Brian Kornfield, a seasoned financial strategist and educator with more than 15 years of experience spanning risk management, finance, insurance, nonprofit leadership, and teaching.

 

Brian holds a Master’s degree in Finance, a Post-Master’s Certificate in Teaching, and a Bachelor’s in Political Science—a rare blend of analytical insight and educational clarity.

 

From the boardroom to the classroom, Brian has helped both large and small organizations build accountability, clarity, and sustainability in their financial practices. He’s successfully implemented financial technology systems, led internal training for managers and senior executives, and created frameworks that ensure transparency in budgeting and reporting.

​

“Just like every good hotel starts with clean sheets,” Brian says,“every successful organization must start with a clear understanding of their sources and uses of funds—and an honest look at the risks built into their operations.”

​

What sets Brian apart isn’t just his technical expertise—it’s his people-centered approach. He deeply understands how financial health and organizational culture are inextricably linked. His financial reviews are designed to complement The Self Care Network’s equity, wellness, and sustainability focus, providing leaders with a well-rounded understanding of both what’s happening on the balance sheet and what’s unfolding within their teams.

Abby Anderson supports leaders in integrating equity and belonging practices into their work and lives.

 

For over a decade, she served as the executive director of an organization dedicated to ending the criminalization of children. During this time, Abby recognized how her whiteness and lack of direct impact created knowledge gaps in her leadership, at times perpetuating inequity. This realization led her to engage in deep personal work and drive an organization-wide effort to reexamine policies and practices, ultimately co-creating a youth/adult partnership model that centers the expertise of directly impacted youth.

 

As a certified coach through the Academy of Creative Coaching and a Certified Diversity-to-Belonging Facilitator through Veritas Culture, Abby provides coaching, consulting, training, and facilitation, with a focus on helping white leaders de-center whiteness. She walks alongside her partners, offering space to process, incorporate, and implement equity and belonging leadership tools.

Her approach goes beyond adopting trends, focusing instead on guiding organizations through the introspective work necessary to align internal culture with external dynamics, ensuring impactful and lasting results.

The Self Care Network LLC  has promoted Lucas James as the "Head of Mess Development". Lucas is a 3 year old goldendoodle whose favorite job task is pulling every toy out of the toy bin to find the perfect one to play with. After work, he can be found in the kitchen monitoring the floor as his quest to become known as the World’s Hungriest Goldendoodle.

 

In his free time, Lucas loves to explore the world with his mouth, give kisses, and playing with his friends.  As an avid foodie he definitely lives up to his title “Head of Mess Development” even if he is often redirected to drop it, or leave it. When asked how he felt about the promotion, Lucas said " I am excited for the opportunity to tackle any mess that falls on the floor, I have my nose ready to sniff out any spills and I guarentee it will be cleaned up in under 1 minute."

 

While some applicants require hours of training in order to learn and master the skills it takes to get a job done right, others are born with it.  As the head of our cleaning services, every bone on the floor, every spilled glass of water, Lucas will lick it up.
