Where Purpose meets Power
Life Coaching for Uncovering Full Potential
By S Coaching
Hi, I’m Sehaam Bateman — life and business coach, humanitarian at heart, and a fierce believer in the power of truth, kindness, and purpose.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to people’s stories — the ones whispered behind brave smiles, the ones waiting to be heard. I grew up in a world where strength often meant silence, but I’ve learned that true strength lives in authenticity. Today, I help others break through the noise, rise above fear, and reconnect with the power that’s always been within them.
With a background in strategy, leadership, and business development, I’ve spent years guiding individuals and organizations toward growth that feels good — not just profitable, but purposeful. Whether I’m working with an executive team, mentoring young minds, or walking alongside someone as they rediscover their "why", I bring compassion, clarity, and a deep respect for the human journey.
This work isn’t just my profession — it’s my calling. Because I believe when we heal ourselves, we change our families. We change our businesses. We change the world.
Welcome to a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out — just be willing to begin.
My Story
I was born and raised in a small community of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. I was the youngest of three and an only girl. I have known physical abuse from a young age and in my teens was sexually abused. I became pregnant at the age of 19 and immediately married. By 22 I was divorced. I was a single mother with with two kids, when I remarried and had a third child. I am the proud mother of three adult children, a daughter who is a fashion designer, a son who is a neuropsychologist and another son who has just graduated high school and pursuing a career in the arts.
I began my career in Public Relations and Marketing, but an unexpected operation left me with a four-year memory loss—an event that triggered a period of depression and deep soul searching. That turning point became the foundation of my transformation. Which led me to my current career path as a Life Coach, Speaker, and Workshop Facilitator who teaches from real experience.
Today, I speak and teach on the human experience, behavior, change, and potential. My signature workshops—FEAR (Face Everything and Rise), The 360 Life Workshop, and Talent Dynamics—help individuals and teams navigate challenges, build balance, and unlock performance. Whether I'm coaching one-on-one or leading from the stage, my focus is always on helping people create fulfilled lives and meaningful careers.
I am also the founder of Ignite, a mentorship group launched in 2016. Through Ignite, I mentor 10 young girls from gang- and drug-impacted neighborhoods, helping them stay in school and pursue higher education. A passionate philanthropist and advocate for human potential, I am committed to change—from the inside out.
I am a CSR Consultant, helping companies to give back responsibly and to build CSR Teams from within, mentoring employees on giving of their time to make a difference in their relevant cities.
Having lived and worked in Vietnam, Singapore, North Carolina and India and travelled to many others, I have had the privilege to gain experience with different cultures, ethnicities and religions. This has helped me to have a greater sense of awareness and an understanding of the diverse challenges in the many different ethnic groups. I believe that everything that has happened for me has led me here, to a place where I get to help build purpose driven lives and help others find their light as I have found mine.
