Both of these presenters also move away from being overtly positive or self-congratulatory in how they describe their accomplishments.

This is an advanced approach to making a presentation; they are both relying on the paradox of defeat to show how success comes out of the focus and discipline it requires. These are very powerful techniques in public speaking and presentations because both of these celebrities aren't afraid to admit so publically how far they fell in their lives before experiencing exceptional success. In doing this they make their presentations resonate with an exceptionally high level of trust and transparency. Combining this with the humility these globally-known celebrities have, they deliver two of the world's most known speeches.
