Youssef Sleiman

Quirky, wordy and lightning-fast with a keyboard, Youssef Sleiman is a professional writer and brand journalist working in Dallas, Texas. ​ He’s a quick study, a systems thinker with an investigative and creatively divergent mind. His career-defining mission is to “make the important interesting.” His years of experience on the street as a local newspaper reporter in the Pacific Northwest shaped his natural curiosity and insight, sparking his drive to push for a more equitable society. Today, Youssef facilitates virtual get-togethers with gifted individuals, actively follows the gifted community and serves as an administrator and facilitator for the gifted/2E group. Exceptionally gifted himself without a second exceptionality, Youssef devotes his time in the gifted community promoting mental health while supporting and empathizing with humanity’s outliers. When he’s not replacing keyboards ruined by his typing speed, he entertains himself with novel writing, collaborative storygaming and trying new hobbies.

Youssef's coaching, Gifted Curious, offers a first step into giftedness and twice-exceptional topics. ​ Services are geared toward the newly identified, those rediscovering, and anyone who is gifted curious. Email Youssef through the contact page for more information!
