PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY STRATEGIESÂ FOR STRONGER TEAMS
At the heart of Dr. Amber Gunner’s work is the KVAT Framework—a people-centered model designed to help leaders and teams understand the core psychological needs that fuel trust, collaboration, and high performance.
The KVAT Framework helps teams recognize and meet four key psychological safety needs:
- Knowledge: Being informed, included, and kept in the loop
- Valued: Acknowledging and appreciating one’s contributions
- Autonomy: Having trust and flexibility in how work is approached
-
Trust: Knowing it’s safe to speak up, ask for help, or take risks
When leaders understand the unique safety needs of their team members, they can lead with clarity, empathy, and strategy—creating environments where people feel safe to engage, innovate, and grow.
Through keynotes, interactive workshops, and consulting partnerships with corporate teams and ERGs, Dr. Gunner helps organizations implement the KVAT Framework in real, practical ways—transforming how teams connect, communicate, and perform together.

AMAZING in so many ways! The workshop was engaging from start to finish.  Dr. Amber was so insightful, easy to follow, and provided information that was different...I think she brought attention to multiple aspects of burnout that many weren't aware of and that awareness is the first step towards positive change. She also provided steps to overcome major stressors."
