Joyce Rice is an inspiring and enthusiastic performer, author, and motivational speaker who connects to audiences of all ages through her genuine and generous spirit.

Featured nationally on ABC, CBS, and NBC, as well as numerous international television programs, Joyce has lectured on the “Art of Innovation” for such influential and forward-thinking corporations as General Dynamics, Rockwell International, and ITT.

Her self-developed strategies for success and happiness originated on her family’s sixth-generation farm in Iowa and have been cultivated over a lifetime.

At age 17—after years of practice, determination and staying true to her potential—she was judged the best baton twirler in the world, defeating some 20,000 other young women for the World Champion title.

But that was just the beginning. She has also excelled in the field of entertainment with more than 40 years of experience on stage.

Her talent with the baton took her across the US and Europe, performing at professional football games, festivals, and world fairs and as the opening act for the Harlem Globetrotters.

She parlayed that talent into a long-running act as America’s Favorite Cowgirl, demonstrating her prowess with whip-cracking, lariat-spinning, juggling, and comedy at venues around the world.

She also co-founded and developed the “Thank A Farmer” educational program, adding magic tricks to her repertoire to promote agriculture and the critical role of farmers and ranchers.

Joyce’s numerous successes allow her to share with audiences how an Iowa farm girl with a dream became a successful innovator in show business—and one of today’s most unique and outstanding speakers.

Her journey inspires her to engage with audiences and light a spark that will put people on the path of accomplishing their own dreams.

She’s been called a “master of visual and verbal communication” and uses those skills to make points indelible and delight audiences by demonstrating innovation in action.

By sharing her life lessons and proven strategies, Joyce inspires and empowers others to maximize their talents, rise to the top, and live their full potential.

Joyce strives to help others remember they are capable, responsible, and in control of achieving their goals and dreams.
