Linda joined the Saskatchewan Roughrider Dream Team Cheerleaders in 1989, a Grey Cup Year. She cheered throughout the early 90s and was team captain 1990 – 1992 and named Cheerleader of the Year in 1991.
She credits her time as a cheerleader for sparking her passion for leadership development and a commitment to community, which inspired her to choose the profession of executive coach. She is the president and founder of Allen-Hardisty Leadership Group, the first ICF Master Certified Coach in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, featured in Forbes Coaches Council, and teaches leadership development programs at Queen’s University IRC. She gives back to her community by serving on various boards and currently serves on the Red Cross of Saskatchewan Executive Cabinet.
Her commitment to the Saskatchewan Roughrider Football Club continues past her cheerleading days in several ways including being a member of the 2005 Grey Cup Gala Committee, and, in 2023 being a key presenter in the tribute video to honour the first woman inducted into the Saskatchewan Roughrider Plaza of Honour. Linda was part of the inaugural CFCAO Performance Team at Grey Cup 2024 in Vancouver. Cheerleading is the common thread that continues to connect her to many talented individuals across Canada. She lives in Saskatchewan with her husband, Scott, and always with at least one Irish Wolfhound in their family.
