+1 for this book. Also, if your company can afford it, having Meyers or Sutter coming on site to give a day or two lecture to a group about Modern C++ is worth it. They both have great handout material, give great lectures/presentations and are very approachable with (even idiotic) questions.

Scott retired in 2015; I don't know if Scott is still active in terms of lectures/presentations:

Jon Kalb has told on CppCast that Scott is doing a presentation at CppNow, but totally unrelated to C++ (presentation skills workshop).

Aw, damn. It's been before 2014 I last saw him in person, so I have no idea. It's a shame, because he is a great presenter with an infectious energy about him that I found really engaging.
