HI! I'M DR. CHEYENNE E. BATISTA,
FOUNDER & CEO
Five years ago, I founded Firefly Worldwide because, in my own development as an organizational leader, I was constantly in search of the supports I needed to truly translate my intentions into results and to lead in ways that aligned with my values.
Through Firefly Worldwide’s work, I want social impact leaders like you to have simplified access to high-quality, tailored resources to support your organizations and, most importantly, your communities to thrive.
Ready to embark on a transformative leadership journey? Let’s get started!
We design and deliver customized professional development and coaching experiences that build your capacity in organizational leadership, people and change management, anti-racism and equity, and so much more.
We work closely with you to develop intentional, equity-centered goals and a strategic direction that translates your most ambitious short- and long-term aspirations into achievable results.
We provide you with guidance and thought partnership to design, scale, or refine your initiative to close any gaps between your greatest ideas and their brilliant outcomes.
Mohawk Trail Regional High School
“Working with Firefly has been invaluable as our rural, mostly white school has begun to tackle the difficult work of diversity, equity, and inclusion . . . The trainings that Firefly has done with our whole staff have given us common vocabulary and understandings to work from, and the coaching sessions with Cheyenne have helped us be confident in our work.”
Democracy Prep Public Schools
“[They] have done an amazing job getting to know me as a leader, getting to know our organization (past, present, and future aspirations), and customizing our professional development to best meet our needs.”
NYC Department of Education
“I felt like she really understood the challenges we faced and gave us tangible next steps in what often felt like an overwhelming situation.”
Impact Public Schools
“[Cheyenne] has truly influenced my leadership during a critical time period. What I love most about her style is her ability to push me while remaining compassionate. She is deeply thoughtful and all of her work is intentional. She is as invested in our organization's mission as our leadership team.”
Mohawk Trail Regional High School
“I couldn't be more encouraged by the impact this partnership has had on our school community thus far, and I'm confident that this work will lead to lasting growth and change. The strategic planning process has proved to be both ambitious in scope and pragmatic in execution. Cheyenne broke our work into pieces, helped us identify our leadership strengths, take responsibility for several connected projects, and created a system for us to hold ourselves accountable for fast-paced progress with the work.”
NYC Department of Education
“Our consultation was motivating and helped us feel like we can begin to try out suggestions for how to build trust in our office . . . Your experience in the field of equity helps provide practical solutions to challenging and thorny problems [and] narrow down our issues to areas where we felt "stuck" or unclear.”
