I started to practice my talks using the body language of the speakers I saw at the event and soon the first doors in Colombia opened and my stories with Chaos Engineering started to be accepted in meetups and local conferences. My work became more and more visible. Pierre Vincent, one of the QCon London track hosts, saw my work and invited me last year to speak at QCon in London. This opportunity was undoubtedly the highest point I have reached in my speaking career.
