Understanding Your MayaMaya Report

Your MayaMaya report, titled Skill Analysis & Upskilling Strategy, explains your soft skills, what motivates you, the job roles that fit you best, and what to work on next. This guide explains each section.

How scores work

• MayaMaya measures ten core soft skills. Each one is made up of more specific skills, called sub-skills.
• In your report, scores are shown on a 5-point scale.
• Elsewhere in MayaMaya, such as in your organization's Business Console, the same scores are shown on a 10-point scale. The report score is the 10-point score divided by two, so a 3.5 in your report equals a 7 in the Business Console.

Report sections

Life Vectors

Life Vectors describe what motivates you at work across four areas: Spirit, Purpose, Profession, and Reward. The report describes you with one word for each area and suggests the kinds of roles and environments that suit you.

Your Upskilling Strategy

MayaMaya compares your experience, skills, and aspirations with industry benchmarks and names the two job roles that fit you best. This section includes:

• Your skills against industry benchmarks – your score for each soft skill next to the level expected for each recommended role.
• Key Takeaways – the main areas to focus on.
• Suggested Next Steps – short, practical activities you can start right away.

Job Skills

For each recommended role, you will see two lists:

• Benchmark Skills – the job skills commonly expected in that role.
• Missing Skills – your priority upskilling targets, based on your current profile.

Start with one or two missing skills, build momentum, and come back to this list as your skills grow.

Making the most of your report

• Focus first on your lowest sub-skills. They usually offer the quickest improvement.
• Try the Suggested Next Steps for a few weeks.
• Answer another 27 questions to get a new report, then use What Changed? to track your progress.
• Keep your Skills Profile and resume up to date so your role recommendations stay accurate.
