Founder of B-Society & Global Pioneer in Chronoleadership & Chronoinclusion

Dr. Camilla Kring is the international pioneer behind chronoleadership, chronoinclusion and chronoequity.
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.

 

Award-nominated author

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.

 

A new dimension of leadership

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.

 

Thought leader in the future of work

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 She helps organizations rethink outdated time norms and move toward healthier, more flexible structures.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.

 

Key benefits of Chronoleadership

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:

  • Stronger engagement when people work closer to their natural rhythm.
  • Better collaboration across teams with different peak performance windows.
  • Higher quality of work through improved focus and energy management.
  • Reduced stress and better overall well-being.
  • More inclusive leadership practices that embrace biological difference.
  • Increased trust and autonomy in daily workflows.
  • Improved long-term performance without increasing workload.

 

Practical tools for leaders

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.

 

Why organizations book Dr. Camilla Kring

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.

Keynotes

Keynote by Dr. Camilla Kring:

ChronoLeadership: The Future of Time & Performance

How Timing Shapes Energy and Performance

 
In 2003, while writing her PhD on work-life balance, Camilla Kring came across research on the circadian clock gene PER3. It gave her scientific language for something she had always known in her own body: she is a late chronotype.
 
Once she understood this, she stopped working against her rhythm and began writing her PhD from noon until midnight, when her energy, concentration and creativity were strongest.
 
That discovery led to a much larger leadership question.
 
Human beings are not equally alert, creative or productive at the same time of day. A morning meeting may catch one person at their peak and another at their biological low point.
 
What is really about timing can easily become a judgement about the person.
 
What appears to be motivation, discipline or ability can sometimes partly be a question of when we see people.
 
Chronoleadership brings this science into everyday leadership. It begins with understanding your own rhythm, but leaders also need curiosity about the rhythms of the people around them.
 
Different rhythms can collide, but they can also complement one another. Camilla shows how understanding chronotypes and daily energy patterns can change the way we think about meetings, focus work, collaboration, decision-making and recovery.
 
Chronoleadership is about understanding when people have access to their best capacity and creating work and life design for morning people and evening people.

Keynote by Dr. Camilla Kring:

Leaders as Time Architects

Designing Time for Energy, Wellbeing and Productivity

In 2004, while living in Beijing as part of her PhD research, Camilla Kring visited an old Drum Tower. For centuries, drums had sounded across the city to mark time and organise collective life. In the West, bells played a similar role. Time was not only measured. It created rhythm.
 
Today, leaders still create rhythms for other people through working hours, meetings, shifts, breaks, focus time and expectations of availability. Yet we rarely think of these structures as leadership decisions.
 
Much of modern work now depends on concentration, judgement, creativity, learning and relationships. But many of our time structures were inherited from societies and forms of work built around very different needs.
 
When the structure fits, we barely notice it. When it does not, people spend energy compensating — and organisations lose capacity.
 
In this keynote, Camilla introduces time architecture: making inherited time structures visible, listening to friction and designing rhythms more consciously around both the work and the people doing it.
 
The answer is not unlimited flexibility. Organisations need shared time and coordination. The challenge is to design time rhythms and structures that help people thrive, stay energised and be productive.
 
The one who owns the clock owns the rhythm.
 
And that leaves leaders with a powerful question:
 
How can we shape time so that both the work and the people doing it can succeed?

Life Navigation

Sustainable Rhythms for the 100-Year Life

For more than twenty years, Camilla Kring has explored the relationship between work and life. Her PhD was in work-life balance, but chronobiology added another dimension to the question.
 
Work and life are not only about how much time we give to each. They are also about when.
 
We live in many rhythms at once. Our bodies have circadian rhythms. Work has rhythms of concentration, collaboration and recovery. Families and relationships have rhythms. Different stages of life have rhythms. And as our lives change, our rhythms change with them.
 
Camilla calls this perspective work-life rhythms.
 
Some rhythms converge and strengthen one another. Others pull in opposite directions and create friction. And sometimes different rhythms complement one another.
 
As we increasingly talk about the 100-year life and longer working lives, Camilla asks a different question:
 
What rhythms can we actually sustain over decades?
 
In this storytelling-driven keynote, she explores how greater awareness and autonomy over time can help working rhythms, circadian rhythms and family rhythms work better together instead of collide.
 
It is about creating sustainable rhythms that leave more energy available for work, relationships, recovery and the things that matter,  throughout a long life.
