Dr. Camilla Kring is the international pioneer behind chronodiversity, chronoinclusion, chronoequity, and chronoleadership. For nearly two decades, she has worked across 17 countries to redesign workplaces, school systems, and organizational structures to support people whose natural rhythms fall outside traditional schedules. Her work challenges chrononormativity and offers leaders concrete tools to create environments where biological intelligence strengthens performance. When she takes the stage, she brings science, clarity, and a transformative perspective on how time and leadership shape human potential.
Dr. Camilla Kring has shaped global conversations on how biological timing influences leadership, inclusion, and performance. Her book ChronoLeadership, shortlisted for Leadership Book of the Year 2025, provides a practical foundation for redesigning workplaces around human rhythms. The model has resonated widely because it links scientific insight with everyday leadership decisions. Her perspectives have been featured in international media including The New York Times, BBC, Fast Company, and The Guardian, reflecting her role as a recognized voice in the field.
Chronodiversity introduces a powerful perspective on human difference: the natural variation in when people think, learn, and perform at their best. Dr. Kring highlights how early-riser bias affects decision-making, collaboration, school performance, and leadership expectations. By integrating chronoinclusion and chronoequity into organizational structures, leaders can support both early and late chronotypes and create cultures where energy and focus are used more intelligently. This shift strengthens psychological safety, reduces stress, and improves long-term performance.
As a TEDx speaker, engineer, and long-time time activist, Dr. Kring bridges circadian science and leadership development. She helps organizations rethink outdated time norms and move toward healthier, more flexible structures. Her keynotes combine scientific clarity with practical steps, making complex biological principles easy to understand and implement. Drawing on almost 20 years of global experience, she provides cases, tools, and frameworks that help leaders adapt to a rapidly changing work landscape.
Chronodiversity focuses on when people function at their best, just as neurodiversity focuses on how we think. Both challenge narrow norms that shape schools and workplaces, and both reveal how early start times, fixed schedules, and rigid energy expectations create barriers for many, especially those who are chronodivergent. Through her work across 17 countries, Dr. Camilla Kring has developed the first models for chronoinclusion, chronoequity, and chronoleadership, giving leaders a clear framework for building healthier and more flexible cultures.
These benefits become clear when organizations embrace chronodiversity:
Dr. Kring equips leaders with strategies that can be applied immediately. Her approach focuses on structural improvements rather than individual adjustments. This includes designing flexible collaboration windows, rethinking time-based performance metrics, and ensuring fairness for both early and late chronotypes. She encourages leaders to view time as a biological variable rather than a rigid rule, a shift that opens the door to healthier and more effective teams.
Booking Dr. Kring means inviting the founder of a global movement built on science, inclusion, and practical leadership. She provides audiences with a clear, inspiring, and actionable roadmap for redesigning work in a way that aligns with human biology. Her talks resonate with leaders who want to modernize culture, support well-being, and strengthen performance without unnecessary complexity. With her mix of scientific insight, real-world experience, and an energizing delivery style, she offers a perspective that remains highly relevant in a world where flexibility and human-centered leadership matter more than ever.
Keynote by Dr. Camilla Kring:
Most workplaces still rely on rigid time structures designed for the needs of the industrial era, rather than for human biology. Chrononormativity limits focus, creativity and collaboration by forcing everyone into the same schedule. In this keynote, Dr Camilla Kring demonstrates how chrono-inclusive workplaces can create conditions that lead to higher performance and better wellbeing by aligning work with natural human rhythms.
Participants will learn how to redesign time culture to support both early and late chronotypes equally, and how this can give organisations a competitive advantage when it comes to attracting talent, strengthening engagement and improving performance across teams.

In a world of rapid change, time has become one of the most overlooked performance variables. Chronoleadership offers a new framework for leading with biological intelligence, providing an understanding of how timing, rhythm and circadian energy influence decision-making, focus and team performance.
In this keynote, Dr Camilla Kring translates chronobiology into practical leadership strategies. Leaders will learn how to design schedules, collaboration patterns and work environments that enhance focus, minimise friction and unlock high performance across teams without increasing workload.

Sleep and timing are among the strongest predictors of performance, yet most workplaces still operate on schedules that do not reflect human biology. In this keynote, Dr Camilla Kring reveals how sleep timing, chronotypes and daily energy patterns influence focus, mood and cognitive performance.
Participants will learn to identify their own peak performance periods and understand how teams can work more effectively when tasks follow natural rhythms. This keynote combines science, practical tools and mindset shifts to improve wellbeing and performance.
