National "Swap Ideas Day" Insights, Posts & Suggestions

Did you know that Tuesday, September 10th is Swap Ideas Day? It's all about encouraging people to trade creative, helpful suggestions with others and I'm scanning the internet to see what folks are sharing! Look for suggestions by searching the hashtag #SwapIdeasDay and let us know what inspires you. I'm going to be adding some thoughts later today on here as well as my Facebook page.





"How to celebrate Swap Ideas Day ~ If you get an idea, write it down before you forget it. If the idea is something beyond your power to create it, find someone who can. Make a list of those who you feel you can trust with your idea and break them down in to categories where they might be of the most use." source




National Swap Ideas Day, which is annually celebrated on September 10, encourages us to share a creative or helpful idea (or ideas) with someone and trade them for their idea (or ideas) in return.




Every day is a good day for sharing positive vibes. Today we are celebrating Swap Ideas Day. Invented by Robert Birtch, shares a concept of gathering together and exchanging ideas.💡💫 Don't be afraid of sharing your thoughts and dreams! 🤩🤸There are people that can turn them into a reality! source





Even if you hadn’t heard of Swap Ideas Day (and we certainly hadn’t), there’s no reason that your association can’t celebrate the spirit of the September 10 holiday. source




#SwapIdeasDay ~ "Collective innovation creates an atmosphere of creativity, belonging, and camaraderie. It’s beyond brainstorming- it’s Heartstorming!" source




An example of how one could utilize today as a discussion hub or suggestion center, offering thoughts on a yearly project: Today is Swap Ideas Day and I'm asking my creative followers to give ideas on what we should do for a Christmas 2019 Campaign? source




Swapping ideas today does not have to be done on a one-on-one basis. It would be fun for a group of people to get together and share ideas. People could share their thoughts and concepts and also learn from each other, while gathered in a social grouping.




Groups of people benefit from the skills of others, and the energy of brainstorming compounds the efforts of the entire team. Often an idea shared by one person generates two or even three new concepts within the group creating opportunities for everyone. source




We know great ideas can change the world, but have you considered your own ideas as the currency that could drive this change? Today on International Swap Ideas Day, tag someone who you’d like to trade some of your crazy, world-changing ideas with. source
