Nice to meet you. I’m Erick Damilus.

Welcome! I’m Erick Damilus, the creator of Mastering Growth Mindset for Professionals.

I know what it feels like to work hard, lead teams, and still wrestle with self-doubt. Even when everything looks successful on paper, there’s often an internal battle—one that doesn’t go away with promotions or titles. I’ve been there.

My Journey – From IT Teacher to Cybersecurity Specialist at the EU HQ

My career began as an IT teacher, helping others build technical skills and confidence. Teaching wasn’t just about sharing knowledge—it taught me how to simplify complex ideas, inspire growth, and guide people through uncertainty.

From there, I stepped into leadership as an IT team leader, managing teams through high-pressure projects. Leadership wasn’t just about delegation—it required me to navigate challenges, foster trust, and develop the emotional intelligence to lead effectively.

Later, I transitioned into cybersecurity, where I worked as an specialist at the EU headquarters. The technical challenges were tough, but I quickly realized the biggest battles weren’t external—they were internal.

Even with career success, imposter syndrome, limiting beliefs, and self-doubt followed me into meeting rooms and leadership discussions. I often felt like I had to prove myself, even when I already belonged at the table.

Turning Inward – The Shift That Changed Everything

That’s when I began exploring mindfulness, embodiment training, and emotional mastery. These practices helped me break free from hidden blocks, reframe limiting beliefs, and rediscover confidence.

I immersed myself in transformative programs that focused on:

Embodiment Training – Connecting deeply with the body to manage stress, process emotions, and lead with authenticity.

Non-Violent Communication (NVC) – Learning to express myself clearly and handle challenging conversations with empathy.

Inclusive & Servant Leadership Programs – Building environments where diverse teams can thrive, grounded in empathy and trust.

Silent Meditation Retreats – Deepening focus, resilience, and clarity through extended periods of mindfulness.

The Mankind Project – Strengthening self-awareness, leadership, and emotional growth.
