Carol Thompson has built a career that’s hard to put in a single box — and that’s exactly the point. A certified paralegal by training, Carol fell into human resources almost by accident when a CEO at a book club dinner asked if she’d be willing to try it. Twelve years later, she was an HR Director overseeing employees in 18 states, Canada, and Mexico. When her company was acquired and she chose not to relocate, she did something most people only dream about: she turned her expertise into her own business.
Today Carol runs Thompson Professional Resources, an HR and legal consulting practice serving companies of all sizes, and also coaches professionals through career transitions as part of the Power Connections outplacement team. She is, among other things, my own career transition coach — and one of the reasons Her Intentional Reset exists.
Carol lives in Southern California with her husband and is the proud mom of three daughters, one of whom is getting married. She is direct, warm, practical, and has strong opinions about both setting your billable rate and making sure your workout class goes on the calendar first.
