Lucy Dickins, long-time agent for Adele and Mumford & Sons, to exit WME after seven years

Lucy Dickins, WME’s Global Head of Contemporary Music and Touring, is exiting the agency after seven years.

In an email sent to staff, obtained by MBW, Christian Muirhead, Co-Chairman of WME, confirmed Dickins’ departure, with current Co-Head Kirk Sommer set to continue to lead the company’s Contemporary Music division moving forward.

One of the most influential talent agents working in music today, Dickins has worked with acts including Adele, Mumford & Sons, Hot Chip, Jamie T, Little Simz, Bryan Ferry, and Mabel.

Joining WME in June 2019, Dickins originally served as Head of the company’s UK Music division, after leaving International Talent Booking (ITB) in London, where she had worked for more than 20 years.

The British music agent was promoted to the position of co-head of Music in 2020, and was elevated to the global role in 2022 after relocating to Los Angeles.

In 2023, she received the Music Industry Trusts Award (MITS) in London in recognition of her 25+ year career.

“Over the past seven years, Lucy helped us navigate one of the most disruptive periods in the live music business.”

Christian Muirhead, WME

At WME, she oversaw all aspects of the agency’s contemporary music and touring business across Beverly Hills, New York, Nashville, London and Sydney.

“We wanted to share with everyone that our friend and colleague Lucy Dickins will be leaving WME,” said Muirhead.

“Over the past seven years, Lucy helped us navigate one of the most disruptive periods in the live music business. As the head of our UK office, she re-energized our presence in London, built a strong team, and solidified WME’s leadership in the region. Then COVID hit and she dove right in, taking on her expanded role, relocating to Los Angeles, and providing critical support to our team during an unprecedented crisis.

“On the other side of the pandemic, she led major signings, constructed innovative tour models, and brought exceptional heart and enthusiasm to our business.

“Kirk Sommer will continue to lead the Contemporary Music division moving forward, and we will keep you posted with further updates.

“Please join us in wishing Lucy the best in her next chapter.”

Dickins’ next move has not yet been announced, but Hits Daily Double reports she may be headed to rival agency CAA.

Dickins began her career working as a Junior Product Manager for independent UK record label PWL before joining ITB as an assistant in the early 1990s, rising through the ranks at the agency.

Dickins’ grandfather, Percy Dickins, founded the long-running music weekly the New Musical Express (NME). Her father, Barry, formed ITB in 1978 with a client list that included Bob Dylan and Neil Young.

Her uncle Rob was longtime head of Warner Music in the UK, and her brother Jonathan heads up management company September Management with a roster that includes Adele.Music Business Worldwide

Sellers rush back into housing market as relistings hit decade high

In many markets, there were simply more sellers than shoppers, and properties that lingered were quietly taken down rather than repriced.

Relistings test buyers’ new bargaining power

“Many sellers who pulled their homes off the market last year are relisting now in hopes of capitalizing on spring homebuying season,” said Andrew Vallejo, a Redfin Premier agent in Austin, Texas.

“I’m working with one couple who plans to relist their current home as soon as they close the deal on the house they’re in the process of buying. Their house was on the market last year, but they didn’t have an incentive to lower the price enough to attract buyers because they hadn’t yet found their dream home.”

Mortgage rates fell to about 5.98% last week, the lowest level in more than three years, giving would‑be buyers slightly more room in their budgets.

“Homebuyers are already scoring discounts because there are more homes for sale than people who want to buy them, and it’s possible those discounts will get bigger if relistings boost supply further,” said Redfin senior economist Asad Khan.

Emirates to restore all Dubai routes in ‘days’ as Gulf air travel returns

Emirates plans to restore all its routes from Dubai “in the coming days” as Middle Eastern airlines increase services despite conflict across the region’s airspace.

The Dubai carrier said it was now operating flights to about 60 per cent of its destinations. “The airline anticipates a return to 100 per cent of its network within the coming days, subject to airspace availability and the fulfilment of all operational requirements,” it added.

Emirates said it carried about 30,000 passengers out of Dubai on Thursday.

Etihad said it would resume a limited service from Abu Dhabi from Friday, in a further sign that air travel across the region was slowly resuming after a week in which tens of thousands of flights were cancelled.

Global travel has been upended by the closure of airspaces across much of the Middle East, with millions of passengers worldwide hit by the cancellations.

The returning schedules come as German carrier Lufthansa said it had seen a sharp increase in demand for its long-haul routes to Asia and Africa by passengers avoiding flying through the region, which remains in the grip of conflict even as air travel returns.

An Air France flight on Thursday repatriating French citizens had to turn back after missile fire over Dubai, while Qatar’s airspace remains closed.

Both Etihad and Emirates have been running some repatriation flights in the past days but normal services have remained suspended because of closed airspace and the conflict. 

Etihad “will resume a limited commercial flight schedule from March 6 2026, operating between Abu Dhabi and a number of key destinations”, it said on Friday.

“The decision has been taken in co-ordination with relevant authorities following extensive safety and security assessments,” it added.

Emirates said earlier on Friday that it was also restarting some scheduled services to take passengers through Dubai to other flights, rather than just repatriating stranded passengers. 

“Customers transiting in Dubai will only be accepted for travel if their connecting flight is operating,” it said. “Please do not go to the airport unless you hold a confirmed booking for these flights.”

Air traffic at Dubai airport is back to a quarter of its capacity before the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, as travel out of the region begins to pick up after almost a week of disruption.

Some 310 planes took off or landed at the airport on Thursday, according to data from Flightradar24. This was almost double the 161 on Wednesday, and a quarter of 1,257 last Friday, the day before the attacks started. 

Qatar Airways, which has been running a limited number of flights from Oman, is still unable to fly from its Doha base because airspace remains closed. 

About one-third of journeys between Europe and Asia involve changing at Gulf airports.

On Friday, Lufthansa warned the war in the Middle East had shown that the high volumes of flights through Gulf hubs was a “geopolitical Achilles heel” for the airline industry.

The German carrier is exploring plans to lay on more flights to destinations such as Singapore, India, China and South Africa in response but warned that the conflict had increased uncertainty for the industry.

“The war in the Middle East proves once again how exposed air traffic is and how vulnerable it remains,” said chief executive Carsten Spohr.

Spohr, who has previously chafed at perceived unfair competition from Gulf-based airlines, said the conflict “makes it even more important not to further disadvantage European airlines and hubs”.

He is among airline executives who have lobbied the European Commission to scrap an aviation deal with Qatar amid corruption allegations against a former senior EU official.

Lufthansa on Friday reported record revenues in 2025 of €39.6bn, up from €37.6bn in the previous year. The group’s net income fell slightly to €1.3bn from €1.4bn in the previous year. Earnings were expected to significantly increase again this year, despite greater uncertainty.

What to Do When Your Board Is Meddling in Operational Work

Boards are acting more like operators than ever before. In a volatile environment shaped by economic uncertainty, disruptive competition, and rising expectations around AI, many directors feel a heightened responsibility to keep their companies on track. That pressure is reshaping how boards engage. The share of directors with CEO and operating experience is growing and the line between governance and management is getting blurrier as private equity-style monitoring and intervention are more widely adopted.

Why a Job Loss Still Feels Like a Dirty Secret, According to Workers

globalinvestmentstrategy.com
-
0


Editor’s Note: This story originally appeared on Monster.

Layoffs are being discussed everywhere from headlines and LinkedIn feeds to group chats. Yet when it comes time to update a resume, many workers still feel they need to keep quiet.

According to Monster’s Layoff Stigma Study, based on responses from more than 1,000 employed U.S. workers, one in three workers (33%) say they would hide a layoff on their resume if they were laid off tomorrow.

Even in an era of widespread corporate downsizing, job seekers remain conflicted about how much transparency is too much.

The findings reveal a modern paradox: Layoffs are increasingly common and publicly discussed, yet many workers still fear how a layoff might be perceived by recruiters and hiring managers.

Key Findings

  • 33% of workers say they would hide a layoff on their resume
  • 54% would feel embarrassed discussing a layoff socially
  • 69% say stigma around layoffs has not improved
  • 67% would keep a layoff off LinkedIn

One in Three Workers Would Hide a Layoff

Even as layoffs become more common, many workers feel pressure to conceal them during the job search process.

  • 33% of workers say that if they were laid off tomorrow, they would hide it on their resume
  • 67% would add the layoff transparently on their resume

The Social Stigma Isn’t Gone

Layoffs may be common, but they’re still uncomfortable to talk about. When asked how they feel discussing a layoff socially:

  • 46% say they are not embarrassed at all
  • 40% say they are a little embarrassed
  • 14% say they are very or extremely embarrassed

That means more than half of workers experience some level of embarrassment when talking about being laid off, even during a year marked by mass corporate cuts.

Layoff Stigma Isn’t Improving

Workers are divided on whether perceptions around layoffs are improving:

  • 24% say layoff stigma is worse than in previous years
  • 45% say it’s about the same
  • 31% believe it’s getting better

Despite the frequency of layoffs across industries, many workers feel that the narrative hasn’t shifted enough and for some, it’s actually deteriorating.

Most Workers Prefer Privacy Online

Public layoff announcements have become more visible on LinkedIn, particularly in the tech sector. But for most workers, discretion still wins.

  • 67% say they would keep a layoff private on LinkedIn
  • 33% say they would announce it openly

While viral layoff posts can generate support and networking opportunities, the majority of workers still worry about visibility, judgment, or long-term professional consequences.

What Workers Consider Fair Severance

The study also sheds light on how workers think about financial protection during layoffs:

  • 35% believe severance should be based on tenure
  • 9% believe severance should exceed 6 months
  • 25% say 3–6 months of pay is fair
  • 21% expect 1–2 months
  • 10% say 2–4 weeks

Workers overwhelmingly favor longer severance packages, with 90% expecting at least one month of pay or severance tied to tenure.

What This Means for Job Seekers

The takeaway is clear: layoffs may be common, but the stigma hasn’t disappeared. Many workers still feel the need to manage perception carefully, especially on resumes and social platforms.

That’s why clarity, context, and confidence matter more than ever. Job seekers who are transparent and focus on accomplishments rather than circumstances are better positioned to control their story.

To help workers navigate resume updates after a layoff, Monster offers a free resume builder and free customizable templates, designed to help job seekers present their career history with clarity and confidence.

Because a layoff may be part of your story but it doesn’t define your value.

Methodology

This survey was conducted by Pollfish on January 7, 2026, among 1,002 currently employed U.S. workers. Respondents answered a series of multiple-choice questions examining perceptions of layoffs, resume disclosure, workplace stigma, social sharing, and severance expectations.

The sample included representation across generations, with 17% Gen Z (born 1997 or later), 27% Millennials (born 1981–1996), 27% Gen X (born 1965–1980), and 29% Baby Boomers (born 1946–1964). Respondents identified their gender as 46% male, 54% female.

Here’s How You Can Improve Your Existing Systems With Industry-Leading Tools

This article is presented by RentRedi.

Most DIY landlords are more organized than they give themselves credit for. You likely have a spreadsheet for rent tracking, leases saved in folders, maintenance conversations documented in texts, and a solid mental grasp of what’s happening across your properties. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement.

Property management software isn’t about starting over or fixing something that’s broken. It’s about taking the systems you already use and bringing them into one streamlined, efficient hub. When everything lives in one place, your rental business becomes easier to manage, easier to grow, and far less dependent on you remembering every moving piece.

Streamlining Daily Operations

As portfolios grow, even from one unit to two or three, the number of small, repetitive tasks grows with them. Collecting rent, tracking deposits, responding to maintenance requests, sending reminders, organizing leases, and preparing reports for your accountant all take time. None of these tasks are difficult on their own, but they do require attention. Platforms like RentRedi are designed to streamline those tasks so you can spend less time on administration and more time focusing on your investment strategy.

Take rent collection as an example. Instead of manually checking payment apps or bank deposits, tenants pay through an app via ACH, card, or even cash at retail locations. Many choose autopay, which means rent shows up consistently without reminders. With RentRedi, you receive instant payment notifications, and every transaction is automatically tracked. Your records stay current without extra work, and you always have a clean paper trail.

Maintenance becomes more structured and professional as well. Tenants submit requests directly through the app, often with photos or videos attached. You can assign the issue to a vendor, track progress, and keep all communication documented in one place. Instead of scattered text threads, everything is tied directly to the unit and stored for easy reference. Communication overall feels more streamlined when it stays inside a centralized platform, keeping conversations organized and searchable while helping you maintain healthy boundaries around your personal phone.

Scaling Your Portfolio with Efficiency

Marketing vacant units also becomes more efficient. Rather than creating separate listings across multiple sites, you can syndicate your property to major platforms like Zillow, Trulia, HotPads, and Craigslist with a single post. Applications flow back into the same system, where you can review and screen applicants. Built-in screening, powered through a partnership with TransUnion, allows you to run credit, criminal, and eviction reports directly within the platform, typically paid for by the applicant. Keeping everything under one roof simplifies decision-making and documentation.

One of the most underrated benefits, especially for smaller landlords, is accounting clarity. When rent and expenses are tracked automatically, generating profit and loss statements, expense summaries, and income reports becomes simple. Come tax time, a Schedule E makes the entire process smoother. Even if you own just one property, you’re operating a business. Organized financials don’t just reduce stress; they give you better visibility into performance and profitability.

Some landlords hesitate because they assume switching software will be time-consuming. Today, that transition is far easier than most expect. AI-powered onboarding that allows you to upload existing lease documents, automatically extracting property addresses, tenant names, rent amounts, and key dates. What once required hours of manual entry can now take minutes. You connect your bank account, invite tenants, and you’re up and running. Tenants typically adapt quickly as well. Paying rent, signing leases, and submitting maintenance requests through an app feels natural in today’s world.

The Advantage for Small Landlords

It’s also worth reframing the idea that only “large” landlords benefit from property management software. In reality, smaller landlords often see the greatest impact. When you have one, two, or three units, you don’t have staff, bookkeepers, or assistants. You are the operations team. Software becomes your leverage, helping you operate with the efficiency of a much larger portfolio while keeping overhead low. Automated rent collection, centralized communication, tenant screening, lease e-signing, vacancy syndication, and built-in accounting all add professionalism and consistency to your business, regardless of size.

There’s an additional advantage many investors may not realize: RentRedi is included as part of the BiggerPockets Pro membership at no additional charge. If you’re already a Pro member, you have access to a full property management platform built into your membership. That means you can centralize operations, strengthen your systems, and elevate your rental business without adding another software expense.

Ultimately, this isn’t about fixing a broken system. It’s about enhancing a good one. You’ve already built the foundation of your rental business. Bringing everything into one streamlined platform simply helps you run it more efficiently, more professionally, and with greater confidence. And if you’re a BiggerPockets Pro member, you already have the tools available, the next step is simply putting them to work.

Capital One: MLB Tickets For 5,000 Points (Great Seat Locations)


The Offer

Direct link to offer

  • Capital One are offering tickets to MLB games for 5,000 points per ticket. You need to look for tickets that say ‘Pay With Rewards only’ and ‘Cardholder exclusive tickets by Capital One’ if it says by vivid seats these are bad value. 

Our Verdict

There are only four of these tickets per game and they generally sell out quickly. They are also in a very desirable location making them particularly good buys. April & May tickets have just been added, I’ll try to remember to repost when new dates become available.

Mortgage Rates Back to Recent Highs on War Uncertainties

Mortgage Rates Back to Recent Highs on War Uncertainties


It was another bad day for mortgage rates as the reality of the war sets in.

While our fears were assuaged yesterday that oil and gas tankers would receive safe passage via the Strait of Hormuz, experts quickly debunked the idea.

In short, while President Trump provided assurances and said the Navy would provide cover if needed, ships may still choose to stay put for larger safety concerns.

That led to a bump in bond yields, with the 10-year reaching its highest point since early February (~4.14%). It was sub-4% last week…

The 30-year fixed also rose to its highest point in about a month as oil prices climbed above $80 for the first time in over a year.

The takeaway here is this war or whatever you want to call it might not be resolved as quickly as they’re saying. And that could be a drag on the economy.

Mortgage Rates Suffer a Setback Thanks to Inflation Fears Fueled by Rising Oil Prices

It appears the move back toward recent lows may have been short-lived as the 30-year fixed climbed back to its recent highs today.

This according to Mortgage News Daily, which pegged the 30-year fixed at 6.13%, up from 6.07% yesterday.

That actually matches the same rate seen Monday, but is still well above the 5.99% average we saw Friday before the Iranian situation emerged.

Typically, you get a flight to safety when geopolitical events take place. This means investors flee risk assets like stocks and buy bonds, which are known as a safe haven.

We’ve yet to see that happen, which is seemingly peculiar but might speak to the unprecedented nature of this conflict.

Iran is a worthy adversary and one that likely will not back down, evidenced by its many attacks stretching as far as “Europe” since it was attacked.

That reality, along with the fact that the nearby Persian Gulf is a key thoroughfare for energy shipping tells you why.

Inflation erodes the value of bonds and if it’s expected to rise due to higher oil prices, there will be upward pressure on interest rates.

That’s what we’ve seen thus far and while that could change over time, the initial reaction is higher bond yields and higher mortgage rates. Oh, and a tanking stock market…

Expect Volatile Mortgage Rates Until This Is Resolved

The big question to ask is how long this fight will go on. Will this be a prolonged conflict or shorter than expected?

Will it be resolved in the 4-5 weeks that President Trump has claimed, or will it go on for months or even longer?

I think either way it’s safe to say it’s going to extend for much of the spring home buying season, which means mortgage rates will be more volatile than usual, all else equal.

Expect bigger swings up and down than usual at a critical time for the housing market, which has struggled mightily these past few years.

This could be the unexpected event that dampens home sales for yet another year, with existing sales still moving at a snail’s pace not seen in 30 years.

Consumer Confidence Is at Stake Even If Costs Are Similar

There’s also the intangible effects of this conflict, which might give some home buyers pause to make the leap from renting.

If affordability is already strained and uncertainty heightened, more prospective buyers may decide just to wait it out.

The same goes for someone looking at their stock portfolio and thinking they’re not as rich as they thought. And perhaps aren’t in a position to buy a home.

The silver lining is despite this all happening, mortgage rates remain near the lowest levels since 2022.

They’re only up an .125% or so relative to recent lows, which is negligible monthly-payment wise.

It would arguably have been a lot worse if the 30-year fixed was still hovering around 7% or higher.

As such, some might brush off the news and the unknowns and be grateful they can still snag a rate in the low 6s or even high 5s.
