Chaos to Clarity: Business Strategist Launches CLIMB Framework to Tackle Burnout and Stabilize Coaches' Growth
TOLEDO, Ohio, May 15, 2025 /CNW/ -- As the global coaching industry ascends to around $6.25 billion in 2024 in value and women continue to dominate online coaching spaces, a critical gap has emerged: the lack of operational and strategic infrastructure needed to sustain that growth. Today, seasoned business strategist Katie Hahn announces the launch of The CLIMB Framework — a comprehensive, systems-based program designed to help women-led coaching businesses stabilize, scale, and thrive without burnout.
While the coaching space is booming in visibility, data paints a sobering picture behind the scenes. According to a report by the International Coaching Federation, approximately 72% of coach practitioners globally are women. Many are highly skilled in their craft, but struggle with the business backend — from clunky tech stacks to unclear offers to reactive sales processes.
"We're in a time where more women than ever are stepping into entrepreneurship, but most are still running their businesses with hustle and guesswork. CLIMB meets that moment with clarity and strategy." said Hahn.
The CLIMB Framework is built around five strategic pillars:
C – Clarify your business model & client strategy
L – Leverage systems & automation for stability
I – Implement key metrics that drive growth
M – Measure & optimize sales performance
B – Benchmark for continuous improvement
CLIMB isn't just tactical, it's transformational. The program includes a digital workbook, weekly live training, and a peer-supported community, giving women coaches the tools and accountability to lead their business like a CEO.
Designed for service-based entrepreneurs ready to move out of survival mode, CLIMB speaks to post-pandemic shifts in business expectations where women are no longer chasing hustle culture, but demanding freedom, clarity, and predictable income.
"CLIMB isn't just a framework—it's a roadmap out of burnout. It gives women the structure and confidence they need to grow without sacrificing freedom," says Hahn.

IBM Study: Sports Fans Demand More Dynamic Digital Content, Powered by AI
ARMONK, N.Y., Aug. 18, 2025 /CNW/ -- New global research commissioned by IBM (NYSE: IBM) reveals sports fans are turning to more dynamic digital content experiences, with AI, personalization and real-time features central to how they engage with sports. The study* of more than 20,000 sports fans across 12 countries shows they increasingly view technology – particularly AI -- as a positive force in sports. Total AI usage among fans has grown since 2024 across nearly all re-tested markets, ** with 85% of respondents seeing value in integrating the technology into their sports experience and 63% expressing trust in AI-generated sports content. Surveyed fans identify real-time game/match updates (35%) and personalized content (30%) as their top priorities for AI-enhanced sports engagement. Beyond live events, many respondents are turning to video highlights (51%), post-event recaps (37%) and player interviews (32%) to stay connected to their favorite sports. Dedicated mobile sports apps are also widely adopted -- 73% of surveyed fans confirm using them to stay updated. Social media is the leading platform for accessing additional content, and social media influencers play a prominent role, with 59% of surveyed followers engaging with them for analysis and predictions. Only 27% of surveyed fans expect their sports consumption habits to stay the same over the next two years. Eighty percent (80%) believe technology – specifically AI -- will have the greatest influence on how they follow sports by 2027. More than half (56%) of surveyed fans want AI-powered insights and commentary for past, current and future sporting events. Additionally, 33% of respondents believe real-time translation technology will have the most significant impact on their international sports experience in the next 2-3 years -- particularly in markets where English is not the dominant language. "The sports media landscape is more complex than ever, and fans are comfortable consuming digital content around the clock," said Kameryn Stanhouse, Vice President, Sports and Entertainment Partnerships, IBM. "With fans signaling their readiness to embrace AI, we will continue working with our tournament, league, and media partners to meet fans where they are, whether they're watching the action in person or enhancing their second-screen experience." Other key findings include: Sports engagement expands beyond the game with fast, non-stop content across screens Most (90%) fans surveyed consume sports content beyond watching events, with younger fans leading the trend. 40% of surveyed mobile sports app users rely on apps for centralized information and 35% for real-time updates when unable to watch games live. About 1 in 5 F1, golf, and tennis fans use apps tailored to their favorite sports. Mobile sports app usage jumps among in-person event attendees, with 82% of surveyed fans using apps during events. Of those, 91% engage with apps during live events, mostly for real-time commentary (44%), stats or analytics (41%) and enhanced in-stadium experiences (35%). Among fans surveyed in both 2024 and 2025, multi-device usage to follow sporting events increased from 27% to 29%, indicating a significant upward trend in second-screen behavior. 74% of respondents following sports influencers say storytelling is important to how they experience or connect with sports, especially among fans ages 18-44. Fans seek more connected, community-driven sports experiences 35% surveyed plan to watch more live content over the next two years, and 29% expect to attend more events in person. Fans surveyed agree that enhancements like faster recaps (67%), personalization capabilities (65%) and greater access to players and teams (65%) will improve their digital sports experience. Interest in community-driven experiences is rising: More fans rank community engagement as their first or second priority when consuming sports content, with the share of respondents ranking it as their top priority (1 st) rising from 9% in 2024 to 11% in 2025.** More respondents now identify community-building and fan interaction as important areas for AI-driven improvements in sports engagement (21% in 2025 vs. 20% in 2024).** To view the full study, visit: *Study Methodology This survey was conducted in June 2025 among a total sample of 20,864 sports fans 18+ in the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Brazil.

WESTSHORE TERMINALS ANNOUNCES OUTAGE AT BERTH 1 AND UPDATES 2025 THROUGHPUT GUIDANCE
VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 17, 2025 /CNW/ - Westshore Terminals Investment Corporation (TSX: WTE) (the "Corporation" or "Westshore") announces that on August 16, 2025 there was a fire on the shiploader which services Berth 1. The fire crews extinguished the fire safely, and there were no injuries involved. At this time, based on our preliminary limited inspection and assuming there is no significant structural damage, we estimate Berth 1 to be out of commission for approximately ten weeks to perform the necessary repairs to the mechanical and electrical systems. Westshore will provide an update on the duration of the outage once a detailed inspection has been performed and the time to source replacement parts/materials for the necessary repairs is confirmed. Operations at Berth 2 will continue in the ordinary course throughout this repair work and Westshore will work with its customers and the railways to reduce the impact as much as possible. As a result of the Berth 1 outage, and based on information currently available, Westshore anticipates throughput volumes for 2025 to be approximately 24.0-24.5 million tonnes, a reduction from the previously disclosed estimate of approximately 26.0 million tonnes. Additional information will be provided as it becomes available. The foregoing statements concerning the anticipated timing and extent of repairs required at Berth 1, and anticipated 2025 throughput volumes are forward-looking statements that reflect the current expectations of the Corporation with respect to future events and performance. Forward-looking statements should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time they are made, assumptions made by management, and management's good faith belief with respect to future events and will be impacted by and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those referenced above, risks inherent in a project of the scale of the Berth 1 repairs, as well as those outlined in the Corporation's Annual Information Form that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, historical results or current expectations.
