A CHANCE TO WIN...

As an alumni of the Professional-in-Training (PIT) Programme of Exxaro or currently a senior in the programme, share your experience and lessons learned about striking a balance between work and life.

We all felt overwhelmed at times, even out of control, with pressure building and feelings of burnout. How did you tackle these moments?  How did you manage to re-charge and re-focus?

Share a video where you explain/show us what you’ve done. This video must provide the viewer with a practical tip or tool to regain control.

It is important that you read & follow the technical tips below in shooting the video. 

Your video will form part of a toolkit that we will provide to all PITs, and who knows, you might even win a price. But more importantly, don’t underestimate the impact your video might have on the life of another person.

Let’s share our success stories!
