We are organizers, trainers, managers of people and projects, and campaign strategists.
We believe that to solve the most pressing issues we need to work with those closest to the problems to identify solutions and engage broad constituencies in advocacy. We ensure that campaigns are rooted in the communities they aim to serve because no matter where we come from or what our color, we all deserve healthy, thriving communities.
What we offer
Support organizations to run thoughtful campaigns
Whether it is creating a county or city-level ballot initiative, moving a bill through a state legislature, or designing a campaign to move a single political target, we strengthen plans by supporting groups to ground themselves early in the communities they aim to serve. We help identify and navigate potential gaps in campaign work with regard to accessibility, inclusivity, and equity. Together we can then advance those visions by clarifying purpose and goals, setting smart strategy, and prioritizing.
Planning workshop with new board of directors
Recruit and onboard the right people, then support them
Does your team want to "level up" and take on more leadership? We can connect you to strong organizers and help you develop them through custom engagement ladders, coaching, and training programs. We support teams in developing relationships based in trust, giving and receiving feedback, so they can work through what is needed.

Prepare to enter new communities with care
We help groups feel confident in their ability to roll out a project knowing they have examined important dynamics and are prepared for the realities of listening and incorporating feedback. Using the appropriate tools and technologies, we can build a field program that allows you to build power across differences and create campaigns that are in partnership with and inclusive of communities.

Who we’ve worked with
What People Are Saying
“Izzy and Laura were extremely thoughtful when training our team to facilitate a community listening session. They were able to work with our timeline and cater to the community members we were connecting with and the goals of our program. The activities were engaging and allowed all community members to participate in a way they were comfortable with. Better Outcomes Consulting made my team more comfortable and confident with facilitating the session and asking questions that resonate with our constituents.”
— Benice Mach, Mobility LABs Project Coordinator, Undo Poverty
“Izzy and Laura stewarded our ED hiring process with the grace and intentionality the board aspired to achieve throughout the entire process. From building a detailed, well organized dashboard/agenda, to assisting us in developing a job description for the new position through multiple facilitated sessions for staff and board, to tactfully crafting a thorough hiring rubric, BOC ensured that equity and best practices were met throughout each step of the interview process. The direct and open communication both to the hiring committee itself as well as board and staff went above and beyond expectations and made everyone feel included in the process and like they had a voice.”
—Isabella Kent, Boad Member, Pro-Choice Washington
