Meet Youssef
Special Consultant.
Bright Insight Board Director of Creative Strategy.
Organizational Steward.
Quirky, wordy, and lightning-fast at the keyboard — Youssef Sleiman believes curiosity and play can change lives for the better. He researches, writes, consults, creates and presents about giftedness and twice-exceptionality. As a special consultant with Gifted Curious, Youssef supports individuals new to giftedness, rediscovering their giftedness, or just plain gifted curious.
“Mental health is especially important when you have a lot of mental to make healthy. That’s why I work to support mental wellness initiatives in neurodivergent and gifted communities."
Newest Course Available: Gifted Curious Workshop
Instead of a course defining giftedness, this 10-session workshop poses questions in a small-group setting about their lived experiences. Participants follow a guided journey through the concept of whole-person giftedness while delving into the neurobiology of intelligence and the (difficult) history of IQ testing.
Insightful, integrative and informative, the Gifted Curious Workshop offer participants a place to explore gifted stereotypes, gifted needs, social constructs of intelligence, and more.
What does Youssef Sleiman do?
I create and run games that promote health and connection.
I facilitate groups and social events for gifted/2E adults.
I share discoveries about giftedness and point out what science still doesn’t know.
I navigate complexity for business owners seeking the advantage of a gifted, neurodivergent mind.
I help gifted/2E individuals work toward new self-orientation whether they’re newly identified, rediscovering or just gifted curious.
