Beyond Borders: The Strategic Leap of 4 Leaf Performance into Dublin’s Innovation Ecosystem
The year 2023 wasn’t just any year for 4 Leaf Performance. Under the dynamic leadership of Des Ryan, the company made a monumental decision to broaden its horizons and step into the thriving technological heart of Europe – Dublin, Ireland. Renowned as an epicenter of innovation and often referred to as the “Silicon Docks,” Dublin was no longer just a city on the map; it was a beacon of opportunities waiting to be explored.
For many companies, expansion into a new region is a play for increased profits or a larger customer base. But for Des Ryan and 4 Leaf Performance, Dublin was not merely a new market to tap into. It represented a commitment to their guiding principle of ‘Contribute.’ In Des’s visionary eyes, Dublin wasn’t just a city; it was an influential platform that held the promise of catalyzing the company’s growth.
What set Des apart was his unwavering belief in the power of trust. In a world driven by fleeting interactions and transactional relationships, Des sought to ground business interactions in genuine trust. This ethos seamlessly dovetailed with 4 Leaf Performance’s core values and found resonance in Dublin’s rich cultural fabric. Add to that the city’s burgeoning economic ecosystem, buoyed by a talented workforce and forward-thinking business regulations, and it became evident that 4 Leaf Performance’s entry into Dublin was more than just a move; it was a masterstroke.
However, their foray into Dublin was far from being a mere geographical milestone. It represented a meticulously thought-out strategic decision. It was a testament to Des’s leadership and foresight, marking a resolute commitment to not only grow 4 Leaf Performance’s footprint but also to enrich and elevate Dublin’s business community. At its heart, this expansion was rooted in a philosophy that valued long-term collaborations over transient successes.
This audacious move by 4 Leaf Performance into Dublin is, without a doubt, a landmark moment in the company’s illustrious history. It exemplifies the perfect alignment of Des’s innovative vision with the vast potential nestled within Dublin’s innovative ecosystem. As 4 Leaf Performance embeds itself in the Dublin landscape, its emphasis on ‘Contribute’ continues to reverberate, mirroring its unwavering ambition to create a transformative imprint in the world of business and innovation.

Before speaking to Des, I felt like I was going down the road of business blindfolded, thinking the reason why I’m in business is because I’m good at what I do and so I can put food on my family’s table. Wrong!
Des’s approach brought tangible, actionable strategy that has provided valuable insight and has been a revelation for me. He greatly helped me understand my own self, my own personality and how I can utilize that to build my businesses and help my customers.
Thy WHY discovery is not just another personality or aptitude test. It’s the one that actually makes perfect sense and that immediately clicked with me as I was going through the results with Des.
If you haven’t already, please please pretty please with a cherry on top, take up Des on the same offer because it’s worth so much more than what he’s selling it for, even the full price. And go through me so I can log it as a referral.

I previously attended a business mentoring program delivered by Des and found it benefitted me both professionally and personally.
Des’s coaching helped bring my business to the next level and we’ve gone from strength to strength since then.
Recently I signed up to another coaching program with Des and as usual it’s up to his usual excellent standard. I heartily and highly recommend Des Ryan of GPA for any business owner or manager looking to get a better understanding of how best to manage their business and take it to the next level.
