Dr Norah Clarke is an accomplished academic, researcher, and entrepreneurship development expert who has played a pivotal role in establishing and growing integrated platforms for entrepreneurship across South Africa’s public higher education institutions. With a doctorate in the Psychology of Education and a focus on resilience, she brings a unique perspective to her work, rooted in a desire to empower individuals, particularly women, as nurturers and educators of future generations.
As the founding Director of the Entrepreneurship Development in Higher Education (EDHE) programme, Norah successfully built an integrated platform for entrepreneurship development across all South African public Higher Education Institutions over a 7-year period. Her expertise lies in mobilising people to achieve objectives, developing social ecosystems, and fostering resilience within organisations and communities.
She is a pioneer who thrives in uncharted territory, breaking new ground for social, educational, and economic impact. Norah’s academic roots and passion for student success have led her to found sustainable initiatives and businesses in both basic and higher education. As an independent consultant, she addresses complex problems for educational institutions, organisations, and businesses, with a focus on entrepreneurship development, social ecosystem building, and optimising learning and development.
Norah’s extensive experience in adult learning, organisational culture, and research-driven understanding of human behaviour and motivation make her a valuable asset in driving positive change. She is deeply committed to the socio-economic development of people of all ages, believing in their potential to become catalysts for positive change in society and the environment.
