Daniel Merza
Breaking the mould, Daniel is a dynamic and engaging speaker who delivers high energy presentations that educate, empower and inspire individuals towards achieving success and significance in their professional and personal lives.
Born to immigrant parents, Daniel's resilience was tested from day one. Having escaped death at birth, Daniel was a victim of bullying for most of his school life. On many occasions, Daniel was mislabelled as a young man with "no hope". While these labels were damaging to his self-esteem, they did not break his resolve. Though battered and bruised for many years, Daniel remained resilient. In his final year of school, Daniel broke through his personal, academic and social barriers to achieve exceptional academic results, including being listed in the Top 10% of Australia, defying all odds.
A Chartered Accountant at 23, Daniel has worked with some of Australia's largest accounting firms in senior management roles. While Daniel has achieved great success in his career, it was preceded by many failures, which is why his speaking messages to others are focused on using failure and adversity as fuel for growth and future success.
Despite his corporate success, Daniel knew deep down that his life carried a much greater purpose. As a result, Daniel entered the professional speaking arena. As an inspirational speaker, Daniel attracts a wide audience - from aspiring high school students right through to corporate professionals and business entrepreneurs. Any listener with ambition and drive will be motivated, empowered and inspired after hearing Daniel.
Having spoken to and inspired thousands of people, Daniel's core message to others is to "get the monkeys of your back" just like he was able to, and is passionate about helping people break through their barriers so they can "live up to their full potential" in their personal and professional lives.
