run me through

[unpakwon]

What does "run through" mean in the following?

1. Intrigued by her philosophy of diversity, I asked Phyllis to run me through a workshop she runs for employees at Charles Schwab.

2. Identify the cultural assumptions that inform personal behavior.

I know the general meaning of "inform," but in the above context it's confusing. What does it mean here?

Thank you.

#1 In the context presented, "run me through" means to review for me/tell me about (the workshop).

#2 Not the best choice of words. I would prefer to use "influence".

I see.

Thank you for the help.

Maybe not the best in an audience that is not accustomed to Br English; and possibly a little formal (or even archaic).
