4 LEAF PERFORMANCE IN LONDON: TRUST MEETS TRANSPARENCY IN A CITY OF LEGENDS
2023 was a year of evolution and reinvention for 4 Leaf Performance. Amidst a rapidly changing global landscape, the firm took a bold stride into one of the world’s most iconic cities – London. A city where the old-world charm of business traditions coexists with the pulsating energy of modern disruptions, London was not merely a new destination but a testament to 4 Leaf Performance’s enduring spirit.
At the helm of this ambitious endeavor were two visionary leaders, Des Ryan and Luke Dillon. While they brought distinct approaches to the table, their core philosophies were in beautiful harmony. Des, with his unwavering commitment to ‘Contribute,’ aspired to be a beacon of positive change in London’s multifaceted business terrain. Luke, on the other hand, was a champion of the ‘Better Way,’ a doctrine rooted in decluttering the often convoluted nature of London’s vast marketplace.
Their collaborative approach painted a vivid picture of 4 Leaf Performance’s future in London. Des’s strategy was crystal clear: to forge relationships anchored in trust. This was not the fleeting trust of transactional engagements but the deep-rooted, unwavering trust built on ethical foundations and proven results. Luke, with his unique mantra of ‘Clarify’ and ‘Simplify,’ envisioned a framework where businesses could navigate challenges with ease. No challenge was too big; under Luke’s guidance, complexities would be methodically deconstructed, yielding straightforward solutions that clients could readily embrace.
But this wasn’t just about two leaders joining forces. It was a harmonious blend of vision and execution, a synchrony that promised to revolutionize the way businesses operated in London. Their combined leadership wasn’t merely a strategic move; it was a powerful statement. It signaled 4 Leaf Performance’s unwavering commitment to offering London a fresh perspective—one that seamlessly married trust with transparency.
4 Leaf Performance’s London venture is more than just a chapter in their corporate story. It’s a testament to the firm’s ability to adapt, innovate, and lead, even in the world’s most competitive markets. With Des and Luke at the forefront, the company’s move into London is not just about expansion; it’s about leaving an indelible mark on a city renowned for its business acumen and vibrancy. Through their synergy, they aim to redefine business norms, ensuring London’s business community benefits from a unique blend of integrity, clarity, and simplicity.

Des is genuinely dedicated to my success and goes above and beyond to provide support, encouragement, and accountability.
Des demonstrates a deep understanding of business strategies, marketing techniques, and effective leadership principles. His extensive knowledge and experience in these areas are evident in the practical and customised advice he provides.
He is not only helping me to improve my business operations but also empowering me to become a more effective leader and decision-maker.
I wholehearted recommend Des Ryan to any individual or business seeking to enhance their performance, overcome obstacles, and achieve results.
His expertise, professionalism and genuine passion for helping others is truly commendable.
Working with Des is an invaluable investment in my personal and professional development and I am grateful for the positive impact he is having on my business.
Gerry McNeill,
Kangen Water
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.
Jack Ascic,

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.
Willie Keague,
Managing Director at Nationwide Safety Training
Des has been amazing.
Since starting my coaching sessions I have learned so much about myself, my business and what we need to do to take the business to the next level. Setting out goals really gives me the motivation to achieve these goals.
