I would like to start writing more to improve my PM tool belt, BUT I am worried my topics (published on Medium) will be viewed by my colleagues which some might not be to flattered by.

As long as I am not exposing company secrets or slandering, can I be reprimanded for my writing about my professional experiences?

Any suggestions?

Definitely change names and identifying details of coworkers in your story. Check if your company has a social media policy, professional writing is likely categorized similarly, implicitly or explicitly. HR can answer that question for you

I definitely wouldn’t use names. But the concepts / workflows / interactions would be easy to decipher for an insider.

I would definitely check with HR around what the policies are. If it's easily decipherable, I would tread lightly in my personal opinion

You can write under a moniker or maybe just your initials? Do you already have a Medium account with your personal information on there?

Check your company's policy on this, just in case. And, of course, I'd also write under a pseudonym and change any identifying details.

I’ve wondered about this as well. I don’t fancy myself an “influencer” in product but I would like to contribute to product world and I think it would help me learn more.

My company is small so changing names isn’t going to work. I also worry about future work being impacted if an HM finds my writing and doesn’t like it (maybe that’s a blessing in disguise).
