"Lori was extremely helpful and instrumental in assisting with a long term employment individual that went sideways"
Allie Owens
"I have been with the company for 8 years and have seen a lot of people come in and out of the HR Department. There has never been a leader like Lori Bishop. Her knowledge and experience in HR is incredibly impressive. She has such a strong passion for people, which is crucial to a HR leader. She is open, trustworthy and hard-working. Those characteristics allow her team members to rely on her and strive for more. I have never wanted to work harder for someone. She provided me with so many opportunities and grew my HR career exponentially. She builds and maintains a team environment that is solely focused on mutual trust and respect. I am forever grateful for all that Lori have taught me. She is a HR firecracker that any company will be lucky to have!"

"I had the privilege of working with Lori for a little over four years, but with the relationships she fostered on our team, it feels much longer - in a great way! Lori’s experience, expertise, and ability to innovate enabled us to successfully migrate to a 100% remote workforce in the midst of the COVID pandemic. Her leadership in the DEIB space enabled us to start transparent conversations about social justice and race at work. For the first time in my professional career I felt I could bring all of myself to work without fear of judgment or feelings of inadequacy. When I think of Lori, I think of fairness - fairness in opportunity, compensation, having a voice… She embodies what a leader should be. Lori speaks life into everyone she encounters and acknowledges what one may think is an insignificant action or achievement, and shows that person they are capable of greatness. She pushed me beyond my comfort zone because she knew I was capable of more, and I will forever be grateful for the time, energy, and belief she poured into me along with the personal and professional development opportunities she provided."

Putting people over politics.
"Solving today’s problems while addressing the root cause.
Creating a space to be vulnerable.
A laugh that always makes me feel safe.
These are just a few statements that come to mind when I think of a great leader and my colleague, Lori Bishop.
Lori is people-first leader. This philosophy their wellbeing, career development along with providing feedback that can be tough to hear but always has the best intent.
It’s been amazing to see Lori’s growth as a HR leader, her scaled business impact and ability to drive impact in complex environments where resistance to change is requested but free rejected.
I’ve had the opportunity of working with Lori at several companies in my career and most recently working for Lori (as a consultant) leading a leadership values session with her CEO and leadership team. This was an exceptional experience as Lori ensured I was well prepared, knew “what to look out for” and offered possible suggestions on how to navigate. She ensured her entire team was available to support the preparation and event. It was smooth sailing.
At PCI, Lori led a broad scale business, operational and HR transformation with the leadership team. This resulted in increased productivity, improved financial efficiency, reduction of recruitment times and the introduction of EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System for Business).
I’m thankful for Lori’s influence in my career - her guidance as a mentor and friend."
Heather McDaniel
"Lori is an incredible leader that I had the honor of learning from. Lori’s approach to people development is one that is truly unmatched. During my time under Lori she taught me many things about how to support, love, and influence those around us. Her love for her team and their development was always front of mind and demonstrated by her actions. She is incredibly talented and effective leader. She is always her authentic self and encourages those around her to do the same. I enjoyed working on projects with her as she is always open to feedback and improvements to ensure we have the best end results. She has a vision and once shared you’ll want to join her journey. I truly appreciate LB and all the love and support she provides. I’m a better leader because of her leadership. Lead with love!"
Pat Parrish
"I am extremely pleased to recommend Lori for any position, appointment, or membership with your company or organization. Lori and I became client customers in 2018 and have continued the relationship since our initial entrance meeting. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Lori and learned she is a precious asset to the clients' team human resource industry network member.
Coushatta Fuller
"Lori truly took the fear out of HR. For employees "HR" can be a scary or unsettling word, it can be the adult equivalent of being sent to the principal's office. I felt the same way until I met Lori and had the privilege of discovering how HR is supposed to work- as your partner. Imagine that!
As an organizational leader, my main concern was how can I make things better for my employees and my team? It was so refreshing to partner with an HR leader who valued people and was willing to cut through the noise to find real, transformational solutions. Lori's influence and willingness to tackle any situation impacted the entire organization from the C-suite to the receptionists.
Again and again, I've been impressed by Lori's ability to handle even the toughest situations - gone were PIPs - it was how can we really help you be better at your assigned role, or perhaps find something better suited for you. Transformational!
Who knew consulting with HR could be fun? With Lori it definitely was. She shares practical knowledge and makes "standard HR policy" relatable by helping leaders and employees break away from the rigidity that makes us forget that employees are people, too. I would highly recommend that any organization undergoing structural change, wanting to revamp current corporate culture or wanting to demonstrate from a leadership level the value of employees talk to Lori. You will NOT regret it."
Sean Storey
"It was my absolute pleasure and honor working with Lori Bishop during her time at Monitronics. She has an incredibly sharp business acumen, and her career achievements are extremely impressive. However, I remember Lori for the way she changed the culture at Monitronics almost immediately.
Lori is a leader in every sense of the word. Her business philosophy is deceptively simple--if you invest in your people, your business will reap the dividends. The phrase, "Our people are our most valuable resource," has become a cliche in business, unfortunately, but Lori's passion for her employees is unquestioned and yields tangible results.
Lori demands excellence because it is what she provides from the moment she walks in the door, and she is not afraid to set that high expectation from everyone she works for or with.
Lori is an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind leader that adds value immediately and I am proud to have worked with and learned from her."
Kathy LaMarr-Bines
"Lori is one of the most talented HR Business Partners I've ever had the pleasure to work with. She was a visionary HR leader at DPSG, able to transform a newly acquired business unit with a myriad of employee relations and staff challenges, into a high performing business that became a model for other parts of DPSG. At that time, I supported the company's training and organization development needs by partnering with over 40 field-based HR practitioners. Lori and her HR team were always the most interesting group to work with because of their focus on innovative ways to engage various employee populations.
Lori dealt with DPSG colleagues in a pragmatic and fair way that gained her many admirers. Plant floor employees regularly brought her home-baked goods as tokens of their appreciation; senior executives were unable to refute the efficacy of the non-traditional practices she implemented, which ultimately created a high performing workplace.
As a leader, Lori was always honest and straightforward about the high expectations she demanded from her staff, enabling them to practice HR at a level of professionalism not previously experienced by anyone on her team."
Amiee Moser
"Lori Bishop's management style will forever be ingrained in my mind due to her perseverance, innovations and positivity. Interactivity with all employees seemed to play a huge part in steadfast and fair decision making skills. Lori is the most motivated and multitasking HR Director (or people, in general!) I have ever met. Not to mention her smile is unforgettable!"
David McMichael
"In a word, Lori is a "force." She is an extremely talented HR professional who places extremely high standards on her own performance. She makes positive assumptions about her co-workers and she truly values the people she works around. She celebrates the success of others in a genuine way and her only "agenda" is helping improve the performance measures of the team. I am so glad I had the opportunity to work with Lori and experience her fearless pursuit of: (as she says) "let's not be good, let's be great!"
Lorie Morris

Ilyce Murray
"It has been my pleasure working with Lori at CSAB. She is very knowledgable in the field of HR, and my own career in HR has blossomed due to my association with her. She displays great character and work ethics, and is very supportive as a team player. Her leadership skills are impeccable, and I truly appreciate her ability to jump in and "pull the cart" at a moment's notice. She challenges those around her to ask the hard questions with confidence and to deal with areas of opportunity with fairness and professionalism. Even when faced with a challenge herself, she stands firm to what she believes in and exudes strength and self-confidence beyond compare."
