible. With regard to Sonny; his determination, work ethic and his constant drive to help me better myself has played a huge role. My career has been relatively short, but I have worked for some really good people that have guided me in the right direction. Michael Donohoe of BBA Ireland was the first to trust my judgement. Dermot Cantillon and Meta Osborne both took me under their wing and exposed me to other areas of the industry. Since I joined Goffs two years ago, I’ve worked closely with Nick Nugent who has given me constant encouragement and guidance in developing myself and my role. What’s the best advice you’ve been given and why did it stick with you? MK: I was taught from an early age to take everything in and treat everyone with the respect they deserve. Do not be afraid to admit you are wrong and always remember that you will never know everything. No matter how far you go up the ladder always keep one foot on the ground. Never step back from hard work and when it comes to your own career, do what is best for you. Never forget where you came from, enjoy it and remember Rome wasn’t built in a day.
